• Placebo Injection

Trial Overview The trial tests Ivonescimab (AK112) plus chemotherapy against a placebo plus chemotherapy in patients whose lung cancer progressed after previous treatments. It's randomized and double-blind meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real drug versus placebo until after results are analyzed.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Ivonescimab (SMT112 or AK112) in combination with Pemetrexed and Carboplatin Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

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

Group II: Placebo in combination with Pemetrexed and Carboplatin Placebo Group 1 Intervention

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.
