However, tumors typically develop resistance to treatment and begin to grow again.</p><p>This award, generously supported by the Brown Family from Atlanta, GA, is dedicated to pioneering research into the underlying mechanisms of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) resistance to immunotherapy, with the goal of developing interventions to eliminate drug resistance and prolong the effectiveness of immunotherapy.</p><p>“Our family experienced the positive impact of immunotherapy. Unfortunately, like so many others, our response was not as lasting as we had hoped,” said Mike Brown. “With this research award, our goal is to support research that will help not only our family but also those who may face resistance to immunotherapy in the future.”</p><p>The recipient of the 2024 Brown/LUNGevity Award to Understand Mechanisms of Resistance to Immunotherapy is:</p><p>Researcher: <strong>Dwight Owen, MD</strong></p><p>Institution: <strong>Ohio State University</strong></p><p>Project: <strong>Targeting Tumor-Associated Macrophages in Immunotherapy-Resistant NSCLC</strong></p><p>Dr. Owen aims to tailor the body’s natural defense mechanisms to improve the effectiveness and duration of immunotherapy treatment. This research team aims to deepen our understanding of the role of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) – immune cells that are thought to promote tumor development and metastasis. The researchers will study hedgehog signaling, an important protein pathway that is likely to be involved in the crosstalk between TAMs, other parts of the immune system, and NSCLC cells. By disrupting hedgehog signaling in TAMs, Dr. Owen and his team aim to create an environment that is less favorable for cancer cell survival, allowing patients' immune systems to effectively combat the disease and overcome drug resistance to immunotherapy in NSCLC.</p><p>“With the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors, the cancer community understood the power of removing obstacles for the patient’s natural immune system,” said Upal Basu Roy, PhD, MPH, executive director of LUNGevity Research. “However, acquired resistance is an issue in a major subset of patients. We are proud to partner with the Brown Family on this award to develop a novel opportunity to prolong the benefits of immunotherapy in NSCLC.”</p><p><strong>About LUNGevity Foundation</strong></p><p>LUNGevity, the nation’s leading lung cancer organization, is transforming what it means to be diagnosed and live with lung cancer.
