Study Summary

This trial is testing different therapies to see which is most effective and safe to treat patients with NSCLC tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with resectable, untreated Stage IB-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have specific biomarkers. They must be medically fit for surgery, have good organ function and performance status, and not have had any prior lung cancer treatments in the last 2 years. Participants should agree to use contraception and cannot join if they've had major surgery recently or other cancers within 3 years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests multiple therapies including Divarasib, Vemurafenib, Alectinib, Chemotherapy, Resection (surgery), Cobimetinib, Pralsetinib, SBRT (a type of radiation therapy), Atezolizumab (immunotherapy), and Entrectinib on patients with NSCLC who meet certain genetic criteria. The goal is to see which treatment works best.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system from drugs like Atezolizumab; skin issues from targeted therapies like Vemurafenib; liver changes due to Divarasib; fatigue from chemotherapy; surgical complications from resection; and tissue damage from radiation therapy.

Trial Design

7Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: ROS 1 CohortExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will receive up to 8 weeks of entrectinib neoadjuvant treatment before undergoing surgical resection per standard of care. All participants that undergo surgical resection and whose tumors have pathological response or lack radiographic progression will be eligible for the Adjuvant Treatment Phase with entrectinib. Adjuvant therapy will consist of 4 cycles of chemotherapy followed by up to 2 years of entrectinib.
Group II: RET CohortExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will receive up to 8 weeks of pralsetinib neoadjuvant treatment before undergoing surgical resection per standard of care. All participants that undergo surgical resection and whose tumors have pathological response or lack radiographic progression will be eligible for the Adjuvant Treatment Phase with pralsetinib. Adjuvant therapy will consist of 4 cycles of chemotherapy followed by up to 2 years of pralsetinib. Enrollment closed.
Group III: PD-L1 CohortExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants with positive PD-L1 in ≥1% tumor cells will receive 4 cycles of atezolizumab neoadjuvant treatment. During neoadjuvant Cycle 1 of atezolizumab, patients will also receive low-dose SBRT (8Gy X 3). Adjuvant treatment consists of SOC treatment as determined by the investigator, per NCCN guidelines
Group IV: NTRK CohortExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will receive up to 8 weeks of entrectinib neoadjuvant treatment before undergoing surgical resection per standard of care. All participants that undergo surgical resection and whose tumors have pathological response or lack radiographic progression will be eligible for the Adjuvant Treatment Phase with entrectinib. Adjuvant therapy will consist of 4 cycles of chemotherapy followed by up to 2 years of entrectinib.
Group V: KRAS G12C CohortExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive up to 8 weeks of divarasib as neoadjuvant treatment before undergoing surgical resection per standard of care. PD-L1 negative patients whose tumors have pathological response or lack radiographic progression will be have the option of continuing divarasib for up to 2 years as adjuvant therapy
Group VI: BRAF CohortExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants will receive up to 8 weeks of vemurafenib plus cobimetinib neoadjuvant treatment before undergoing surgical resection per standard of care. All participants that undergo surgical resection and whose tumors have pathological response or lack radiographic progression will be eligible for the Adjuvant Treatment Phase with vemurafenib plus cobimetinib. Adjuvant therapy will consist of 4 cycles of chemotherapy followed by up to 2 years of of vemurafenib plus cobimetinib. Enrollment closed.
Group VII: ALK CohortExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will receive up to 8 weeks of alectinib neoadjuvant treatment before undergoing surgical resection per standard of care. All participants that undergo surgical resection and whose tumors have pathological response or lack radiographic progression will be eligible for the Adjuvant Treatment Phase with alectinib. Adjuvant therapy will consist of 4 cycles of chemotherapy followed by up to 2 years of alectinib.
