Target Audience

This program is intended for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers who care for patients with EGFR mutation–positive NSCLC.

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 exposure 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
