Testing new immunotherapy combinations for advanced lung cancer

A Phase 1b/2, Multicenter, Open-label Platform Study of Select Immunotherapy Combinations in Adult Participants With Previously Untreated Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With High PD-L1 Expression

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Servier · NCT06162572

This study is testing a new combination of immunotherapy drugs to see if they can help adults with untreated advanced lung cancer feel better and live longer.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the anti-PD1 antibody cemiplimab combined with other antibodies (S095018, S095024, S095029) in adults with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has high PD-L1 expression. It consists of two parts: a safety lead-in phase to determine the recommended dose for expansion and a randomized dose expansion phase to assess the efficacy of these combinations. Participants will receive treatment for up to 108 weeks or until disease progression occurs. The study aims to improve treatment options for patients with this challenging cancer.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with untreated advanced or metastatic NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression.

Not a fit: Patients with specific driver mutations or those who have previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new effective treatment option for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar immunotherapy combinations, indicating potential for success in this approach.
