ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05555732

This clinical trial is testing a new combination of drugs, including datopotamab deruxtecan and pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to see if they are safe and effective for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have not received prior treatment.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new drug combination for patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not been treated before. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either datopotamab deruxtecan with pembrolizumab and platinum chemotherapy, datopotamab deruxtecan with pembrolizumab, or pembrolizumab with pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy. The study will include a screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period.

Description

The main goals of this study are to see how long patients live without their cancer getting worse (Progression Free Survival) and how long they live overall (Overall Survival) when treated with these new drug combinations as a first-line therapy. Participants must have a specific type of lung cancer that does not have certain genetic changes and a PD-L1 score of less than 50%.

Participants will be divided into three groups: one group will receive datopotamab deruxtecan with pembrolizumab and platinum chemotherapy, another group will receive datopotamab deruxtecan with pembrolizumab, and the third group will receive pembrolizumab with pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy. The type of platinum chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin) will be decided by the study doctor. The study will have three phases: a screening phase to check eligibility, a treatment phase where participants receive the study drugs, and a follow-up phase to monitor health outcomes.
