Study Summary

This trial tests safety and effectiveness of a drug combo to treat advanced non-squamous lung cancer with or without STK11 mutations.

Who is the study for?
Adults with untreated advanced non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that can't be cured by surgery or radiation, specifically those with STK11 mutation and no EGFR, ALK, ROS1, RET rearrangements, NRTK gene fusions, BRAF V600E or METex14 Skipping Mutations. Participants should not have had previous chemotherapy for their lung cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of Bemcentinib in combination with Pembrolizumab plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin as a first-line treatment. The goal is to find the best dose for phase 2 trials and see how well this combo works against NSCLC with STK11 mutations.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions from the drugs being administered into the bloodstream, fatigue from treatment-induced exhaustion, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea, blood disorders affecting cell counts.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase 2a Expansion Cohort: Bemcentinib (at 2 doses as determined from Phase 1b)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants with previously untreated advanced (Stage IIIb/IIIc)/metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC having a serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) mutation as identified by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and without actionable mutations will receive bemcentinib, at RP2D identified in Phase 1b, once daily until a reason for discontinuation has been met or for up to 2 years, whichever occurs first along with CIT (Pembrolizumab infusion followed by pemetrexed and carboplatin).
Group II: Phase 1b Cohort 3: Bemcentinib Dose 3Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants with previously untreated locally advanced (Stage IIIb/IIIc)/metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC without actionable mutations will receive bemcentinib dose 3 once daily until a reason for discontinuation has been met or for up to 2 years, whichever occurs first along with CIT (Pembrolizumab infusion followed by pemetrexed and carboplatin).
Group III: Phase 1b Cohort 2: Bemcentinib Dose 2Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants with previously untreated locally advanced (Stage IIIb/IIIc)/metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC without actionable mutations will receive bemcentinib dose 2 once daily until a reason for discontinuation has been met or for up to 2 years, whichever occurs first along with CIT (Pembrolizumab infusion followed by pemetrexed and carboplatin).
Group IV: Phase 1b Cohort 1: Bemcentinib Dose 1Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants with previously untreated locally advanced (Stage IIIb/IIIc)/metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC without actionable mutations will receive bemcentinib dose 1 once daily until a reason for discontinuation has been met or for up to 2 years, whichever occurs first along with CIT (Pembrolizumab infusion followed by pemetrexed and carboplatin).
