About this study

In plain language

This study tests the side effects and how well telisotuzumab adizutecan works with budigalimab or pembrolizumab, drugs that help the immune system fight cancer. The drugs are given through a vein. It is for adults with advanced or spreading non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, with different rules about past treatment for each study part.

Non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is the most frequently occurring histologic subtype of lung cancer and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when Telisotuzumab Adizutecan (ABBV-400) is given in combination with a programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD1) immune checkpoint inhibitor to adult participants to treat NSCLC. Telisotuzumab Adizutecan (ABBV-400) and budigalimab are investigational drugs being developed for the treatment of NSCLC. This study will be divided into two stages, with the first stage treating participants with several doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan in combination with budigalimab within the dose escalation regimen until the dose reached is tolerable and expected to be efficacious. In Stage 2 there will be 3 treatment groups. Two groups will receive pembrolizumab with different optimized doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan (to allow for the best dose to be studied in the future). One group will receive the standard of care (SOC) - pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and investigator's choice of carboplatin or cisplatin, followed by pembrolizumab and pemetrexed. Approximately 252 adult participants with NSCLC will be enrolled in the study in 132 sites worldwide. In the dose escalation stage participants will be treated with increasing intravenous (IV) doses of Telisotuzumab Adizutecan in combination with budigalimab until the dose of Telisotuzumab Adizutecan reached is tolerable and expected to be efficacious. In the dose optimization stage participants will be receive IV optimized doses of Telisotuzumab Adizutecan in combination with IV pembrolizumab, or IV SOC - pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and investigator's choice of carboplatin or cisplatin, followed by pembrolizumab and pemetrexed. The study will run for a duration of approximately 33 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Be an adult with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer confirmed by a tissue test. The cancer must have grown into nearby areas or spread to other parts of the body.
  • Have cancer that can be measured using the study’s rules.
  • For Part 1, have no EGFR gene change and no more than one past treatment that works throughout the body for advanced cancer. Allowed treatments include certain chemotherapy, immune treatments, or gene-targeted treatments, if applicable.
  • For Part 2, have no past treatment that works throughout the body for advanced cancer and no known gene changes that can be treated with targeted drugs.
  • Have a recorded test result for PD-L1, a protein linked to how cancer interacts with the immune system.
  • For Part 2, have a usable test result for the c-Met protein from the study’s central lab before being assigned to a treatment group.
  • Have organs that work well enough for the study.

Who can't join

  • Have known cancer spread to the brain or spinal cord that is not controlled.
  • Have had interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis—conditions that damage or inflame the lungs—that needed steroid treatment throughout the body, or have signs of either condition on the screening chest CT scan.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Must have histologically documented non-squamous (NSq) non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that is locally advanced or metastatic will be enrolled into the study. * Must have measurable disease per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1. * For Part 1, participants must have had no more than 1 systemic therapy for advanced disease including platinum-based chemotherapy or an immune checkpoint inhibitor (as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy), or appropriate targeted therapy for an actionable gene alteration, if applicable, for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild-type (WT) NSq NSCLC. * For Part 2, participants must have no prior systemic therapy for advanced disease, no known actionable genomic alteration. * Must have documented programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) status. * For Part 2, participant must have evaluable c-Met immunohistochemistry (IHC) result per central testing prior to randomization. * Must have adequate organ function. Exclusion Criteria: * Known uncontrolled metastases to the central nervous system. * History of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that required treatment with systemic steroids, or any evidence of active ILD or pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan.
