New treatment option for Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung
Official title A Study of Investigational Agents in Participants With Previously Treated Stage IV Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01H/KEYMAKER-U01)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06780085
What this study is testing
What is Raludotatug Deruxtecan?
Raludotatug Deruxtecan is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for carcinoma, non-small-cell lung.
Also referred to as R-DXd, MK-5909.
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
- Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has been treated before. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
