Agenda

Each 1-hour session will be divided into topic modules focused on current management, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for lung cancer. Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

  • Moderator Dr Neil Love and a featured participating clinical investigator
  • Discussion of participating faculty treatment recommendations
  • Review of available clinical research findings
  • Community oncologist video case presentations
  • Interactive audience polling and extensive Q&A

    MODULE 1: Current and Emerging Role of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for Patients with Non-Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

    MODULE 2: Optimal Incorporation of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors into the Management of Patients with Metastatic NSCLC without a Targetable Mutation

    MODULE 3: Novel Immunotherapeutic Strategies Under Investigation in NSCLC

    MODULE 4: Role of Immunotherapy in Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM)

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyze the biologic basis for the investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy.
  • Appreciate emerging Phase III findings with the use of an anti-PD-L1 antibody following the completion of chemotherapy and surgery for patients with resectable NSCLC, and consider the potential effect of this information on current and future clinical practice.
  • Appraise the FDA approval of anti-PD-L1 antibody consolidation for patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who have not experienced disease progression after standard platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent with radiation therapy, and discern how this strategy can be safely integrated into routine clinical practice.
  • Review recent therapeutic advances related to the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, chemobiologic therapy or other immunotherapy for metastatic NSCLC and consider the clinical and biologic factors impacting the recommendation of one approach versus the others.
  • Evaluate the FDA approvals of anti-PD-L1 antibodies in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line therapy for patients with extensive-stage SCLC, and consider how these approaches can be appropriately and safely integrated into clinical practice.
  • Review the scientific justification for the investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and evaluate their current clinical role as first-line therapy for individuals with unresectable disease.
  • Recall the designs of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody-based approaches for patients with NSCLC, SCLC and MPM and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
