A Clinical Trial of Calderasib (MK-1084) and Durvalumab in People With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-1084-015/KANDLELIT-015)
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo- and Active-Comparator-Controlled Study of MK-1084 Plus Durvalumab Versus Placebo Plus Durvalumab in Participants With Locally Advanced, Unresected KRAS G12C-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Without Disease Progression Following Definitive Platinum-Based Chemoradiotherapy (KANDLELIT-015)

310 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is unresected and has a gene mutation called KRAS G12C. Researchers want to learn if calderasib (MK-1084) can be given with durvalumab, an immunotherapy, to treat NSCLC after chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The goal of this trial is to learn if participants who receive calderasib and durvalumab live longer without the cancer growing or spreading compared to participants who receive placebo and durvalumab.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria8
- Has a histological or cytological diagnosis of locally advanced, unresected Stage II (node-positive) to III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with predominantly nonsquamous histology.
- Has completed definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) prior to enrollment, without disease progression.
- Has provided a tumor tissue sample for central laboratory testing of Kirsten rat sarcoma G12C (KRAS G12C) status, programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) status, and biomarker research.
- Tumor tissue sample has a demonstrated presence of KRAS G12C mutation and an evaluable PD-L1 status result.
- If human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected, has well-controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART).
