Clinical Transfers®: Optimizing Frontline Immunotherapy for High PD-L1 Expressers with NSCLC

Program Overview

The landscape of precision medicine for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is continually evolving with an ever-expanding armamentarium of regimens targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. In this activity, Roy S. Herbst, MD, PhD and Sarah B. Goldberg, MD, MPH, share the latest data for current and emerging checkpoint inhibitor monotherapies in advanced NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression and provide expert guidance on optimizing frontline treatment selection.
