Ended Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) Cancer

Tusamitamab ravtansine (SAR408701) in combination with pembrolizumab and tusamitamab ravtansine (SAR408701) in combination with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy with or without pemetrexed in patients with NSQ NSCLC (CARMEN-LC05)

EU CTIS ID: 2023-509115-84-00

What this study is testing

Safety run-in part: to assess the tolerability and to determine the recommended doses of tusamitamab ravtansine in combination with pembrolizumab and tusamitamab ravtansine in combination with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy with or without pemetrexed to be tested in the expansion part of the study in the NSQ NSCLC population. Expansion part (including participants treated at the recommended dose for expansion [RDE] from the Safety Run-in part): to assess the antitumor activity of several dose levels (DLs; if applicable) of tusamitamab ravtansine in combination with pembrolizumab and of several DLs of tusamitamab ravtansine in combination with pembrolizumab, platinum-based chemotherapy, and pemetrexed in the NSQ NSCLC population

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Histologically- or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of advanced or metastatic NSQ NSCLC with no EGFR sensitizing mutation or BRAF mutation or ALK/ROS alterations.
  • No prior systemic chemotherapy for the treatment of the participant's advanced or metastatic disease (treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation as part of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy is allowed as long as completed at least 6 months prior to diagnosis of advanced or metastatic disease).
  • Expression of CEACAM5 as demonstrated prospectively by a centrally assessed IHC assay of ≥2+ in intensity involving at least 1% of the tumor cell population in archival tumor sample (or if not available fresh biopsy sample).
  • Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
  • Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies

You likely can't join if

  • Medical condition requiring concomitant administration of a medication with a strong CYP3A inhibitor.
  • Washout period before the first administration of study intervention of less than 3 weeks or less than 5 times the half-life, whichever is shorter, for any investigational treatment).
  • Any prior therapy targeting CEACAM5.
  • Uncontrolled brain metastases and history of leptomeningeal disease.
  • Any prior treatment with any other anti-PD-1, or PD-L1 or programmed death ligand 2 (PD-L2), anti-CD137, or anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4.
  • Any prior maytansinoid treatment (DM1 or DM4 ADC).
