Pivotal Trial

Summary

"This trial is testing a new drug, AK112, in combination with standard chemotherapy in patients with a specific type of lung cancer who have not responded to previous treatments."

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with advanced non-squamous NSCLC that has worsened after EGFR-TKI treatment. Participants must be in good physical condition, have measurable cancer, and acceptable organ function. They can't join if they've had certain other cancers, serious heart conditions, immune diseases or lung issues unrelated to their cancer.

What is being tested?

The study tests AK112 injection versus a placebo. Both are given alongside standard chemotherapy drugs Pemetrexed and Carboplatin. It's randomized and double-blind, meaning neither the patients nor doctors know who gets AK112 or the placebo.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects of AK112 may include typical reactions to immunotherapy such as fatigue, skin rash, diarrhea, liver inflammation and potential infusion-related reactions.
