Goals of Lung-MAP
The purpose of Lung-MAP is to learn if drugs that target the genetic changes in the cancer cells will slow or stop non-small cell lung cancer from growing.
For the non-match group, researchers want to assess the effects of immunotherapy drug combinations.
Trial Collaborators
The trial is being conducted by NCI’s National Clinical Trials Network, led by the SWOG Cancer Research Network, and partly funded by NCI through its Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program. Other organizations taking part in this unique public-private collaboration include Friends of Cancer Research, the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), five pharmaceutical companies (Amgen, Genentech, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and AstraZeneca’s global biologics R&D arm, MedImmune), and Foundation Medicine.
More Information about Lung-MAP is available in the protocol summary.
