Overview

This study aims to assess the antitumor activity and safety of JDQ443 single-agent as first-line treatment for participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors harbor a KRAS G12C mutation and a PD-L1 expression < 1% regardless of STK11 mutation status (cohort A), or a PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% and an STK11 co-mutation (cohort B).

Description

This is a non-randomized, open-label, single arm, multicenter, phase II study evaluating the antitumor activity and safety of JDQ443 single agent as first-line treatment for participants with locally advanced or metastatic KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC. The study will have 2 non-comparative cohorts (Cohort A and B) that will recruit participants in parallel.

The study treatment begins on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) with the first administration of JDQ443. Each cycle is 21 days.

Study completion is defined as the earliest occurrence of one of the following:

  • The last participant completes last study visit (and the assessments associated with this visit have been documented and followed-up appropriately by the Investigator), dies, withdraws consent or is lost to follow-up, whichever comes first.
  • In the event of an early study termination decision, the date of that decision.
  • Another clinical study becomes available that can continue to provide JDQ443 to study participants and all participants with ongoing treatment are transferred to that clinical study.

Eligibility

Key Inclusion criteria

  • Histologically confirmed locally advanced (stage IIIb/IIIc not eligible for definitive chemoradiation or surgical resection with curative intent) or metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC without previous systemic treatment for metastatic disease. Prior (neo)adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy, or prior radiotherapy administered sequentially or concomitantly with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy for localized or locally advanced disease are accepted if the time between therapy completion and enrollment is > 12 months.
  • Presence of a KRAS G12C mutation (all participants) and:
  • Cohort A: PD-L1 expression < 1%, regardless of STK11 mutation status
  • Cohort B: PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% and an STK11 co-mutation
  • At least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1.
  • ECOG performance status ≤ 1.
  • Participants capable of swallowing study medication.

Key Exclusion criteria

  • Participants whose tumors harbor an EGFR-sensitizing mutation and/or ALK rearrangement by local laboratory testing. Participants with other known druggable alterations will be excluded, if required by local guidelines
  • Previous use of a KRAS G12C inhibitor or previous systemic treatment for metastatic NSCLC.
  • A medical condition that results in increased photosensitivity (i.e. solar urticaria, lupus erythematosus, etc).
  • Know active (unstable/symptomatic) central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
  • Participants who are taking a prohibited medication (strong CYP3A inducers) that cannot be discontinued at least seven days prior to the first dose of study treatment and for the duration of the study

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
