CARMEN-LC04 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new combination drug therapy for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed despite other treatments. The goal is to see if the new therapy is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who've seen their disease progress after platinum-based chemo and immune therapy. They must have a certain level of CEACAM5 in tumors, at least one measurable lesion, be relatively fit (ECOG 0-1), and agree to use birth control post-treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests tusamitamab ravtansine combined with ramucirumab or both drugs plus pembrolizumab in those previously treated for NSCLC. It aims to find the right dose, check safety, measure how long the treatment works, and monitor its effect on tumor growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to infusion treatments, fatigue, issues affecting organs like liver or kidneys due to drug toxicity, blood disorders that can affect clotting or immunity, and possibly increased risk of infection.
