Conditions

Summary

This Phase III, randomized, double-blind study compares the efficacy and safety of SCTB14 versus pembrolizumab as first-line treatment in patients with driver gene-negative, TPS ≥10% locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary objective is to assess superiority of SCTB14 over pembrolizumab in prolonging progression-free survival. Safety will be closely monitored.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria10

  • Voluntarily sign the written informed consent form prior to screening.
  • Age ≥ 18 years, both male and female.
  • ECOG Performance Status score of 0 to 1.

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed, unresectable locally advanced (Stage IIIB/IIIC) or metastatic (Stage IV) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that is not amenable to curative surgery or radical concurrent/sequential chemoradiotherapy.
  • For subjects with non-squamous cell carcinoma, as well as non-smoking subjects with squamous cell carcinoma containing mixed adenocarcinoma components, confirmation of the absence of EGFR sensitizing mutations or ALK gene rearrangements from tumor tissue is required prior to enrollment.
  • Subjects must provide a histology sample suitable for PD-L1 testing, with a Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) ≥ 10%.
  • No prior systemic anti-tumor therapy for the studied disease.
  • At least one measurable non-CNS lesion according to RECIST v1.1 criteria.

  • subjects with metastasis or compression involving the brainstem, meninges, or spinal cord, or those with active CNS metastases or multiple brain metastases.
  • Imaging demonstrates tumor invasion of major blood vessels, significant necrosis or cavitation within the primary tumor lesions, or the presence of lymphangitic carcinomatosis.
  • Imaging demonstrates tumor invasion or compression of adjacent vital organs or carries a risk of developing an esophagotracheal fistula or esophagopleural fistula.
  • History of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy, or the presence of uncontrolled hypertension despite medication, or poorly controlled diabetes despite pharmacotherapy.
  • A history of arterial thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis, cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, or significant vascular disease within 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • A history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, cardiac insufficiency with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class ≥ III, or severe arrhythmia uncontrolled by medication within 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • The presence of any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease with an anticipated recurrence.
  • A history of esophageal/gastric varices, severe ulcer, abdominal fistula, intra-abdominal abscess, gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula, acute gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, or extensive intestinal resection within 6 months prior to the first dose.
  • A history of bleeding tendency, high bleeding risk, or coagulation dysfunction,.
  • The presence of other malignant tumors.
  • Toxicities from prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, surgery, radiotherapy, or other previous antitumor treatments have not recovered to Grade 0-1.
  • Receipt of a live or attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, or a plan to receive a live or attenuated vaccine during the study period; however, the use of inactivated vaccines is permitted.
  • Presence of any of the following infectious conditions: a) severe infection within 4 weeks prior to the first dose; b) active infection within 2 weeks prior to enrollment; c) active tuberculosis; d) positive HIV antibody; e) active hepatitis B or C; f) known active syphilis.
  • Major surgery planned or anticipated during the study period, or unhealed tissue present before enrollment..
  • Presence of symptomatic or recurrent pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring drainage.
  • A history of non-infectious pneumonia requiring treatment or the presence of interstitial lung disease
  • A history of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the investigational drug or a documented history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to any other monoclonal antibody.
  • Current participation in another clinical trial, with the exception of observational (non-interventional) studies or the follow-up phase of an interventional trial.
  • Pregnancy or lactation in female subjects.
  • A known history of alcohol or drug addiction, psychiatric disorders, or drug abuse in the subject.
  • Tumor-induced conditions or symptoms associated with a high medical risk.
  • Any other condition deemed by the investigator to be inappropriate for enrollment.
