TROPION-Lung08 Trial Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of a new cancer drug, datopotamab deruxtecan, when used with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who haven't had previous systemic treatments. Participants must have high PD-L1 expression, good physical condition, adequate bone marrow function, and no significant heart issues. They should not have certain infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV, severe eye diseases, recent vaccines, autoimmune diseases, other cancers within a set time frame, or untreated brain metastases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Dato-DXd combined with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in treating NSCLC without specific genetic changes. It aims to determine which treatment works better for this type of lung cancer by randomly assigning participants to one of the two groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs and infusion-related reactions. There may also be fatigue, blood disorders that affect how your body fights infection or clots bloods cells together after an injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the goals of this clinical trial?

"The goal of this trial is to evaluate the overall survival rate in patients who are administered Dato-DXd in combination with pembrolizumab, compared to those who only receive pembrolizumab. Secondary outcomes that will be measured include the objective response rate by investigator, duration of response by BICR and investigator, and objective response rate by blinded independent central review."

Answered by AI

How many participants are being asked to join this research project?

"In order to complete this clinical trial, 740 patients that meet the specified criteria are required. The sponsor, Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, has chosen Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New hampshire and The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation in Whittier, California as the primary sites for data collection."

Answered by AI
