Summary

This trial is testing a new drug called tobemstomig combined with chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer patients who can't have surgery or standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the current standard treatment.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who haven't had treatment yet. They should have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, no HIV or hepatitis, good heart function, and be generally well enough to perform daily activities with ease (ECOG status 0-1). People can't join if they've had certain other cancers recently, autoimmune diseases, organ transplants, severe infections or allergies related to the treatments being tested.

What is being tested?

The study compares Tobemstomig combined with platinum-based chemotherapy against Pembrolizumab with the same chemo in patients with untreated NSCLC. It aims to see which combination works better and is safer while also checking how the body processes these drugs.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include allergic reactions to medication components, immune system-related issues like inflammation in various organs due to checkpoint inhibitors like Pembrolizumab and Tobemstomig. Chemotherapy may cause nausea, fatigue, hair loss and increased risk of infection.

Active Control

Group I: Arm A: Tobemstomig + Platinum-Based ChemotherapyExperimental Treatment4 Interventions

Participants with non-squamous (NSQ) NSCLC will receive induction treatment with blinded tobemstomig in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin, all on Day 1 every 3 weeks (Q3W) for four 21-day cycles, followed by Q3W maintenance therapy with blinded tobemstomig together with pemetrexed until disease progression or treatment discontinuation. Participants with squamous (SQ) NSCLC will receive blinded tobemstomig in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin, all on Day 1 Q3W for four 21 day cycles, followed by blinded tobemstomig (on Day 1) Q3W until disease progression or treatment discontinuation.

Group II: Arm B: Pembrolizumab + Platinum-Based ChemotherapyActive Control4 Interventions

Participants with NSQ NSCLC will receive induction treatment with blinded pembrolizumab in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin, all on Day 1 Q3W for four 21-day cycles, followed by a maintenance therapy with blinded pembrolizumab together with pemetrexed Q3W until disease progression or treatment discontinuation. Participants with SQ NSCLC will receive blinded pembrolizumab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin, all on Day 1 Q3W for four 21-day cycles, followed by blinded pembrolizumab (on Day 1) Q3W until disease progression or treatment discontinuation.
