About this trial

Researchers want to learn if using a study medicine called MK-1084 can help treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). MK-1084 is a type of treatment called targeted therapy for the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) G12C gene change. The goal of this study is to learn about the safety of MK-1084 and to learn how many people have the cancer get smaller or go away during the study treatment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Has histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or metastatic nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Has tumor tissue or circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) that demonstrates the presence of Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) G12C mutations

Can provide an archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core, incisional, excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated

Has recovered to ≤Grade 1 or baseline from any Adverse events (AEs) due to previous anticancer therapies and/or ≤Grade 2 neuropathy and/or endocrine-related AEs adequately treated with hormone replacement

Disqualifiers

Has a diagnosis of small cell lung cancer or, for mixed tumors, presence of small cell elements

Has HIV-infection with a history of Kaposi's sarcoma and/or Multicentric Castleman's Disease

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 clear history of inflammatory bowel disease

Treatments tested in this trial

  • MK-1084

    Drug

    Oral Administration

  • Pembrolizumab

    Biological/Vaccine

    Intravenous administration

  • Cetuximab

    Biological/Vaccine

    Intravenous administration

  • Sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT)

    Biological/Vaccine

    Injection powder for intravenous infusion

  • Rescue medication

    Drug

    Participants receive the following rescue medications, per approved product label, as premedication to study treatment to prevent hypersensitivity and/or infusion reactions: diphenhydramine (or equivalent histamine-1 \[Hl\] receptor antagonist), H2 receptor antagonist, acetaminophen or equivalent, dexamethasone or equivalent infusion, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). A steroid mouthwash (dexamethasone or equivalent) will be given as prophylaxis for stomatitis/oral mucositis.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percentage of Participants with a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

A DLT is defined as the occurrence of protocol-specified toxicities if assessed by the investigator to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to study intervention administration, excluding toxicities clearly not related to the drug.

Time frame
Up to approximately 21 days
2

Percentage of Participants who Experience at Least One Adverse Event (AE)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

Time frame
Up to approximately 84 months
3

Percentage of Participants who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

Time frame
Up to approximately 84 months
4

Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1. The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by BICR will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 84 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Duration of Response (DOR) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR

For participants who demonstrate a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) or death. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. DOR as assessed by BICR will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 84 months
2

Progression Free Survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as assessed by Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as assessed by BICR will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 84 months
3

Overall Survival (OS)

OS, defined as the time from first dose or randomization (depending on study period) to death due to any cause. OS will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 84 months
4

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) for MK-1084

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC of MK-1084.

Time frame
At designated timepoints (up to approximately 44 days)
