Condition(s) studied

Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Sacituzumab tirumotecanPembrolizumabSupportive care measures

Sacituzumab tirumotecan: IV infusion

Pembrolizumab: IV infusion

Supportive care measures: Participants are allowed to take supportive care measures at the discretion of the investigator. Prophylactic supportive care measures may include but are not limited to antiemetic agents, antidiarrheal agents, granulocyte and erythroid growth factors, and blood transfusions

Study summary

The primary objective of the study is to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan combined with pembrolizumab to pembrolizumab alone with respect to overall survival (OS). The primary hypothesis is that the combination of sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab is superior to pembrolizumab alone with respect to OS.
