Evaluating a new treatment for advanced non-squamous lung cancer

An Open-label Multi-Cohort Phase 1b/2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Optimal Dose of Telisotuzumab Adizutecan in Combination With a PD-1 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor in Advanced or Metastatic Non-Squamous NSCLC With No Prior Treatment for Advanced Disease and No Actionable Genomic Alterations

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional AbbVie · NCT06772623

This study is testing a new combination of medications for adults with advanced lung cancer who haven't had treatment before, to see if it is safe and effective.

What this trial studies

This study assesses the safety and effectiveness of Telisotuzumab Adizutecan combined with Budigalimab in adults with advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) who have not received prior treatment. The trial is divided into two stages: the first focuses on determining the optimal dose of the investigational drugs, while the second involves multiple treatment groups receiving different doses. Participants will be monitored for adverse events and changes in disease activity throughout the study.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have not received prior systemic therapy and have no actionable genomic alterations.

Not a fit: Patients with uncontrolled metastases to the central nervous system or a history of interstitial lung disease may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar combinations of immunotherapy and targeted treatments, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
