A Study of V940/Placebo + Pembrolizumab and Chemotherapy in Metastatic Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (V940-013)
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Researchers want to know if V940 (the study treatment) given with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can treat metastatic treatment-naive squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). V940 is designed to help a person's immune system attack their specific cancer. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive V940 with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy live longer overall and without the cancer growing or spreading compared to people who receive placebo with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. A placebo looks like the study treatment but has no study treatment in it. Using a placebo helps researchers better understand the effects of the study treatment.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion Criteria include, but are not limited to: * Has a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Stage IV: M1a, M1b, M1c1, M1c2, AJCC Staging Manual, Version 9). NOTE: Mixed tumors will be characterized by the predominant cell type; however, small cell elements are not permitted. * Has measurable disease per Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology * Has provided a tissue sample that is collected either at the time of or after the diagnosis of metastatic disease AND is from a site not previously irradiated * Adverse events (AEs) due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to ≤Grade 1. Participants with endocrine-related AEs who are adequately treated with hormone replacement or participants who have ≤Grade 2 neuropathy are eligible * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants must have well controlled HIV on
