What this study is testing
To evaluate the clinical activity (as assessed by objective response rate [ORR]) of specific pembrolizumab-based combinations.
- Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)
A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Has a histologically- or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] v 8) NSCLC and has not had prior systemic therapy for advanced disease
- Has confirmation that epidermal growth factor receptor- (EGFR-), anaplastic lymphoma kinase- (ALK-), c-ros oncogene 1- (ROS1-), or B isoform of rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma- (B-Raf-) directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy (documentation of absence of tumor activating EGFR mutations, B-Raf mutations, ALK gene rearrangements, and ROS1 gene rearrangements)
- Has measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology
- Male participants must agree to use contraception during the treatment period and for ≥120 days, after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period. Male participants with pregnant partners must agree to use a condom
- Female participants eligible to participate if not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or is a WOCBP who agrees to follow contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for ≥120 days after the last dose of study treatment
- Provided archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated
You likely can't join if
- Has significant cardiovascular impairment within 12 months of the first dose of study drug: history of congestive heart failure greater than New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II, unstable angina, myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) stroke, or cardiac arrhythmia associated with hemodynamic instability, significant cardiovascular impairment, or a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below the institutional normal range as determined by multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram
- Has received prior systemic chemotherapy treatment for metastatic/recurrent NSCLC
- Has current NSCLC disease that can be treated with curative intent with surgical resection, localized radiotherapy, or chemoradiation
- Is expected to require any other form of systemic or localized antineoplastic therapy while on study (including maintenance therapy with another agent for NSCLC, radiation therapy, and/or surgical resection)
- Has received prior therapy with an anti–PD-1, anti–PD-L1, or anti–PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T cell receptor
- Has received previous treatment with another agent targeting the Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) receptor
