For people with advanced lung cancer, clinical trials open up new treatment options and offer access to promising new therapies. At Providence Cancer Institute, 19 studies of novel lung cancer therapies are open to patients now, including this new immunotherapy study for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer:
The study agent, JNJ-61186372, is an antibody that recognizes and binds to two cancer-growth receptors: EGFR and cMet. The hope is that targeting these receptors will help deactivate them and prevent the cancer from growing. The study will help establish the optimal dosing regimen and evaluate responses to the drug. Providence is one of seven centers in the U.S. offering this study.

Multidisciplinary lung cancer management
The Providence Thoracic Oncology Program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to cancer management. Our clinical trials program offers a broad array of innovative clinical research, including studies of new surgical techniques, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy agents, and tissue banking.
Rachel Sanborn, M.D., co-director of the program, is the lead investigator of the featured study. Her research focuses on studying new agents or combinations of treatments for lung cancer, mesothelioma and other thoracic tumors.
