Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug, tusamitamab ravtansine, to see if it is safe and effective when used with other drugs to treat non-small cell lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSQ NSCLC) without certain genetic mutations. Participants should not have had prior systemic chemotherapy for their advanced disease, must have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, and be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1). They need to use contraception and have tumors expressing CEACAM5.
What is being tested?
The study tests Tusamitamab Ravtansine (SAR408701) combined with Pembrolizumab, with or without platinum-based chemotherapy and Pemetrexed. It aims to find the best doses for safety and effectiveness against lung cancer by observing tumor response and monitoring drug levels in the body.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to monoclonal antibodies, immune system complications due to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors like Pembrolizumab, issues from platinum-based chemo such as nausea or nerve damage, and risks associated with Pemetrexed including kidney problems.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Tusamitamab ravtasine + PembrolizumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Pembrolizumab dose will be administered intravenously prior to intravenous administration of tusamitamab ravtansine dose every 3 weeks.
Group II: Tusamitamab ravtansine + Pembrolizumab + carboplatin or cisplatin + pemetrexedExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Pembrolizumab dose will be administered intravenously prior to intravenous adminstration of tusamitamab ravtansine dose every 3 weeks. Pemetrexed will be infused over 10 minutes after tusamitamab ravtansine infusion on Day 1 and then Q3W. Carboplatin will be infused over 15 to 60 minutes immediately after pemetrexed infusion on Day 1 and Q3W for the first 4 cycles. Cisplatin will be infused approximately 30 minutes after pemetrexed infusion after pemetrexed infusion on Day 1 and Q3W for the first 4 cycles.
Group III: Tusamitamab ravtansine + Pembrolizumab + carboplatin or cisplatinExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Pembrolizumab dose will be administered intravenously prior to intravenous adminstration of tusamitamab ravtansine dose every 3 weeks. Carboplatin will be infused over 15 to 60 minutes immediately after tusamitamab ravtansine infusion on Day 1 and Q3W for the first 4 cycles. Cisplatin will be infused approximately 30 minutes after tusamitamab ravtansine infusion on Day 1 and Q3W for the first 4 cycles.
