What This Trial Is Studying

The purpose of ARTEMIDE-Lung02 is to assess the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for the first-line (1L) treatment of patients with metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1).

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : * Histologically or cytologically documented squamous NSCLC. * Stage IV mNSCLC (based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer Edition 8) not amenable to curative treatment. * Absence of documented tumor genomic mutation results from tests conducted as part of standard local practice in any actionable driver oncogenes for which there are locally approved targeted 1L therapies. * Provision of acceptable tumor sample to confirm tumor PD-L1 expression TC ≥ 1%. * At least one lesion not previously irradiated that qualifies as a RECIST 1.1 TL at baseline and can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥ 10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes, which must have short axis ≥ 15 mm) with CT or MRI and is suitable for accurate repeated measurements. * Adequate organ and bone marrow function.
