About this trial

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

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

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Progression Free Survival (PFS) in Participants with Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) ≥1%

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.

Time frame
Up to approximately 48 months

Secondary outcomes

1

PFS in All Participants

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.

Time frame
Up to approximately 48 months
2

Overall Survival (OS) in Participants with PD-L1 TPS ≥1%

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to approximately 62 months
3

OS in Participants in All Participants

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to approximately 62 months
4

Overall Response Rate (ORR) in All Participants

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) per RECIST1.1. The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by BICR will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 48 months
