Conditions
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT07190248
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

Researchers want to learn if the study medicines MK-1084 and subcutaneous (SC) pembrolizumab can be used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) when given together. MK-1084 is a targeted therapy for the KRAS G12C mutation.

The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive MK-1084 with SC pembrolizumab live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than in people who receive SC pembrolizumab with chemotherapy.

PFS is defined as the time from randomization until either documented disease progression per Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR) will be presented.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Duration of Response (DOR)Up to approximately 48 months

For participants who demonstrate confirmed CR or PR per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, duration of response is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 81 months

An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. The number of participants who experience an AE will be presented.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately 81 months

An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be presented.

Change from Baseline in Cough Score (Item 31) on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Lung Cancer-Specific Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-LC13)Baseline and up to approximately 81 months

The EORTC QLQ-C13 is a lung cancer-specific supplemental questionnaire used in combination with the EORTC QLQ-C30. Participant response to the question "Have you coughed?" is scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). The change from baseline in the score of EORTC QLQ-C13 Item 31 will be presented. A higher score indicates more frequent coughing.

Change from Baseline in Chest Pain Score (Item 40) on the EORTC QLQ-LC13Baseline and up to approximately 81 months

The EORTC QLQ-C13 is lung cancer-specific supplemental questionnaire used in combination with the EORTC QLQ-C30. Participant response to the question "Have you had pain in your chest?" is scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). The change from baseline in the score of EORTC QLQ-C13 Item 40 will be presented. A higher score indicates a worse level of chest pain.

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to the questions "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" are scored on a 7-point scale (1= Very poor to 7=Excellent). Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. The change from baseline in the score of EORTC QLQ-C30 Items 29 and 30 will be presented. Higher scores indicate a better overall health status.

Participant response to the question "Were you short of breath?" is scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). The change from baseline in the score of EORTC QLQ-C30 Item 8 will be presented. A higher score indicates a worse level of dyspnea.

PFS in All ParticipantsUp to approximately 48 months

PFS is defined as the time from randomization until either documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS as determined by BICR will be presented.

TTD is defined as the time from baseline to the first onset of a ≥10-point negative change (decrease) from baseline in global health status (GHS) and quality of life (QoL) (EORTC QLQ-C30 Items 29 and 30) score. Participant responses to the questions "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" are scored on a 7-point scale (1= Very poor to 7=Excellent).
