We’re committed to our mission of finding new treatments that may help improve the lives of people with lung cancer. Our clinical trials research investigational medications alone or in combination with other study medications.
Lung cancer occurs when cells inside the lung grow abnormally. As more abnormal cells grow, they start to form a tumor and may spread to other areas in the body. There are two main types of lung cancer:

  • Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC)Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)A type of lung cancer where the cancer cells look larger . This cancer starts in the lining of the lungs and grows slower than small cell lung cancer. accounts for 80% to 85 % of all lung cancers.
  • Small cell lung cancer (SCLC)Small cell lung cancerOne of the two major types of lung cancer that can affect mainly smokers and spreads quickly in the lungs and often spreads to other parts of the body accounts for 10% to 15 % of all lung cancers.1

Depending on the stage of your cancer and other factors, treatment options may include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or palliative care.

Small cell lung cancer trials (SCLC)

Through our clinical trials, we’re studying ways to help treat SCLC.

Non-small cell lung cancer trials (NSCLC)

Clinical trials are an important step as we look to test investigational medications for NSCLC.

There is a lot to consider when deciding whether to participate in a clinical trial. Any clinical trial includes risks, which the study doctor will review with you. Make sure you understand the risks before participating.
