About Dr. Clinton Yam
My overarching career goal is to reduce mortality and morbidity from triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) by developing new strategies to overcome resistance to standard therapies. Throughout my training and career to date, I have demonstrated a consistent and steadfast commitment to an academic career in patient-oriented and translational cancer research. My expertise and growing reputation in the field of TNBC have been recognized by invitations to speak at local, national, and international meetings, and the receipt of academic awards and peer-reviewed funding. I currently spend approximately 43% of my time on clinical service, 42% on research, 5% on education and mentoring, and 10% on administration and extramural service.
As a clinical investigator, I am committed to providing outstanding clinical care to my patients and advancing the field through cutting edge clinical and translational research. I run a very busy clinical practice and routinely exceed my clinical targets. My dedication to excellence in patient care is evidenced by regular 5 star reviews from patients and encouraging comments which attest to their high levels of satisfaction. Specifically, I was recognized as a Top Performer (Top 10th percentile) nationally based on care experiences related to CAHPS scores in FY22. In line with NCCN guidelines for breast cancer which state that the best management of any patient with cancer is on a clinical trial, I actively offer enrollment on clinical trials to my patients where appropriate. To that end, I was recognized as the top therapeutic trial enroller in the Department of Breast Medical Oncology in FY23 and FY22 and MD Anderson is the #1 enrolling site for all 3 multicenter trials in TNBC that I lead as local PI. Given my specific interest and expertise in TNBC, I am an active physician partner to the Metaplastic Breast Cancer Global Alliance patient advocacy group and have received a large number of consultation requests from members of the group who have been diagnosed with metaplastic breast cancer.
During my time as faculty, I have developed a large portfolio of innovative investigator initiated and industry sponsored trials. Notably, I am the PI of the ARTEMIS trial, a home grown MD Anderson investigator-initiated trial which pioneered a response adapted approach for the treatment of patients with high-risk early stage TNBC. The ARTEMIS trial is the highest enrolling trial in our department (n=914) and has led to >30 multidisciplinary Team Science publications to date, including ones in journals such as Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications, Cancer Research, and Clinical Cancer Research. We have a landmark publication currently under revision with Nature Medicine and several planned submissions to high impact journals. Our team’s work has been highlighted at key national and international meetings and has been a rich source of invited poster discussions and oral presentations for investigators at MD Anderson. Collectively, this trial has led to $12,426,198 in extramural funding including peer-reviewed grants, industry funding for clinical trials, and strategic alliances. Under this framework, I have developed several clinical studies to further optimize the care of patients with TNBC using an individualized treatment approach. I have also leveraged the significant biospecimen resources from this trial to support team science collaborations with outstanding basic science/translational investigators within the institution such as Dr. Nicholas Navin, Dr. Yinyin Yuan, and Dr. Anil Korkut.
As an educator and mentor, I take pride in supporting the growth and development of others around me and my efforts in mentorship have led others to publish original research manuscripts, receive research awards and secure significant research funding. Of note, one of my research mentees, Dr. Oluchi Oke, has received a a $1,000,000 grant from Merck for an investigator-initiated trial and an institutional research grant ($75,000).
In recognition of my expertise in TNBC, I have been invited to present at various national and international fora, serve on advisory boards and steering committees, as well as support scientific journals as an editor and peer reviewer. Within my Department and the institution, I have taken on leadership roles and currently serve as the leader of the TNBC working group (2020-present) and Director for Team Science and Innovation (2023-present) and previously served as the interim co-leader of the Breast Cancer Moon Shot Program (2021-2022).
In summary, my clinical expertise and research experience in TNBC places me in a strong position to lead multidisciplinary research projects in TNBC to achieve research excellence and make unique contributions to the field that will improve outcomes for patients with TNBC.
