Speciality: Oncology


Speaker:

Dr. Todd M. Bauer | MD, Medical Oncology, Adult Malignancy Specialist Franklin Clinic

Description:

A warm welcome to all the medical professionals in this pivotal session on understanding the recent data analysis for first-line treatment of ALK-positive NSCLC. The frontline management of ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been profoundly transformed by the advent of highly potent ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Recent data continue to reinforce the superiority of next-generation ALK TKIs over older generations and chemotherapy, demonstrating significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and better control of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. This consistent efficacy, coupled with manageable safety profiles, underscores the continued evolution of optimal initial treatment strategies.

The ongoing analysis of long-term outcomes and real-world data is providing crucial insights into the sustained benefits and durability of these targeted therapies. Particularly, studies like the CROWN trial with agents such as lorlatinib have shown unprecedented PFS rates at extended follow-ups, setting new benchmarks for treatment expectations in this patient population. These analyses also highlight the importance of understanding the specific toxicity profiles of different ALK TKIs to optimize patient management and maintain quality of life.

Therefore, gain an overall knowledge of the most recent and impactful data shaping the best practices in the first-line treatment of ALK-positive NSCLC. Listen to this webinar, presented by Dr. Todd M. Bauer, absorb the critical insights from the latest data analysis, and follow Hidoc for more such indispensable webinar sessions.
