Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 at levels of 1% or higher. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study aims to compare these treatments to improve outcomes for this patient group. Participants will receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab, each given intravenously on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle, combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy either carboplatin or cisplatin also given on Day 1 of each cycle for up to four cycles. After chemotherapy cycles, patients continue with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab monotherapy combined with pemetrexed maintenance. The study follows patients for up to approximately six years to monitor treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size, blood tests to evaluate organ function, and questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life. Researchers monitor overall survival and progression-free survival as primary outcomes, alongside other measures such as response duration and physical functioning. Safety is closely observed throughout, with study visits scheduled regularly during treatment and follow-up periods, lasting up to six years in total.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig combined with platinum-based chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy as a first treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 PD-L1. This Phase III global study focuses on patients with PD-L1 tumor cell expression of 1% or higher and aims to determine which treatment provides better overall and progression-free survival. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study groups one group will receive rilvegostomig plus carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy, while the other group will receive pembrolizumab plus the same chemotherapy options. Rilvegostomig and pembrolizumab are both given intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, with chemotherapy given up to 4 cycles. Nab-paclitaxel may be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Treatment continues with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab until disease progression or other criteria are met. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, laboratory tests to monitor organ function, and patient questionnaires about physical function and quality of life. Researchers will track overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and duration of response for up to approximately 6 years. Safety and immune response to rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of combining tarlatamab with durvalumab, carboplatin, and etoposide compared to the combination of durvalumab, carboplatin, and etoposide alone in treating patients with untreated extensive stage small-cell lung cancer ES-SCLC. The main goal is to see if the addition of tarlatamab can help patients live longer overall. This is a phase 3, open-label, randomized study conducted across multiple centers. Participants are assigned to one of two groups. One group receives tarlatamab combined with durvalumab, carboplatin, and etoposide for four treatment cycles, followed by maintenance treatment with tarlatamab and durvalumab. The other group receives durvalumab, carboplatin, and etoposide for four cycles, followed by durvalumab alone. All drugs are given as intravenous infusions. The study lasts up to approximately 3.5 to 4 years to assess survival and disease progression. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including evaluations of overall survival and progression-free survival. Other measures include response to treatment, disease control, duration of response, and monitoring for treatment-related adverse events. Blood tests will evaluate drug levels and antibody development. The research team will carefully monitor participants throughout the treatment and follow-up periods, keeping track of their health and any side effects.

Researchers are comparing two treatment combinations for adults with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that have a specific KRAS p.G12C mutation and are negative for PD-L1 expression. The study aims to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival between participants receiving sotorasib with platinum doublet chemotherapy and those receiving pembrolizumab with platinum doublet chemotherapy. This phase 3, randomized, open-label trial is led by Amgen and includes participants with stage IV or advanced stage IIIBC NSCLC. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sotorasib orally combined with carboplatin and pemetrexed, or pembrolizumab intravenously combined with the same chemotherapy drugs. These treatments are given as front-line therapy. The study includes a treatment period with these drug combinations and monitoring for outcomes such as response rates and quality of life over several years. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed through various measures including survival status, tumor response, and quality-of-life questionnaires focusing on lung cancer symptoms. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory tests. Treatment concentrations of sotorasib will also be measured up to 64 days after starting. The total study duration includes follow-up for up to approximately 5.5 years to fully evaluate treatment effects and outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of divarasib and pembrolizumab compared with pembrolizumab combined with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin. This study focuses on adults with previously untreated, advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to assess these treatments as first-line options in this specific lung cancer population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will take divarasib orally once daily and receive pembrolizumab through an intravenous infusion every three weeks. The other group will receive pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and either carboplatin or cisplatin via intravenous infusions every three weeks. Treatment continues with these schedules, following the study protocol for up to approximately five years of follow-up. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor their health and response to treatment. These include imaging and clinical evaluations to measure progression-free survival and overall survival for up to five years. Researchers will also track quality of life, symptom changes, treatment side effects, and adverse events using questionnaires and patient-reported outcomes. Safety monitoring and detailed evaluations will help understand the effects of the treatments over the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of amivantamab combined with either lazertinib or platinum-based chemotherapy in treating participants who have epidermal growth factor receptor mutated EGFRm non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. This study focuses on advanced or metastatic NSCLC cases where standard curative treatments are not suitable. It aims to assess the antitumor activity of these treatment combinations in this patient population. Participants receive either amivantamab with oral lazertinib in 28-day cycles or amivantamab with intravenous chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin and pemetrexed in 21-day cycles. Treatment continues until disease progression, participant withdrawal, death, or investigator decision to stop treatment. The study is designed with two separate groups receiving these distinct treatment combinations. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments to monitor treatment effects and safety. Researchers will measure progression-free survival as the primary outcome up to 4 years and 6 months, along with secondary outcomes including dose adjustments, adverse events, overall survival, response rates, and duration of response. Participants are followed regularly during treatment to track these outcomes and manage any side effects until the studys completion.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining osimertinib tablets with Datopotamab Deruxtecan intravenous infusion compared to using osimertinib tablets alone as a first treatment for participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has specific EGFR mutations Ex19del andor L858R. This global Phase III, open-label, randomized study targets participants who have not yet received treatment for advanced disease and aims to assess how well this combination works and how safe it is over an estimated 8-year event-driven study duration. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one will receive osimertinib 80 mg orally once daily combined with Datopotamab Deruxtecan 6 mgkg by intravenous infusion every three weeks, while the other will receive osimertinib 80 mg orally once daily alone. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or other reasons for stopping. During treatment, visits occur every three weeks. For those receiving osimertinib alone or who stop Datopotamab Deruxtecan but remain on osimertinib, visits become every six weeks from cycle 7 to cycle 17 and then every twelve weeks until disease progression or stopping treatment. Participants will undergo regular assessments including scans and tests to monitor disease status and treatment effects as per the study schedule. Researchers will measure progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and other outcomes related to the cancer and treatment effects. Safety and drug levels will also be monitored. Participants can expect frequent visits and evaluations throughout the study, lasting up to about eight years or until specific stopping criteria are met.
