Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Monotherapy Versus Sacituzumab Govitecan in Combination With Pembrolizumab for Participants With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) ≥50% (MK-3475-D46)

Comparing two treatments for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1 levels.

Phase 3

This study is comparing two cancer treatments for adults with a type of lung cancer called metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). "Metastatic" means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Researchers want to see if combining two drugs, pembrolizumab and sacituzumab govitecan, works better than using pembrolizumab alone. Pembrolizumab helps the immune system fight cancer by targeting a protein called programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), which helps cancer cells hide from the immune system. Patients must have a PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of 50% or more to join the study.

  • The study tests pembrolizumab alone or with sacituzumab govitecan.
  • Participants need to have certain types of lung cancer and a PD-L1 TPS ≥50%.
  • Exclusions include other cancers, prior treatments, or certain health conditions.

People should consider their health history and talk to their doctor to see if they qualify and if the study is a good fit for them. The study's goal is to improve survival and manage cancer growth. Participants should understand the potential risks and benefits before enrolling.

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.
