A Clinical Study of Calderasib (MK-1084) and Other Treatments for Participants With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-1084-007/KANDLELIT-007)

A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label, Multicenter Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MK-1084 in Combination With Subcutaneous Pembrolizumab and Berahyaluronidase Alfa (MK-3475A) Versus MK-3475A in Combination With Pemetrexed/Platinum (Carboplatin or Cisplatin) Chemotherapy as First-line Treatment of Participants With KRAS G12C-Mutant, Advanced or Metastatic Nonsquamous NSCLC (KANDLELIT-007)

Sponsor

Enrollment

675 participants

Start Date

Oct 8, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary

Researchers want to learn if the study medicines calderasib and subcutaneous (SC) pembrolizumab can be used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) when given together. Calderasib is a targeted therapy for the KRAS G12C mutation. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive calderasib with SC pembrolizumab live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than in people who receive SC pembrolizumab with chemotherapy.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years
