Study Summary

This trial compares how well two treatments keep cancer from growing or spreading in people with advanced lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific mutation (KRAS p. G12C) and no PD-L1 expression. They should not have had cancer treatment in the metastatic setting, be relatively fit (ECOG ≤ 1), and able to take oral medication.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two treatments: Sotorasib with platinum chemotherapy versus Pembrolizumab with the same chemo, focusing on how long patients live without their cancer getting worse.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include liver problems, diarrhea, muscle pain from Sotorasib; immune reactions, fatigue, skin issues from Pembrolizumab; plus typical chemo-related nausea, hair loss.
