Researchers are comparing the effectiveness of two different combinations of immunotherapy drugs with chemotherapy for adults with stage IV or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has PD-L1 expression of 1% or higher. This phase 3, randomized study focuses on participants who have not previously received systemic treatment for advanced disease. The goal is to determine which combination better improves overall survival and other outcomes in this patient group. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Nivolumab plus Relatlimab combined with chemotherapy or Pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy. The chemotherapy drugs used include Carboplatin, Pemetrexed, or Cisplatin, given in specified doses on scheduled days. Treatment is given as first-line therapy for their cancer, with dosing details managed throughout the study period. During the study, participants will undergo imaging scans like CT or MRI to measure disease status, and blood tests to monitor safety and side effects. The main outcome measured is overall survival over up to five years, along with progression-free survival, response rates, duration of response, and adverse events. Researchers will also assess symptoms related to lung cancer over two years. Participants are monitored regularly to track these outcomes and ensure safety throughout the study duration, which may last several years.
