AndroMETa-Lung-536: Testing whether new drug combinations are safe and work well or better than standard treatments for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancerAn Open-label Multi-Cohort Phase 1b/2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Optimal Dose of Telisotuzumab Adizutecan in Combination With a PD-1 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor in Advanced or Metastatic Non-Squamous NSCLC With No Prior Treatment for Advanced Disease and No Actionable Genomic Alterations

Clinical summary

Summary

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide.

You may be eligible for this study if you have non-squamous (NSq) NSCLC that is locally advanced or metastatic. There are different criteria regarding prior treatment history for each stage of the study. Please speak with your doctor about whether you may be eligible.

This study is looking at how safe and effective a new treatment approach is for people with NSCLC. It is testing a medicine called telisotuzumab adizutecan (ABBV-400) when given together with immunotherapy. Telisotuzumab adizutecan (ABBV-400) and budigalimab are new (investigational) drugs that are still being tested.

The study has two stages.

Stage 1 (dose escalation)

  • Participants receive increasing doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan together with budigalimab.
  • This helps researchers find a dose that is safe and likely to work well.

Stage 2 (dose optimisation)
Participants are divided into three treatment groups:

  • Telisotuzumab adizutecan at one dose level + pembrolizumab (immunotherapy)
  • Telisotuzumab adizutecan at another dose level+ pembrolizumab
  • Standard treatment (current usual care), which includes pembrolizumab and chemotherapy

What participation invovles

  • Treatment is given through a drip into a vein (intravenous infusion)
  • The study will last about 33 months
  • You will need to attend regular visits at a hospital or clinic

During the study, doctors will closely monitor your health using:

  • Medical checkups
  • Blood tests
  • Questionnaires
  • Monitoring of any side effects

Being in this study may involve more visits and tests than standard treatment. The goal is to understand how well these new treatments work and how safe they are.

Conditions

This trial is treating people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

Eligibility

Inclusion

  • Must have histologically documented non-squamous (NSq) non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that is locally advanced or metastatic will be enrolled into the study.
  • Must have measurable disease per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
  • For Part 1, participants must have had no more than 1 systemic therapy for advanced disease including platinum-based chemotherapy or an immune checkpoint inhibitor (as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy), or appropriate targeted therapy for an actionable gene alteration, if applicable, for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild-type (WT) NSq NSCLC.
  • For Part 2, participants must have no prior systemic therapy for advanced disease, no known actionable genomic alteration.
  • Must have documented programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) status.
  • For Part 2, participant must have evaluable c-Met immunohistochemistry (IHC) result per central testing prior to randomization.
  • Must have adequate organ function.

Exclusion

  • Known uncontrolled metastases to the central nervous system.
  • History of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that required treatment with systemic steroids, or any evidence of active ILD or pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan.

Inclusion

  • Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or has grown into nearby parts of the body (locally advanced).

Exclusion

  • You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
Message

Clinical trials have complex eligibility criteria, and other criteria may apply for this trial. Ask your doctor about whether this trial could be right for you.
