NCT ID:
NCT06045767
Brief Summary:
This is a single site, non-randomized trial for the assessment of intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab (also known as MK-3475) combined with pemetrexed/platinum-based chemotherapy in subjects with advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not previously received systemic therapy for advanced disease and in whom directed therapy is not indicated. Approximately 30 subjects will be enrolled in this trial to examine the clonality and diversity dynamics matched with disease response evaluated by RECIST 1.1.
Detailed Description:
Subjects will receive pembrolizumab 200 mg combined with pemetrexed and platinum (investigator's choice of cisplatin or carboplatin), as indicated below:
Pembrolizumab 200 mg + pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 (with vitamin supplementation) + cisplatin 75 mg/m2 OR carboplatin AUC 5, all on Day 1 every 3 weeks (Q3W) for 4 cycles followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg + pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 Q3W until progression.
Treatment with pembrolizumab and pemetrexed will continue until 35 trial treatments have been administered, documented disease progression or unacceptable adverse event(s).
Patients will be stratified according to clinical and histopathological parameters: 1. PD-L1 status (PD-L1 \>/= 1 or \<1) 2. Age \< 65 vs =\> 65 3. Smoking history yes vs no 4. Platinum chemotherapy: cisplatin vs. carboplatin 5. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs).
TCR repertoire clonality and diversity will serve as an assessment measure for treatment response, along with PET/CT-scans, tumor exomal profile and ctDNA dynamics.
