ClinicaliQ Trial Snapshot
  • A Global Phase III Study of Rilvegostomig or Pembrolizumab Monotherapy for First-Line Treatment of PD-L1-high Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer — Recruiting • Phase III • Oncology • NCT06868277.
  • What is being tested: ARTEMIDE-Lung04 evaluates rilvegostomig (a novel immunotherapy agent) versus pembrolizumab monotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression.
  • Patient eligibility overview: The trial enrolls treatment-Phase IIIïve patients with mNSCLC confirmed to have PD-L1-high tumours, representing a molecularly-defined population expected to respond to immunotherapy-based approaches.

What This Trial Is Studying

The purpose of ARTEMIDE-Lung04 is to assess the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared with pembrolizumab monotherapy as 1L treatment in participants with mNSCLC and whose tumors express PD-L1.

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : * Histologically or cytologically documented NSCLC (non small lung cancer), including all histological subtypes. * Stage IV mNSCLC (metastatic non-small cell lung cancer) (based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer Edition 8) not amenable to curative treatment. * Absence of sensitizing EGFR (epidermal growth factor) mutations and ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) and ROS1 (c-ros oncogene 1) rearrangements. Negative assay result is required for all non-squamous histology subtypes. * Absence of documented tumor genomic mutation results from tests conducted as part of standard local practice in any other actionable driver oncogenes for which there are locally approved targeted 1L (first line) therapies. * WHO (World Health Organization)/ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status of 0 or 1, with no deterioration over the previous 2 weeks prior to baseline at screening and prior to randomization. * Minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks. * Provision of acceptable tumor sample for the central testing prior to randomization. * At least one lesion not previously irradiated that qualifies as a RECIST 1.1 (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1) TL (target lesion) at baseline and can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥ 10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph…
