MK-1084 combined with other therapies for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer

Official title: KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01F: A Phase 1b/2 Umbrella Study With Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents for Previously Treated Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With KRAS G12C Mutations

Run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC · NCT07286149 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether MK-1084 given with other anti-cancer drugs can shrink tumors in people with advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have a KRAS G12C mutation and have progressed after prior platinum chemotherapy and PD-(L)1 therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC harboring a KRAS G12C mutation who have progressed after 1–2 prior lines of platinum chemotherapy and PD-(L)1 therapy and can provide required tumor biopsies.

Probably not a fit

Patients without the KRAS G12C mutation, with squamous histology, who cannot tolerate combination therapy, or who cannot provide the required biopsy samples are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies

This substudy of the KEYMAKER-U01 master protocol (MK-3475-U01) is a Phase 1/2 interventional program that gives MK-1084 together with one or more partner agents (including antibody-drug conjugates and monoclonal antibodies) to determine safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity. Participants must have advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with a confirmed KRAS G12C mutation by tumor tissue or ctDNA and have progressed after 1–2 prior lines of platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-(L)1 therapy. The study requires provision of archival and newly obtained tumor biopsies (from lesions not previously irradiated) and includes rescue medication guidelines as needed. Primary endpoints focus on dose-limiting toxicities and objective response rates, with additional monitoring of adverse events and pharmacodynamics.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could offer a new targeted combination option that shrinks tumors or delays progression for KRAS G12C-positive non-squamous NSCLC after standard treatments.

How similar studies have gone: Other KRAS G12C-targeted agents have produced meaningful responses in this population, but combining MK-1084 with the specific partner agents used here is a relatively novel approach with limited prior data.
