KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01J: A Study of Pembrolizumab Plus MK-1084 in Participants With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog (KRAS) G12C Mutations (MK-3475-01J/KEYMAKER-U01J)

Researchers want to learn if using a study medicine called MK-1084 can help treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). MK-1084 is a type of treatment called targeted therapy for the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) G12C gene change. The goal of this study is to learn about the safety of MK-1084 and to learn how many people have the cancer get smaller or go away during the study treatment.

  • Has not adequately recovered from major surgery or has ongoing surgical complications

Treatment and study plan

Drug

Oral Administration

Pembrolizumab

Biological

Intravenous administration

Other names: Keytruda, MK-3475

Cetuximab

Biological

Intravenous administration

Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (sac-TMT)

Biological

Injection powder for intravenous infusion

Other names: MK-2870, SKB264

Rescue medication

Drug

Participants receive the following rescue medications, per approved product label, as premedication to study treatment to prevent hypersensitivity and/or infusion reactions: diphenhydramine (or equivalent histamine-1 [Hl] receptor antagonist), H2 receptor antagonist, acetaminophen or equivalent, dexamethasone or equivalent infusion, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). A steroid mouthwash (dexamethasone or equivalent) will be given as prophylaxis for stomatitis/oral mucositis.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants with a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 21 days

    A DLT is defined as the occurrence of protocol-specified toxicities if assessed by the investigator to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to study intervention administration, excluding toxicities clearly not related to the drug.

  2. Percentage of Participants who Experience at Least One Adverse Event (AE)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 84 months

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

  3. Percentage of Participants who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE

    Time frame: Up to approximately 84 months

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

  4. Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 84 months

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1. The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by BICR will be presented.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of Response (DOR) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR

    Time frame: Up to approximately 84 months

    For participants who demonstrate a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) or death. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. DOR as assessed by BICR will be presented.

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR

    Time frame: Up to approximately 84 months

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as assessed by Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as assessed by BICR will be presented.

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 84 months

    OS, defined as the time from first dose or randomization (depending on study period) to death due to any cause. OS will be presented.

  4. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) for MK-1084

    Time frame: At designated timepoints (up to approximately 44 days)

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC of MK-1084.

  5. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-1084

    Time frame: At designated timepoints (up to approximately 44 days)

    Blood samples will be collected to estimate Cmax of MK-1084.

  6. Trough Concentration (Ctrough) of MK-1084

    Time frame: At designated timepoints (up to approximately 84 months)

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the Ctrough of MK-1084.
