Tests treatment safety and results for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
Official title A Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Pembrolizumab With or Without Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK- 2870) in Adult Participants With Resectable Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Not Achieving Pathological Complete Response (pCR) (MK-2870-019)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06312137
What this study is testing
What is Sacituzumab tirumotecan?
Sacituzumab tirumotecan is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for non small cell lung cancer.
Also referred to as MK-2870, sac-TMT.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study will assess if adding sacituzumab tirumotecan with pembrolizumab after surgery is effective in treating NSCLC for participants not achieving pathological complete response. The primary hypothesis of this study is sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab is superior to pembrolizumab monotherapy with respect to disease free survival (DFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- This is a blinded study.
