Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of a new cancer drug, datopotamab deruxtecan, when used with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who haven't had previous systemic treatments. Participants must have high PD-L1 expression, good physical condition, adequate bone marrow function, and no significant heart issues. They should not have certain infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV, severe eye diseases, recent vaccines, autoimmune diseases, other cancers within a set time frame, or untreated brain metastases.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Dato-DXd combined with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in treating NSCLC without specific genetic changes. It aims to determine which treatment works better for this type of lung cancer by randomly assigning participants to one of the two groups.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs and infusion-related reactions. There may also be fatigue, blood disorders that affect how your body fights infection or clots bloods cells together after an injury.
