Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Ability to comprehend and willingness to sign a written ICF for the study.
- Has adequate organ function as indicated by the laboratory values in Table 7. Specimens must be collected and reviewed within 10 days prior to the start of study treatment.
- Has had an evaluation by the investigator regarding vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 before study entry. Note: Vaccination before study entry is a strong recommendation, not a requirement. Potential participants and the investigator should discuss up-to-date information according to national or local vaccination programs and/or oncology professional guidelines.
- Is at least 18 years of age on the day of signing the ICF (or as applicable per local country requirements)
- Has histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC (either nonsquamous or squamous) that is Stage IV (AJCC v8). a. Documentation for absence of driver mutations or gene rearrangements for EGFR, ALK, BRAF, and ROS1 if the tumor is of nonsquamous histology. Note: If documentation does not exist for all 4 driver mutations, then archived or fresh tumor tissue material must be tested locally, or centrally arranged by the sponsor. Detailed information is found in the Laboratory Manual. b. If participant's tumor is known to have a predominantly squamous histology, molecular testing for EGFR mutation, ALK, BRAF, and ROS1 translocations will not be required, as this is not part of current diagnostic guidelines. c. Tumor with mixed histology will be categorized by the predominant cell type; if small cell elements are present, the participant is ineligible. In cases where it is not completely known, testing must occur.
- No prior systemic treatment for the advanced/metastatic NSCLC with the exception of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy that did not include a PD-(L)1 directed therapy and completed at least 12 months before the development of metastatic disease. Note: Only participants without access (due to inadequate reimbursement, labelling restrictions, or any other reason) to the best standard treatment options (eg, an approved PD-(L)1 inhibitor in combination with chemotherapy or monotherapy) that, according to the investigator, could benefit the participant more can be included in the study. If the best approved and reimbursed standard treatment options become available during the study, the participant may discontinue from study treatment if the investigator and the participant believe that the participant could benefit more by switching to the approved and reimbursed standard treatment.
You likely can't join if
- Is currently participating and receiving investigational therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment.
- Has symptomatic ascites or pleural effusion. A participant who is clinically stable following treatment for these conditions is eligible
- Has known active HBV or HCV as defined in protocol
- Has a known history of HIV infection. HIV testing is not required unless mandated by the local health authority, or local regulations
- Has a known history of an additional malignancy, except if the participant has undergone potentially curative therapy with no evidence of that disease recurrence for 3 years since initiation of that therapy
- Has had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant

- Able to provide a formalin-fixed archival tumor tissue sample during screening, or a fresh tumor biopsy after a participant has been diagnosed with metastatic disease, for central confirmation of PD-L1 status. Note: Biopsy should be from a tumor site that has not been treated with radiation. Formalin-fixed archival specimens after the participant has been diagnosed with metastatic disease will be preferred for determination of PD-L1 status (and driver mutations if needed) prior to randomization
- Has measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 as determined by local site investigator/radiology assessment. Target lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
- Has an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 at study entry
- Has a life expectancy of at least 3 months before signing the ICF
- Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children based on the criteria below: a. Men must agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering children (with at least 99% certainty) from screening through 180 days after the last dose of chemotherapy and 120 days after the last dose of INCMGA00012 and must refrain from donating sperm during this period. Permitted methods that are at least 99% effective in preventing pregnancy (see Appendix A) should be communicated to the participants and their understanding confirmed. b. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies: − Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening (within 72 hours of the first dose on Day 1). Women of childbearing potential must agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid pregnancy (with at least 99% certainty) from screening through 180 days after the last dose of chemotherapeutic agents and for at least 120 days after the last dose of INCMGA00012. Permitted methods that are at least 99% effective in preventing pregnancy (see Appendix A) should be communicated to the participants and their understanding confirmed. − Women of nonchildbearing potential (see Appendix A for definitions) are eligible.
