Clinical summary

Summary

Eligible participants will be randomised to receive Pemetrexed and Carboplatin (chemotherapy) alone or in addition to Amivantamab. In Arm A and B, participants will receive 500 milligram per meter square (mg/m^2) intravenous (IV) pemetrexed on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, in combination with carboplatin for up to 4 cycles, and then as maintenance monotherapy until disease progression. In addition to receiving chemotherapy treatment, participants in Arm A will also receive 1400mg IV amivantamab once weekly up to Cycle 2 Day 1, then 1750 mg IV amivantamab on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, starting with Cycle 3. Participants in Arm B will receive chemotherapy alone.
