Amplifying the ADC Advantage: How to Fulfill the Potential of Antibody–Drug Conjugates as the Next Frontier in Precision Lung Cancer Care
Amplifying the ADC Advantage: How to Fulfill the Potential of Antibody–Drug Conjugates as the Next Frontier in Precision Lung Cancer Care is organized by PVI, PeerView Institute for Medical Education.
Activity Release Date: June 4, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: July 3, 2024
Activity Description:
Mounting evidence continues to elucidate the clinical potential of antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) in the treatment of patients with lung cancer. ADCs are now transitioning from research settings to clinical practice, with the first approval of a novel HER2-targeting ADC, trastuzumab deruxtecan, for HER2-mutated NSCLC. In addition, various other potent ADCs targeting HER3, TROP2, CEACAM5, c-MET, AXL, ROR2, and others are being evaluated in clinical trials in different disease settings, including in patients with advanced NSCLC with and without actionable genomic alterations, and they are showing impressive activity. How do we realize the promise of these ADCs as the next frontier in precision lung cancer care? What are the best ways to apply the emerging science to patient care decisions in everyday practice?
These and other key questions are addressed in this activity, which is based on a recent live symposium and produced in collaboration with the LUNGevity Foundation to highlight patient perspectives alongside those of clinicians. Leading experts in the field share their interpretations of the latest practice-changing evidence and provide practical guidance using real-world case scenarios to demonstrate how to maximize beneficial patient outcomes using ADCs.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
• Discuss the modern composition, rationale for use, and clinical potential of novel ADCs in NSCLC
• Compare the characteristics, efficacy/safety, and ongoing investigations of novel ADCs in NSCLC
Apply the latest evidence and guidelines on patient assessment in NSCLC, including biomarker testing as indicated, to identify patients for targeted therapies, including novel ADCs
• Utilize best practices for identifying and managing treatment-related adverse events in patients receiving targeted therapies for NSCLC to promote optimal adherence, outcomes, and quality of life.
