Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with metastatic (stage IV or recurrent) NSCLC who are treatment-naive for metastatic disease, have a confirmed homozygous MTAP deletion, ECOG 0–1, and at least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with actionable targetable oncogenic mutations who have a standard first-line targeted therapy option, those with symptomatic brain metastases or spinal cord compression, prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease, or poor performance status are unlikely to benefit from or be eligible for this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2/3 trial enrolls adults with treatment-naive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who have a homozygous MTAP deletion. Participants receive standard first-line pembrolizumab with platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin) and are randomly assigned to also receive either BMS-986504 or matching placebo. BMS-986504 is a selective MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor intended to exploit the MTAP deletion synthetic vulnerability. Patients are treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity and will be followed for outcomes such as tumor response and survival.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, adding BMS-986504 could improve response rates and survival for patients with MTAP-deleted metastatic NSCLC.
How similar studies have gone: PRMT5 inhibitors are an emerging therapeutic class with encouraging preclinical data and early-phase signals, but combining a PRMT5 inhibitor with PD-1 blockade and chemotherapy in MTAP-deleted NSCLC is largely novel and not yet proven in randomized trials.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria * Participants must have Metastatic (Stage IV or recurrent) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (as defined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, Ninth Edition) with no prior systemic anti-cancer therapy for metastatic disease. * Participants must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC and homozygous methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) deletion or MTAP loss. * Participants must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1. * Participants must have at least 1 measurable lesion as per RECIST v1.1. Exclusion Criteria * Nonsquamous participants must not have documented targetable oncogenic mutation or actionable genetic alterations (AGAs) for which there is a standard of care (SoC) available as first-line (1L) therapy. * Participants must not have symptomatic brain metastases or spinal cord compression. * Participants must not have any prior systemic therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or biological therapy) for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC). Note: One cycle of SoC treatment prior to randomization will be allowed for participants who require immediate treatment if clinically indicated. * Participants must not have any known or suspected impairment of gastrointestinal function that may prohibit the ability to absorb or swallow an oral medication without chewing or crushing. * Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply.
