- Approximately one third of all lung cancer patients in East Asia are never-smokers and the proportion of lung cancer in never smokers (LCINS) has been increasing gradually over time, according to a publication in Translational Lung Cancer Research (1).
- LCINS are histologically, mutationally, and epidemiologically distinct from smoking-related lung cancers and occur almost exclusively as adenocarcinomas and most commonly in women and individuals of Asian ancestry.
- Dr. Goto will now lead the trial in Japan, where the incidence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in never-smokers is double or more than that of the United States.
- In addition, LP-300 has been administered in multiple clinical trials to more than 1,000 people and has been generally well tolerated.
