Key information

About this study

The study includes 2 independent substudies, which have been defined by treatment combination and participant population as follows:

  • Substudy 1 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of DS-3939a in combination with immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy (carboplatin or pemetrexed) in participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous (NSQ) NSCLC in the first-line setting.
  • Substudy 2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of DS-3939a in combination with DS-1103a or as a monotherapy in participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSQ NSCLC who are pretreated.

Each sub study will be conducted in 2 parts: Dose escalation (Part 1) and Dose expansion (Part 2). The allocation of participants in Part 1 will be non-randomized, and in Part 2, it will be randomized for both substudies.

Primary outcomes

  1. Part 1: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Time frame: During first cycle (Cycle length=21 days)

    DLT is defined as any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) not attributable to disease or disease-related processes, environmental factors, unrelated trauma, etc., that occurs during the DLT-evaluation Period (Day 1 to the end of Cycle 1) and is Grade ≥3. Toxicities will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 6.0.

  2. Part 1: Number of Participants With TEAEs

    Time frame: Up to approximately 4 years

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptoms, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. TEAEs are defined as AEs with start or worsening date during the on-treatment period (from the first dose date of trial intervention to 50 days after the last dose date of trial intervention, unless otherwise specified in the applicable sub-study protocol).

  3. Part 2: Objective Response (OR) Per RECIST v1.1 as Assessed by Investigator

    Time frame: Up to approximately 4 years

    OR is defined as participants with a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part 1: OR Per RECIST v1.1 as Assessed by Investigator

    Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years

    OR is defined as participants with a BOR of confirmed CR or confirmed PR as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1.

  2. Part 2: Number of Participants With TEAEs

    Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptoms, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. TEAEs are defined as AEs with start or worsening date during the on-treatment period (from the first dose date of trial intervention to 50 days after the last dose date of trial intervention, unless otherwise specified in the applicable sub-study protocol).

  3. Parts 1 and 2: Duration of Response (DoR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years

    DoR is defined as the time (month) from date of initial response (CR or PR) to the earlier date of the first objective documentation of radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause.

  4. Parts 1 and 2: Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years

    Disease control is defined as participants with a BOR of confirmed CR, confirmed PR, or stable disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1. DCR is defined as the percentage of participants with disease control.

  5. Parts 1 and 2: Time To Response (TTR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years

    TTR is defined as the time (month) from the first dose of any trial intervention(s) to the date of the first documentation of objective response in responders (BOR of confirmed CR or confirmed PR).

  6. Parts 1 and 2: Best Percentage Change in the Sum of Diameters (SoD) of Measurable Tumors

    Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years

    The best percentage change in SoD is defined as the percentage change in the smallest SoD from all postbaseline tumor assessments, taking as reference the baseline SoD. SoD is the sum of diameters from all measurable target lesions.

  7. Parts 1 and 2: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Per RECIST v1.1 as Assessed by Investigator

    Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years

    PFS is defined as the time (month) from the first dose of any trial intervention(s) to the earlier date of the first objective documentation of radiographic disease progression as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause.

  8. Parts 1 and 2: Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years

    OS is defined as the time from the first dose of any trial intervention(s) to death due to any cause.
