touchSATELLITE SYMPOSIUM PD-1 inhibitors on the horizon for NSCLC: Current knowledge, future possibilities

Watch the footage from our Satellite Symposium at the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020, exploring novel PD-1 inhibitors on the horizon for NSCLC.

Prof. Tony Mok and Prof. Giorgio Scagliotti

Co-Chairs

Panelists:
Prof. Anne-Marie Dingemans and Dr Raffaele Califano
Watch Time: 18:13

Prof. Tony Mok welcomes you to this ESMO Virtual Congress 2020 Satellite Symposium exploring PD-1 inhibitors on the horizon in NSCLC. After walking us through the agenda, Prof. Mok provides an update on the current status of immunotherapy regimens incorporating PD-1 blockade in NSCLC, contextualizing the clinical value of PD-L1 expression thresholds and appraising potential implications for single-agent and combination treatment strategies.

 
Watch Time: 12:25

Dr Raffaele Califano provides a mechanistic overview of the ‘new wave’ of PD-1 inhibitors now emerging in the immunotherapy landscape. Summarizing key preclinical and early phase data, Dr Califano reflects on the safety and efficacy of these new agents in light of their structural and mechanistic differences.

 
Watch Time: 20:39

Prof. Anne-Marie Dingemans talks us through recently published safety and efficacy data from Phase II/III studies investigating this ‘new wave’ of PD-1 inhibitors in advanced lung cancer. Reflecting on these latest clinical trial results, Prof. Dingemans explores the potential impact of these new agents on the NSCLC treatment paradigm.

 
Watch Time: 12:48

Profs. Tony Mok and Anne-Marie Dingemans engage in a lively and informative case study discussion, sharing their experiences from clinical practice and evaluating the rationale for clinical decision-making relating to treatment selection with immunotherapies. The professors also touch upon the recent implications of COVID-19 for clinical management of patients with NSCLC.

 
Watch Time: 29:27

Prof. Giorgio Scagliotti draws upon existing clinical understanding and emerging scientific concepts in cancer immunotherapy to assess what tools are needed to further optimize PD-1 blockade in NSCLC. Characterization of the complex network of relevant biomarkers and robust definitions of hyper-progressive disease are explored as key unmet needs still to be addressed. After summarizing the key themes from this ESMO Virtual Congress 2020 Satellite Symposium, Prof. Scagliotti thanks his fellow presenting faculty before closing the meeting.

 
Watch Time: 29:59

Following on from this engaging Satellite Symposium, Prof. Tony Mok and Prof. Scagliotti co-chair an informative Q&A session with panelists Dr Raffaele Califano and Prof. Anne-Marie Dingemans. Our panel of expert faculty appraise the very latest data surrounding immunotherapy in NSCLC presented at the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020, and explore potential  implications for future clinical practice and patient management.

Overview & Learning Objectives
Overview

In this activity, Professors Tony Mok and Giorgio Scagliotti co-chair an informative Satellite Symposium at the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020 (19–21 September 2020) exploring recent developments in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment strategies incorporating  programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) blockade. This includes a discussion with Dr Raffaele Califano and Professor Anne-Marie Dingemans, appraising the latest data on new and emerging PD-1 inhibitors and contextualising their potential impact on the immunotherapy landscape for NSCLC.

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, including lung cancer specialists, involved in the clinical management of patients with NSCLC.

Learning Objectives

After watching this activity participants should be better able to:

  • Review the latest clinical and pre-clinical data for anti-PD-1 agents in NSCLC
  • Discuss how current and emerging anti-PD-1 agents may be incorporated into the treatment landscape for NSCLC
  • Summarize how to identify the patients most suitable for anti-PD-1 blockade
