A Clinical Trial to Test if an Investigational Combination Therapy With BNT326 and BNT327 is Safe and Potentially Beneficial for People With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Part 1 is a dose escalation to evaluate and establish two or three safe combination dose levels (DL1 and DL2 and optionally DL3) of BNT326 with BNT327.

Part 2a is a dose expansion to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and tolerability.

Part 2b is a dose optimization and contribution of components part.

Parts 1 and 2a (Cohort A) will enroll participants with previous exposure to therapy for advanced/metastatic disease. Part 2a (Cohort B) and Part 2b (Cohorts C and D) will enroll less heavily pre-treated participants, namely those without prior systemic treatment for advanced/metastatic disease.

The sponsor, having heard the internal review committee, may determine the dose levels for each arm in Cohorts C and D based on data generated from Parts 1 and 2a. The dose levels chosen for Cohorts C and D will not exceed the highest dose level investigated in this study.

Parts 1 and 2a will be non-randomized. In Part 2b, participants will be randomized to different treatments within each cohort.

The study consists of a screening period, a treatment period, a safety follow-up period, an efficacy follow-up period, and a long-term survival follow-up. Participants will receive study treatment until disease progression, withdrawal of consent, termination of the study by the sponsor, unacceptable toxicity, or for a maximum duration of 24 months (or for the maximum duration as per the local product label for participants receiving standard of care [SoC] therapy), whichever occurs first. For each study participant, the treatment and follow-up periods are projected to be completed within ~36 months, unless participants are continuing to benefit from treatment per investigator's recommendation and upon sponsor approval.
