About this study

The trial will be performed as a randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter trial to compare AK112 Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin to Placebo Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin in Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Harboring. Approximately 320 subjects will be randomized to the two treatment at the ratio of 1:1. Each enrolled subject will receive an intravenous infusion of the AK112/Placebo Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin (Q3W,up to 4 cycles)in treatment periods per the randomization schedule. Afterward, AK112/ Placebo Plus Pemetrexed will be used for maintenance treatment (administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) up to 2 years.

Treatment and study plan

Ivonescimab (SMT112 or AK112) Injection

Drug

Subjects will receive Ivonescimab (SMT112 or AK112) Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin via intravenous infusion (IV) Q3W, up to 4 cycles. Afterward, Ivonescimab (SMT112 or AK112) Plus Pemetrexed will be used for maintenance treatment (administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) up to 2 years.

Other names: Pemetrexed, Carboplatin

Placebo injection

Drug

Subjects will receive Placebo Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin via intravenous infusion (IV) Q3W, up to 4 cycles in treatment periods per the randomization schedule. Afterward, Placebo Plus Pemetrexed will be used for maintenance treatment (administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) up to 2 years.

Other names: Pemetrexed, Carboplatin

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by IRC per RECIST v1.1 in the ITT population.

Secondary outcomes

  1. OS

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    Overall Survival (OS) in the ITT population

  2. ORR

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    Efficacy measures such as overall response rate (ORR), which is the proportion of subjects with CR or PR by IRRC based on RECIST v1.1

  3. DCR

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    Disease control rate (DCR), which is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or SD, based on RECIST v1.1

  4. DoR

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    Duration of response (DoR), which is defined as the duration from the first documentation of objective response to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  5. TTR

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    TTR is defined as the time to response base on RECIST v1.1

  6. PFS

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first assessed by investigator Per RECIST 1.1.

  7. AE

    Time frame: From the subject signs the ICF to 30 days (AE) and 90 days (SAE) after the last dose of study treatment or initiation of other anti-tumor therapy, whichever occurs first,up to 2 years

    Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), and clinically significant abnormal laboratory results.

  8. Observed concentrations of AK112

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 2 year

    The endpoints for assessment of PK of AK112 include serum concentrations of AK112 at different timepoints after AK112 administration

  9. Number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)

    Time frame: From first dose of AK112 through 90 days after last dose of AK112,up to 2 years

    The immunogenicity of AK112 will be assessed by summarizing the number of subjects who develop detectable antidrug antibodies (ADAs)
