Study Overview

Brief Summary

  1. To estimate the incidence of pCR in the resected primary tumor and lymph nodes assessed by BIPR following administration of investigational agents with various combinations of chemotherapy and pembrolizumab.
  2. To estimate the extent of residual viable tumor in the resected lung tumor/lymph node sections in relation to the total carcinoma area assessed by BIPR.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages
18 years to 65+ years (18-64 Years, 65+ Years)
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
No

Inclusion Criteria

  • Has previously untreated resectable Stage II, IIIA, or IIIB (N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), confirmed by pathology or imaging
  • Able to undergo protocol therapy, including necessary surgery
  • Confirmation that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) -directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy
  • Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of either 0 or 1 as assessed within 10 days before initiation of study intervention.
  • Is able to provide archival or newly obtained core/excisional biopsy of the primary lung tumor or lymph node metastasis.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Has one of the following tumor locations/types: NSCLC involving the superior sulcus, large-cell neuro-endocrine cancer, mixed tumors containing small cell and non-small cell elements, or sarcomatoid tumor.
  • Severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to pembrolizumab and/or any of its excipients.
  • Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years. Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid) is allowed.
  • History of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease
  • Active infection requiring systemic therapy.
  • Hepatitis B (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive) or Hepatitis C virus (defined as detectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) [qualitative]) infection.
  • Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • History of allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant
  • Has Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy
  • Has history of documented severe dry eye syndrome, severe Meibomian gland disease and/or blepharitis, or severe corneal disease that prevents/delays corneal healing.
  • Has active inflammatory bowel disease requiring immunosuppressive medication or previous history of inflammatory bowel disease (eg, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic diarrhea).
  • Has uncontrolled, significant cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease.
  • Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention
  • Received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention, or radiation related toxicities, requiring corticosteroids.
  • 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.
  • Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 5 years.
