Clinical Trials

Cancer treatment clinical trials are studies involving

research to fi nd more durable and successful ways

to treat cancer. It is important that people of all ages,

race, ethnicity, and geographical background take

part in research so new information will help guide

future treatment of cancer patients. The National

Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) “Believes the

best management for any cancer patient is in a clinical

trial.” HMH oncologists follow NCCN guidelines in the

treatment of their cancer patients.

HMH started opening clinical trials in 2011. Our

oncologists participate in clinical studies for adults

18 and over that include breast, lung, head and neck,

among others. An important benefi t, HMH off ers

comprehensive cancer care close to home.

HMH’s Cancer Center has accreditation from the

American College of Surgeons’ Commission on

Cancer, and is affi liated with Baptist Health Kentucky,

University of Kentucky, and Kentucky Clinical Trial

Network (KCTN). Trials are off ered from the National

Cancer Institute (NCI), National Clinical Trial Support

Unit (CTSU), and investigator initiated trials from

University of Kentucky.

Cancer treatment clinical trials are studies involving research to fi nd more durable and successful ways to treat cancer.


HMH off ers numerous trials that fi t our patient

population. Of note is one of our current trials,

“Optimization of Smoking Cessation Strategies

Concurrent With Treatment of Tobacco Related

Malignancies (MOST). This Kentucky-based trial focuses

on tobacco related cancer for smokers wanting to stop

smoking. This study analyzes 12 diff erent modalities used

to stop smoking using nicotine replacement therapy

(NRT), or current FDA approved medications designed

for that purpose, along with either high or low intensity

counseling. HMH has consistently remained the top

enroller for this trial for 24 months among nine other

sites in the state.

HMH looks forward to opening an additional trial, the

Kentucky Lung Education Awareness Detection and

Survivorship (LEADS) Trial, in collaboration with University

of Kentucky, University of Louisville, Kentucky Cancer

Consortium, and Lung Cancer Alliance and funded by

a grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation. This trial

is looking to promote provider education, survivorship

care, prevention and early detection regarding lung

cancer.

We look forward to increasing our clinical trial portfolio

with the exciting future and promise of clinical trials, and

in the improved survival and quality of life of our patients.
