She pioneered biomarker-driven umbrella trials in Korea, and her group runs molecularly stratified trials in gastric and other gastrointestinal cancers, including the VIKTORY umbrella trial. She has been an investigator on gastric cancer studies of zolbetuximab, which targets Claudin 18.2, of the HER2-directed antibody zanidatamab, and of pembrolizumab, helping to bring these agents to Asian patients. Her publications include the VIKTORY report on using tumour genomic profiling to guide patients with metastatic gastric cancer to targeted treatment.","asOf":"2026-09-08","links":[{"label":"Samsung Medical Center","url":"https://www.samsunghospital.com/gb/"},{"label":"PubMed author search","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Lee%20J%5BAuthor%5D%20Samsung%20Medical%20Center%20gastric%20cancer"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":["gastric"],"sections":[],"technologies":["cgp"],"targets":["her2","cldn18-2"],"drugs":["zolbetuximab","zanidatamab"],"companies":[],"institutions":["samsung-medical-center"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"role":"Professor of Medical Oncology; gastrointestinal cancer and precision oncology","institutionId":"samsung-medical-center","specialisms":["Gastric cancer","Precision oncology","Molecular profiling","Clinical trials"],"profiles":[{"label":"Samsung Medical Center","url":"https://www.samsunghospital.com/gb/"},{"label":"PubMed author search","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Lee%20J%5BAuthor%5D%20Samsung%20Medical%20Center%20gastric%20cancer"}],"papers":[{"title":"Tumor genomic profiling guides patients with metastatic gastric cancer to targeted treatment: the VIKTORY umbrella trial","journal":"Cancer Discovery","year":2019,"doi":"10.1158/2159-8290.CD-19-0442"}]},"route":"/people/lee-jeeyun/","neighbours":{"cancer":[{"id":"gastric","kind":"cancer","name":"Gastric & gastro-oesophageal junction cancer","route":"/cancers/gastric/"}],"technology":[{"id":"cgp","kind":"technology","name":"Comprehensive genomic profiling","route":"/technologies/cgp/"}],"target":[{"id":"cldn18-2","kind":"target","name":"Claudin 18.2","route":"/targets/cldn18-2/"},{"id":"her2","kind":"target","name":"HER2","route":"/targets/her2/"}],"drug":[{"id":"zanidatamab","kind":"drug","name":"Zanidatamab","route":"/drugs/zanidatamab/"},{"id":"zolbetuximab","kind":"drug","name":"Zolbetuximab","route":"/drugs/zolbetuximab/"}],"institution":[{"id":"samsung-medical-center","kind":"institution","name":"Samsung Medical Center","route":"/institutions/samsung-medical-center/"}]}}
