Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic lung cancer, specifically those with relapsed or progressive small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage lung cancer or those who have not received prior treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a combination therapy using BNT324, a B7-H3 antibody-drug conjugate, and BNT327, a bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and VEGF, in patients with advanced lung cancer. The study is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on establishing safe dosage levels through a dose escalation design, while the second part aims to confirm the clinical efficacy of the optimal dose in specific lung cancer cohorts. Participants will undergo a screening period, treatment, safety follow-up, and long-term survival follow-up.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced lung cancer, potentially improving survival rates.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combination therapies in lung cancer, indicating potential for success in this approach.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged ≥18 years at the time of giving informed consent. * Histological or cytological confirmed unresectable advanced/metastatic lung cancer. Histological classification may be based on tumor samples prior to metastatic disease. Participants with mixed histology must be classified based on the main component. Participants with NSCLC are eligible with any or no PD-L1 expression. Participants with AGA-positive disease must have received targeted therapy prior to enrollment in this study. * Part 1: Participants with NSCLC and SCLC * Part 2 Cohort 1: Participants with NSCLC (subpopulation 1) AGA negative, 1L * Part 2 Cohort 2: Participants with SCLC, 2L+ * Part 2 Cohort 3: Participants with NSCLC (subpopulation 1) AGA negative, 2L+ * Part 2 Cohort 4: Participants with NSCLC (subpopulation 2) AGA negative, 1L * Part 2 Cohort 5: Participants with NSCLC (subpopulation 2) AGA negative, 2L+ * Part 2 Cohort 6: Participants with NSCLC AGA positive * Part 2 Cohort 7: Participants with SCLC, 1L * Have measurable disease defined by RECIST version 1.1. * Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. * Have a life expectancy of ≥12 weeks. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with B7-H3 targeted therapy. * Prior treatment with ADC with topoisomerase inhibitor (e.g., datopotamab deruxtecan, trastuzumab deruxtecan). Note: This exclusion applies to participants in the first-line/treatment-naïve cohorts in the advanced/metastatic setting. Prior treatment with ADC with topoisomerase inhibitor payload is only allowed for participants in the second-line plus cohorts in the advanced/metastatic setting. * Is a candidate to locoregional treatment (including surgical resection, stereotactic radiotherapy or tumor ablation) with potential to induce complete or near complete response and prolonged tumor control (sometimes described as "radical" intent), per investigator's assessment. * Has a history of significant hematologic toxicity to prior lines of therapy, as assessed by investigator, e.g., Grade 4 febrile neutropenia or recurrent/persistent Grade 3 to 4 neutropenia. NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply to all or some participants depending on the cohort.
