Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Implement best practices and guideline-endorsed molecular testing algorithms in NSCLC for evaluation of EGFR mutation status in newly diagnosed patients and those with acquired resistance following EGFR TKI therapy
  • Compare available efficacy and safety data of systemic therapies throughout the continuum of EGFR mutation–positive metastatic or locally advanced NSCLC from the first-line setting to the second-line setting and beyond (including outcomes by type of EGFR mutation and the presence of comutations)
  • Describe the biologic rationale for the design of clinical trials combining EGFR-targeted and VEGFR-targeted therapy in EGFR mutation–positive NSCLC and potential ramifications for practice based on recent clinical trial results
  • Plan therapy based on an understanding of the subtype of EGFR mutation as well as comutations such as TP53
  • Refine EGFR mutation–positive metastatic and locally advanced NSCLC treatment algorithms based on molecular profile and prior therapy expsoure in earlier lines of therapy
  • Identify patients eligible to enroll on important ongoing clinical trials evaluating promising investigational agents and combinations for EGFR mutation–positive NSCLC
