Overview

Brief Summary

  1. To compare MK-7684A to pembrolizumab alone with respect to OS in participants with PD-L1 TPS ≥50%.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages
18 years to 65+ years (18-64 Years, 65+ Years)
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Yes

Inclusion Criteria

  • Has a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV: M1a, M1b, or M1c non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) per the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual, version
  • Has measurable disease based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1, as determined by the local site assessment.
  • Has confirmation that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-, or reactive oxygen species proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1)-directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy and absence of ALK and ROS1 gene rearrangements.
  • Has provided tumor tissue that demonstrates Programmed Cell Death 1 Ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in ≥1% of tumor cells as assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) at a central laboratory.
  • Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of 0 or 1 assessed within 7 days prior to randomization.
  • Has a life expectancy of at least 3 months.
  • A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: • Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) • Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), with low user dependency or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis), during the intervention period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study intervention
  • Has adequate organ function.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Has a known history of an additional malignancy, except if the participant has undergone potentially curative therapy with no evidence of that disease recurrence for at least 3 years since initiation of that therapy.
  • Investigational vaccines (i.e., those not licensed or approved for Emergency Use) are not allowed.
  • Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.
  • Has known active or untreated CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging, clinically stable, and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention.
  • Has severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to pembrolizumab/vibostolimab or pembrolizumab and/or any of its excipients.
  • Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed.
  • Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention.
  • Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis.
  • Has a known history of interstitial lung disease. Lymphangitic spread of the NSCLC is not exclusionary.
  • Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
