NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for about 85% of cases, and progresses more slowly than other forms of lung cancer.
Hightower Clinical aimed to explore a drug’s potential role as a possible treatment option for advanced NSCLC and other solid tumors.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 85% of cases. It generally progresses more slowly than small cell lung cancer, often develops in the outer regions of the lungs, and includes various subtypes.
Hightower Clinical conducted a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a bispecific antibody in patients with advanced NSCLC and other solid tumors. The goal was to test the drug as monotherapy or in combination with treatments like Osimertinib or chemotherapy.

NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for about 85% of cases, and progresses more slowly than other forms of lung cancer.
Risk factors for NSCLC include smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke, air pollution, and harmful substances like asbestos or radon, as well as a family history of lung cancer.
Complications of NSCLC can include difficulty breathing, chest pain, fatigue, and, if the cancer spreads, issues in other organs like the liver, bones, or brain.
Participating in a study can help contribute to medical research, improve treatment options, and provide access to potential new therapies for managing advanced NSCLC.
