Clinical Trials and Research
A Single Place...A World of Care

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States. Despite great advances in the understanding of lung cancer biology, only 15% of patients are alive five years after diagnosis. Our research program is designed to understand thoracic cancer biology, discover novel agents, and improve treatment.

Selected Clinical Research Protocols

  • Phase III trial of carboplatin/ gemcitabine followed by immediate or delayed docetaxel for patients with advanced NSCLC
  • A pilot study of early intervention with palliative care in the treatment of patients with advanced lung cancer
  • Phase II study of C225 in patients with advanced lung cancer
  • Phase I/II study of chemotherapy with dose-escalated IMRT for patients with locally advanced NSCLC
  • Phase I study of gefitinib and oral vinorelbine in patients with advanced previously treated NSCLC
  • TARGET - Trial to Assess Response to Gefitinib in EGFR-mutated Tumors
