Dwight Owen

Dr. Owen is a clinical investigator focusing on novel therapeutic interventions for patients with thoracic malignancies. Dr. Owen designed and opened several early phase clinical trials as investigator-initiated studies, ranging from single-site phase I studies to national NCI-CTEP phase I/II trials. Dr. Owen has been collaborating with translational research teams to develop and conduct a phase I study in patients with NSCLC targeting the adenosine pathway with an oral immunotherapy titled “PBF-1129 in patients with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)” (NCT03274479). Dr. Owen has worked to better understand the unique toxicities that occur in patients treated with immunotherapies and strategies to predict and mitigate these toxicities.
