eVOLVE-Lung02: This study is testing how safe and effective immunotherapy is when given in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancerA Phase III, Two-Arm, Parallel, Randomized, Multi-Center, Open-Label, Global Study to Determine the Efficacy of Volrustomig (MEDI5752) Plus Chemotherapy Versus Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy for First-Line Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (mNSCLC).

Clinical summary

Summary

Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms. 

In Arm 1 (Experimental), participants will receive volrustomig immunotherapy plus histology-specific chemotherapy (carboplatin plus either pemetrexed or paclitaxel) via intravenous (IV) infusion.

In Arm 2 (Active Comparator), participants will receive pembrolizumab immunotherapy plus histology-specific chemotherapy (carboplatin plus either pemetrexed or paclitaxel) via IV infusion.
