About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether PF-08634404 with chemotherapy works better than pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. It is for adults with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or other parts of the body and has not yet been treated for advanced disease.

This study is being done to find out if a new medicine called PF-08634404, when given with chemotherapy, works better than the present standard treatment (pembrolizumab with chemotherapy) for adults with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is either locally advanced (spread to nearby tissues) or has spread to other parts of the body. To join the study, participants must meet the following conditions: * Be 18 years or older. * Have locally advanced (Stage IIIB/IIIC) or metastatic (Stage IV) squamous or non-squamous NSCLC. * Is not a candidate for complete surgical resection or curative chemoradiotherapy. * Do not have known actionable genomic alterations * Be treatment naïve for advanced or metastatic disease Participants in this study will be assigned to two different parts of the study depending on their type of tumor: participants with squamous NSCLC will be assigned to Part 1, while participants with non-squamous NSCLC will be assigned to Part 2. Each participant will be randomly assigned (like a flip of the coin) to one of two treatment groups in a blinded fashion: * Part 1 - Arm A or Part 2 - Arm C (Experimental Group): Will receive a new study medicine called PF-08634404 along with a kind of chemotherapy specific to the type of tumor. * Part 1 - Arm B or Part 2 - Arm D (Control Group): Will receive an approved medicine called pembrolizumab along with a kind of chemotherapy specific to the type of tumor. Participants will receive their assigned treatment through intravenous (IV) infusions, which means the medicine is given directly into a vein. The treatment will be given in cycles, participants will receive PF-08634404 or Pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy followed by maintenance with either PF-08634404 or Pembrolizumab monotherapy (Part 1) or PF-08634404 or Pembrolizumab in combination with a chemotherapeutic drug (Part 2). Participants will continue receiving treatment if it is helping and not experiencing serious side effects. The study will include regular visits for: * Treatment and health checks: while participant continues receiving treatment. * Tests to monitor how cancer responds: every 6 weeks during the first 48 weeks, then every 12 weeks thereafter.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Be 18 years or older.
  • Have confirmed squamous or non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer at stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV.
  • Be unable to have surgery to remove all the cancer or chemotherapy with radiation to cure it.
  • Have had no treatment for advanced or spreading lung cancer.
  • Have a tumor tissue sample and a local test result for PD-L1, a protein tested in cancer care.
  • Have cancer that the study doctor can measure.
  • Be fully active or able to do light work despite limits on hard physical activity.
  • Be expected to live at least 12 weeks.

Who can't join

  • Have certain cancer gene changes with available first-choice treatments. People with non-squamous cancer must test negative for EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 changes.
  • Have active cancer spots in the brain or spinal cord. Treated brain cancer spots may be allowed, as may inactive spots smaller than 1 centimeter.
  • Have a serious risk of bleeding or a fistula, an abnormal opening between body parts.
  • Have had another cancer within 3 years, or still have cancer left from an earlier diagnosis.
  • Have lung swelling not caused by infection, lung swelling caused by medicine, or severe lung disease unrelated to the cancer.
  • Have had certain cancer treatments, including immunotherapy or medicines that block tumor blood vessel growth, or have ongoing side effects from earlier treatment.
  • Have certain infections, including active HIV or hepatitis B or C, an immune system disorder, or a past organ or donor stem cell transplant.
  • Be breastfeeding, or be unwilling to follow the study’s birth control rules if they apply to you.

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