Brief description of study

This study is referred to as the "umbrella master protocol" for pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This pembrolizumab NSCLC umbrella master protocol uses a platform design and consists of this master screening study and additional substudies. Each substudy will enroll a different population of NSCLC participants.

Detailed description of study

The following pembrolizumab substudies will evaluate the efficacy of different investigational agents in combination with pembrolizumab given in sequence or in combination with pembrolizumab PLUS chemotherapy:

  • KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01A: A Phase 1/2, Umbrella Study With Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents, With Pembrolizumab With or Without Chemotherapy in Treatment-Naive Participants With Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01A) - NCT04165070
  • KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 2: A Phase 2, Umbrella Study with Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Treatment Naïve Patients with PD-L1 Positive Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01B) - NCT04165083
  • KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 3: A Phase 2, Umbrella Study with Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Previously Treated with anti-PD-(L)1 Therapy (MK-3475-01C) - NCT04165096
  • KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01E: A Phase 2 Umbrella Study With Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents With or Without Chemotherapy in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Treatment of Participants With Newly Diagnosed Resectable Stages II-IIIB (N2) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01E) - NCT06788912
  • KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01F: A Phase 1b/2 Umbrella Study With Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents for Second-line Treatment of Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With KRAS G12C Mutations (MK-3475-01F) - NCT number pending
  • KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01G: A Phase 2, Umbrella Study With Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents in Combination With Pembrolizumab With or Without Platinum-based Chemotherapy in Treatment-Naïve Participants With Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01G) - NCT06731907
  • KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01H: A Phase 2, Randomized, Umbrella Study With Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents in Participants with Previously Treated Stage IV Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01H) - NCT06780085
  • KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01I: A Phase 2, Randomized, Umbrella Study With Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents in Participants With Previously Treated Stage IV Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01I) - NCT06780098
  • KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01J: A Randomized Phase 2 Umbrella Study With Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents for First-line Treatment of Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With KRAS G12C Mutations (MK-3475-01J) - NCT number pending

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung
  • Age: 18 years or above
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria:

The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

  • Has histologically- or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV squamous or nonsquamous NSCLC
  • Has measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1

Exclusion Criteria:

The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

  • Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
  • Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease
  • Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy

This study investigates treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of investigational agents, alone or in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy, in treating NSCLC. Pembrolizumab is a type of immunotherapy that helps the immune system fight cancer cells. The study consists of several substudies, each focusing on different groups of NSCLC patients.

Participants in this study will undergo various procedures depending on the specific substudy they are enrolled in. These procedures may include receiving investigational agents, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy. The study will assess how well these treatments work in different combinations and sequences. Participants will be monitored for their response to the treatments and any side effects they may experience.

  • Who can participate: Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV squamous or nonsquamous NSCLC and measurable disease according to specific criteria. Key exclusions include having an active autoimmune disease requiring treatment in the past 2 years or a history of certain lung conditions or active infection requiring therapy.
  • Study details: Participants will receive investigational treatments, which may include a combination of investigational agents, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy. The study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of these treatments in different sequences and combinations.
