Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with confirmed stage IV (advanced or metastatic) NSCLC, measurable disease, adequate organ and marrow function, available tumor tissue, and PD-L1 TPS ≥1%.

Probably not a fit

Patients who lack PD-L1 expression below the required threshold, have poor organ function, or otherwise fail eligibility (for example poor performance status) are unlikely to benefit from this sub-study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, open-label platform that tests multiple combination regimens in participants with advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Sub-study 2 includes a Part A safety run-in to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose (unless already established) followed by Part B expansion cohorts to further evaluate activity. The sub-study specifically examines rilvegostomig plus standard platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without ramucirumab, and requires archival or fresh tumor tissue and measurable disease at baseline. Key eligibility includes PD-L1 TPS ≥1% (for this sub-study), adequate organ function, and a minimum life expectancy as judged by the investigator.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could improve tumor response rates or extend control of disease for some patients with metastatic NSCLC.

How similar studies have gone: Combining checkpoint-targeting agents with chemotherapy has improved outcomes in NSCLC, though TIGIT-targeted approaches are relatively new and have shown mixed but promising results in early trials.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants with confirmed squamous or non-squamous NSCLC with a current Stage IV mNSCLC.

* Has had a prior stem cell, bone marrow, allogenic tissue, or solid organ transplant.
* Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 5 years.
* History of clinically significant arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy of any aetiology or symptomatic congestive heart failure.
* History of another primary malignancy except for malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease ≥ 2 years before the first dose of study intervention or presence of small cell and neuroendocrine histology components.
* Persistent toxicities (common terminology criteria for adverse events \[CTCAE\] ≥ Grade 2) caused by previous anti-cancer therapy, excluding alopecia.
* Spinal cord compression or symptomatic brain metastases.
* Treatment with any other anti-cancer agents or immunosuppressive medication.
* Palliative radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation within 2 weeks or with a wide field of radiation or to more than 30% of the bone marrow within 4 weeks, prior to the first dose of study intervention.

Exclusion Criteria for Sub Study 2:

* Known active hepatitis A.
* Acute hepatitis B infection (anti-hepatitis B core antibody \[HBc\] immunoglobulin M \[IgM\] positive) or chronic hepatitis B infection with HBV DNA ≥ 2000 IU/mL.
* Active hepatitis C infection (anti-HCV positive with HCV RNA detectable) or anti- HCV positive with HCV RNA undetectable for less than 12 weeks following treatment for HCV.
* Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that is not well controlled.
* Evidence of Grade ≥ 1 central nervous system (CNS) haemorrhage.
* Uncontrolled arterial hypertension ≥ 150 mm Hg (systolic) and/or ≥ 100 mm Hg (diastolic).
* Has radiologically documented evidence of major blood vessel invasion or encasement by cancer, or major airway invasion by cancer or intra-tumour cavitation.
* Has experienced any arterial thrombotic event, a Grade ≥ 3 bleeding event or has gross haemoptysis.
* Has significant bleeding disorders, serious or nonhealing wound, ulcer or clinically relevant congestive heart failure.
* Has a bowel obstruction, history or presence of inflammatory enteropathy or extensive intestinal resection.
* Has cirrhosis at a level of Child-Pugh B (or worse), or cirrhosis (any degree) and a history of hepatic encephalopathy or clinically meaningful ascites resulting from cirrhosis.
* Prior systemic therapy received for advanced or mNSCLC.
* Prior exposure to an anti-T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibition Motif domains (TIGIT) therapy or immune-oncology agent such as anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), anti-PD-L1, or anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), or any other anti-cancer therapy targeting immune-regulatory receptors or mechanisms.
* Chronic therapy with antiplatelet agents.
* Prior exposure to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy.
* Medical contraindication to protocol-specified platinum doublet regimens or ramucirumab.
