| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
| 1. To estimate the objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) |
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To estimate Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST 1.1
2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of investigational treatment combinations based on proportion of adverse events |
|
| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Participant has histologically- or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV (M1a, M1b, or M1c per current AJCC criteria) squamous or nonsquamous NSCLC
2. Participant with nonsquamous NSCLC who is not eligible for an approved targeted therapy
3. Have confirmation that EGFR-, ALK-, or ROS1-directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy (documentation of absence of tumor activating EGFR AND absence of ALK or ROS1 gene rearrangements). If participant’s tumor is known to have a predominantly squamous histology, molecular testing for EGFR mutation and ALK and ROS1 translocations will not be required, as this is not part of current diagnostic guidelines
4. Participant has measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology assessment. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions
5.Participant is able to provide archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated. FFPE tissue blocks are preferred to slides. Newly obtained biopsies are preferred to archived tissue. Biopsies obtained prior to receipt of adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be permitted if recent biopsy is not feasible
6. Participant has not received prior systemic treatment for their metastatic NSCLC. Participants who received adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy are eligible if the adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy was completed at least 12 months prior to the development of metastatic disease
7. Participant is Male or Female who is at least 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
8. Participant has an ECOG performance status of either 0 or 1 as assessed within 7 days prior to initiation of study intervention
9. Participant is able to complete all screening procedures within the 28-day screening window. A participant may be rescreened following sponsor consultation
10. Participant has adequate organ function; all screening laboratory tests should be performed within 10 days of initiation of study intervention
11. A male participant must agree to use contraception and should refrain from donating sperm for at least 120 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab and for at least 180 days after the last dose of chemotherapy
12. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies:
a. Not a WOCBP
OR
b. A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period for at least 120 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab and for at least 180 days after the last dose of chemotherapy
13. The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent/assent for the study. The participant may also provide consent/assent for Future Biomedical Research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in Future Biomedical Research |
|
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Has a diagnosis of small cell lung cancer. For mixed tumors, if small cell elements are present, the patient is ineligible
2. 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 drug. Participants with asthma that require intermittent use of bronchodilators, inhaled steroids, or local steroid injections would not be excluded from the study
3. Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 2 years
4. Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable for at least 2 weeks by repeat imaging, clinically stable, and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention
5. Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years. Replacement therapy is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed
6. Has a history of pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis. Lymphangitic spread of the NSCLC is not exclusionary
7. Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy
8. Has clinically significant cardiac disease, including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction within 6 months from Day 1 of study drug administration, or New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure. Medically controlled arrhythmia stable on medication is permitted
9. Has a known history of HIV infection
10. Has a known history of Hepatitis B or known active Hepatitis C virus infection
11. Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperating with the requirements of the study
12. Has had major surgery (<3 weeks prior to first dose)
13. Is expected to require any other form of antineoplastic therapy while on study
14. Has symptomatic ascites or pleural effusion (if receiving pemetrexed). A participant who is clinically stable following treatment for these conditions is eligible
15. Has a history or current evidence of a GI condition or impaired liver function or diseases that in the opinion of the investigator may significantly alter the absorption or metabolism of oral medications; or any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the participant’s participation for the full duration of the study, make administration of the study drugs hazardous, or make it difficult to monitor adverse effects such that it is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator (if receiving pemetrexed)
16. Is getting chemotherapy and has clinically active diverticulitis, intra-abdominal abscess, GI obstruction, or peritoneal carcinomatosis
17. Has pre-existing neuropathy that is ≥Grade 2 by CTCAE version 5.0
18. Has received prior radiation therapy to the lung that is >30 Gy within 6 months of the first dose of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiationrelated toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation
19. Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study intervention
20. Has received any prior immunotherapy and was discontinued from that treatment due to a Grade 3 or higher irAE
21. Has received prior systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy or other targeted or biological antineoplastic therapy for metastatic disease
22. Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or prior therapy targeting other immuno-regulatory receptors or mechanisms
23. Participant is currently receiving either strong or moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 or CYP2C8 that cannot be discontinued for the duration of the study. The required washout period prior to starting study intervention is 2 weeks
24. Participant is currently receiving strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A4 or CYP2C8 that cannot be discontinued for the duration of the study. The required washout period prior to starting intervention is 3 weeks
25. Participant is unable to interrupt aspirin or other NSAIDs, other than aspirin dose less than or equal to 1.3 gm/day for a 5-day period, for participants who will receive pemetrexed
26. Participant is unable or unwilling to take folic acid or vitamin B12 supplementation, for participants who will receive pemetrexed
27. Participant has a known sensitivity to any component of carboplatin, paclitaxel, pemetrexed or any of their excipients
