QL2107 plus chemotherapy versus Keytruda for metastatic non-squamous NSCLC

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter Phase III Clinical Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of QL2107 Versus Keytruda® in Combination With Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Metastatic Non-squamous Non-small-cell Lung Cancer

Run by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT06754644 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This test will see if giving QL2107 with pemetrexed and carboplatin works as well as Keytruda (pembrolizumab) with chemotherapy for adults with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who do not have EGFR or ALK mutations.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV non-squamous NSCLC, ECOG performance status 0–1, no EGFR sensitive mutations or ALK translocations, and an expected survival of at least three months are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with EGFR sensitive mutations or ALK translocations, poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), those who recently had high-dose pulmonary radiation, or those requiring other concurrent anti-tumor therapies are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 3, interventional comparison of QL2107 combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin against Keytruda with chemotherapy in patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC. Eligible participants are adults 18–75 years old with confirmed metastatic non-squamous disease, ECOG 0–1, no EGFR sensitive mutations or ALK translocations, and an expected survival of at least three months. The trial focuses on measuring treatment efficacy and safety outcomes to determine whether QL2107 produces similar clinical results to pembrolizumab when given with standard chemotherapy. Treatments are administered at an investigational site in Jinan, Shandong, with regular clinic visits for dosing, monitoring, and outcome assessment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, QL2107 could offer an alternative immune therapy option comparable to Keytruda, potentially increasing treatment choices and access for patients.

How similar studies have gone: Other PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors given with chemotherapy, including pembrolizumab, have shown benefit in similar metastatic non-squamous NSCLC populations, so the general approach has clinical precedent.
