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 early stage or advanced/ metastatic solid tumor by pathology report and meet the following conditions based on tumor type: • Surgically resected Stage IIB and IIC (pathological or clinical), or III cutaneous melanoma per American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) eighth edition. • Surgically resected renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with intermediate-high or high risk of recurrence as defined by the Fuhrman grading status. • Stage IV non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) per AJCC eight edition, with an anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥50% determined using the Dako PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) 22C3 pharmDx diagnostic kit, and confirmation that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR-), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK-), or c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1)-directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy.
- Has a life expectancy of at least 3 months.
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants must have well controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART).
- Participants who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive are eligible if they have received hepatitis B virus (HBV) antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks, and have undetectable HBV viral load before randomization.
- Participants with history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are eligible if have completed curative antiviral therapy at least 4 weeks before randomization and HCV viral load is undetectable at screening.
- Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1 assessed within 3 days before the start of study intervention
You likely can't join if
- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) participants with a diagnosis of small cell lung cancer or, for mixed tumors, presence of small cell elements
- Received prior systemic anticancer therapy for their metastatic NSCLC. Note: Prior treatment with neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy for nonmetastatic NSCLC is allowed as long as therapy was completed at least 12 months before diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC.
- Received radiation therapy to the lung that is >30 Gray within 6 months of start of study intervention.
- Has received an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to study intervention administration
- Has diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior the first dose of study medication
- Has known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years
