1) Recent immunotherapy advances for advanced NSCLC include the approval of pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment for patients with PD-L1 expression ≥50% based on results from the KEYNOTE-024 trial showing improved progression-free and overall survival compared to chemotherapy.
2) The Phase III KEYNOTE-407 trial found that combining pembrolizumab with chemotherapy improved progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with untreated metastatic squamous NSCLC, regardless of PD-L1 expression level.
3) Combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy may enhance the immune response by increasing antigen presentation, disrupting immune evasion mechanisms, and improving outcomes compared to chemotherapy or immunotherapy alone.
Recent advances in targeted therapy for metastatic lung cancerAlok Gupta
This document discusses recent advances in targeted therapy for metastatic lung cancer. It summarizes key findings from several clinical trials evaluating third-generation EGFR TKIs like osimertinib for patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC. The document highlights that osimertinib provides significantly longer progression-free survival compared to earlier generation EGFR TKIs, with a median PFS of 18.9 months versus 10.2 months. Osimertinib also demonstrated a higher objective response rate and longer duration of response. Benefits were consistent across patient subgroups.
Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths with approximately 80% of cases accounting to nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) . In NSCLC target therapy, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a promising candidate.
Cancer immunotherapy shows promise for treating cancer. Recent advances include checkpoint inhibitors that help the immune system attack cancer cells. Over 200 types of cancer vaccines currently in clinical trials aim to strengthen the immune response against cancers. Dendritic cell vaccines have shown some success by extracting a patient's dendritic cells, exposing them to tumor antigens, and reintroducing them to induce an immune response. Combining immunotherapies with other treatments continues to be a promising area of research, as over 6,000 clinical trials are studying various immunotherapy combinations. With over 240 new immunotherapies in development, cancer experts are optimistic that immunotherapy can significantly improve cancer outcomes.

Cancer Immunotherapies (Focus on Melanoma & Lung Cancers)Zeena Nackerdien
Effective immunotherapy i.e. enlisting the patient’s own immune system to fight disease may mark a milestone in the fight against certain cancers. Three lymphocytes – T cells, B cells and NK-cells – involved in specific immune responses against cancers and other diseases. T cells recognize specific antigens via a T-cell antigen-receptor. The two main types of T cells, CD4- and CD8 T-cells, are categorized according to their respective CD4 and CD8 surface markers. The latter group includes cytotoxic T cells, also known as killer T lymphocytes. These cells kill invading pathogens or other disease-causing agents. Scientists discovered that a type of protein receptor, cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA-4), prevented T cells from launching immune attacks [1]. In the early 1990s, another “brake” was discovered in dying T cells namely programmed death 1 or PD-1. The rationale underlying cancer immunotherapy is that exposing CTLA-4, PD-1 or using other appropriate immune-system-based therapies may enable the activation of the immune system to destroy cancer.
Genetically engineering a patient’s T cells to target tumor cells marked one of the promising turning points in cancer immunotherapy, particularly for certain blood cancers and solid tumors. Melanoma and lung cancer, two often-fatal diseases, are treatable in the early stages with surgery or other standards of care. However, some patients are diagnosed during the later stages of the disease or relapse with refractory/unresectable tumors. For these subgroups, the latest National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) tailored algorithms coupled with systemic treatment options, including immunotherapies, could potentially improve outcomes. Here, I summarize the latest approved immunotherapies mentioned in the NCCN guidelines, along with other examples of investigational agents such as monoclonal antibodies, cancer vaccines, and natural killer cells. Additional examples of targeted therapies, novel “druggable” and other immunotargets are presented in the section, ”Future Directions.”

This document discusses recent updates in lung cancer. It begins by noting that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the US and is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Screening with low-dose CT scans can detect lung cancer earlier and has been shown to decrease lung cancer mortality by 20% compared to chest x-rays. The National Lung Screening Trial established low-dose CT screening as an effective screening method for those at high risk. Biomarker testing is important to identify driver mutations and guide targeted therapy options, though barriers like tissue availability and turnaround time exist. Osimertinib has demonstrated superior progression-free survival compared to earlier EGFR TKIs for patients with EGFR-mut
Role of Chemotherapy, Targeted therapy and Immunotherapy in NSCLC (Part II)Mohammed Fathy
1) The document discusses targeted therapies for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with ALK translocations, including crizotinib, alectinib, brigatinib, ceritinib, and lorlatinib.
2) Alectinib is now considered the preferred first-line treatment for ALK-positive NSCLC based on Phase III trials showing it is more effective than crizotinib.
3) For patients who progress on a first-generation ALK inhibitor like crizotinib, later-generation ALK inhibitors such as ceritinib, brigatinib, and lorlatinib have demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials as subsequent therapies.
Cancer immunotherapy harnesses the power of the immune system to fight cancer. Various immunotherapy approaches have been developed including vaccines, cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, and engineered T cells. Many immunotherapies have received FDA approval based on clinical trials demonstrating improved outcomes for cancer patients. New clinical trial designs are exploring immunotherapy combinations in "basket trials" that group patients by biomarkers rather than cancer type and "umbrella trials" that test multiple therapies in one study. Immunotherapy is transforming cancer treatment by activating the immune system against tumors.

This document discusses treatment options for lung cancer, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and palliative care. It describes the different types and stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and provides details on standard treatment approaches based on cancer stage, including combinations of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Targeted therapies discussed include angiogenesis inhibitors like bevacizumab, and EGFR inhibitors like erlotinib and afatinib that target specific genetic mutations in NSCLC cells.
The document discusses current strategies for cancer immunotherapy, including monoclonal antibodies and cell-based immunotherapy. Monoclonal antibodies can target cancer cells directly via mechanisms like antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. They can also be conjugated to toxins or radioactive particles for targeted delivery. Immune checkpoint blockers are a type of monoclonal antibody that blocks inhibitory receptors on T-cells to prolong anti-tumor responses. Cell-based immunotherapy includes adoptive T-cell therapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes or chimeric antigen receptor T-cells that are genetically modified to target specific tumor antigens. Immunotherapy has advantages over other treatments in that it can target cancers throughout the body, is highly specific to cancer cells, and may provide durable, long-
This presentation is part of MIU CE Pharmacy Program and is designed primarily for pharmacists with the following learning objectives:
1- Explain the mechanisms of action behind immune response to cancer and the application of immunotherapy in cancer treatment
2- Distinguish new and emerging immunotherapy classes and individual agents efficacy, safety to therapy in cancer treatment
3-Strategies to counsel and assist patients to overcome barriers to therapy, including Treatment side effects to improve adherence to therapy
- Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide and a leading cause of cancer death. It accounts for the majority (70-80%) of lung cancers.
- Imaging techniques like CT scans are important for accurately assessing the primary tumor and detecting metastasis. Positron emission tomography (PET) CT is more sensitive than size-based criteria alone for detecting lymph node involvement.
- Staging involves classifying the size and extent of the primary tumor and determining if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or distant organs. Higher stages indicate larger primary tumors or spread beyond the lungs.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer associated with smoking. It is highly responsive to chemotherapy but has a high relapse rate and poor prognosis. SCLC is classified into limited stage, which can be treated with radiation, or extensive stage, which has spread. Treatment involves chemotherapy, often with cisplatin and etoposide, and concurrent radiation therapy for limited stage disease. Despite initial response, SCLC often recurs, necessitating additional chemotherapy regimens. Supportive care focuses on smoking cessation and management of paraneoplastic syndromes. Prognosis remains poor due to the aggressiveness of SCLC.

It then discusses how tumors evade the immune system and various approaches to immunotherapy, including active immunotherapies using vaccines made of tumor cells, purified antigens, or antigen-loaded dendritic cells. Passive immunotherapies discussed include adoptive cellular therapy, monoclonal antibodies, and immunotoxins. Clinical trials and effectiveness of different immunotherapies are also summarized.
Pathology and Oncology Expert Perspectives in the Management of Triple-Negati...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck, presented by Dr. Ira Bleiweiss, Chief of Breast Pathology at the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Sara Tolaney, Chief of the Division of Breast Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, will feature expert pathology and oncology perspectives on the management of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), including case explorations and insights into frequently asked questions. Register today to hear these expert perspectives!
Statement of Need
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease that accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of breast cancer diagnoses and is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC is more common in Black women and in women under the age of 40 (ACS, 2023). Compared with other subtypes of invasive breast cancer, TNBC has high rates of metastasis and a poor prognosis. Due to the lack of hormone and receptor targets, therapeutic options are limited, and prognostication and treatment selection are complicated by the heterogeneity of the disease (Yang et al, 2022). In this live webinar, Dr. Sara Tolaney, Chief of the Division of Breast Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Dr. Ira Bleiweiss, Chief of Breast Pathology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, will provide expert oncology and pathology perspectives on evidence-based strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and adverse event management for patients with TNBC.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, oncology nurses, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Evaluate receptor and expression status for prognostication and treatment selection in TNBC
Differentiate the pathological characteristics of the various types of TNBC
Select optimal therapy for TNBC based on shared goals, biomarker testing, and clinical data on novel therapies
Discuss strategies for timely recognition and mitigation of adverse events associated with novel TNBC therapies

n overview of current immunotherapy therapies used to treat cancer. Also provides MOA of various medications, and updates on SITC guidelines for metastatice melanoma.
This document discusses cancer immunotherapy. It begins by describing tumor antigens that can be recognized by the immune system, such as tumor-specific antigens, tumor-associated antigens, and antigens from oncogenic viruses. It then discusses how tumors evade the immune system and various approaches to immunotherapy, including active immunotherapies using vaccines made of tumor cells, purified antigens, or antigen-loaded dendritic cells. Passive immunotherapies discussed include adoptive cellular therapy, monoclonal antibodies, and immunotoxins. Clinical trials and effectiveness of different immunotherapies are also summarized.
Pathology and Oncology Expert Perspectives in the Management of Triple-Negati...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck, presented by Dr. Ira Bleiweiss, Chief of Breast Pathology at the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Sara Tolaney, Chief of the Division of Breast Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, will feature expert pathology and oncology perspectives on the management of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), including case explorations and insights into frequently asked questions. Register today to hear these expert perspectives!
Statement of Need
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease that accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of breast cancer diagnoses and is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC is more common in Black women and in women under the age of 40 (ACS, 2023). Compared with other subtypes of invasive breast cancer, TNBC has high rates of metastasis and a poor prognosis. Due to the lack of hormone and receptor targets, therapeutic options are limited, and prognostication and treatment selection are complicated by the heterogeneity of the disease (Yang et al, 2022). In this live webinar, Dr. Sara Tolaney, Chief of the Division of Breast Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Dr. Ira Bleiweiss, Chief of Breast Pathology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, will provide expert oncology and pathology perspectives on evidence-based strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and adverse event management for patients with TNBC.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, oncology nurses, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Evaluate receptor and expression status for prognostication and treatment selection in TNBC
Differentiate the pathological characteristics of the various types of TNBC
Select optimal therapy for TNBC based on shared goals, biomarker testing, and clinical data on novel therapies
Discuss strategies for timely recognition and mitigation of adverse events associated with novel TNBC therapies
A treatment used to help the immune system fight diseases, such as cancer and infections with certain viruses. These T cells are given back to the patient to help the immune system fight disease" Also called cellular adoptive immunotherapy".

Colorectal Cancer Research & Treatment News - recap from the May 2014 ASCO co...Fight Colorectal Cancer
This document summarizes key findings from the PRIME trial evaluating the addition of panitumumab to FOLFOX4 as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. Biomarker analysis found that KRAS exon 2 wild-type tumors derived greater benefit from the addition of panitumumab, with a progression-free survival advantage compared to FOLFOX4 alone. Further biomarker testing found mutations in other RAS isoforms or BRAF reduced likelihood of benefit from panitumumab. The results support use of RAS/BRAF mutation testing to select patients for first-line anti-EGFR therapy in combination with chemotherapy.
This document provides guidelines for treating stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with known driver mutations. It discusses guidelines for first-line, second-line, and third-line or beyond treatment for NSCLC with mutations in EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, MET, RET, HER2, or NTRK. The guidelines were developed by an expert panel based on a review of literature. A total of 16 recommendations are provided for first-line treatment options for different driver mutations. The recommendations range from strong to weak based on evidence quality.

Everything You Need to Know About Molecular Testing and Targeted Therapies in NSCLC: Essential Guidance for Modern Patient-Centered Precision Lung Cancer Care
1. Shared decision-making (SDM)—a process of
two-way communication during which clinicians
and patients work together to make treatment
and other care-related decisions—has been
found to provide many important benefits
to patients, clinicians, healthcare systems,
and society as a whole
Considering patient preferences, goals, and values is of
increasing importance in the management of lung cancer
because the complexity of the treatment landscape is growing,
resulting in more options and the need for more individualized
approaches to treatment selection and planning that,
in addition to considering the evidence and best practice
recommendations, should take into account the needs and
preferences of patients with lung cancer and their caregivers
High-quality information and resources
are essential for supporting shared
decision-making in lung cancer!

12. Why Test Lung Cancer Patients for Genomic Alterations?
Which Molecular Targets Are Relevant for Testing in NSCLC?
• Genomic alterations are common in nonsquamous NSCLC (approximately 50%)
• Targeted therapies produce better treatment outcomes (eg, higher response rates, improved quality of life) compared with
chemotherapy as treatment of NSCLC with genomic alterations
• Immunotherapy has low efficacy and a high risk of serious adverse events in patients with NSCLC with molecular driver alterations

Which Molecular Testing Techniques Should Be Used for Detection
of Different Molecular Alterations in NSCLC?1
• NCCN guidelines recommend plasma-based testing for all patients with advanced-stage,
treatment-naïve lung cancer for whom tissue sampling may be infeasible or insufficient
• Recent studies found that simultaneously adding plasma ctDNA analysis to tissue testing enhanced the
chances of detecting a relevant actionable mutation
• Based on these findings, it is reasonable to consider plasma-based testing for every patient with
advanced-stage, treatment-naïve lung cancer who has a tissue biopsy
• A new tissue biopsy and/or ctDNA plasma test also needs to occur when patients with genotype-directed
NSCLC develop resistance/disease progression while on targeted TKI therapy

14. Real-World, Patient-Reported Biomarker Data2,a
Why should patients be educated about
the importance of molecular testing and
informed about their results?
Shortcomings exist in current
molecular testing rates as well as
patient awareness about testing
and their testing results
