Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) Versus Chemotherapy in Previously Treated Advanced or Metastatic Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With EGFR Mutations or Other Genomic Alterations (MK-2870-004)

Study comparing MK-2870 and chemotherapy for specific lung cancer patients.

Phase 3

This study is about treating advanced lung cancer, specifically non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a new drug called **sacituzumab tirumotecan**. This drug will be compared to traditional chemotherapy treatments. The study focuses on patients who have specific changes, called *mutations*, in their genes. Some of these mutations include changes in EGFR, ALK, and BRAF genes, which can affect how cancer grows.

**Key points to consider:**

  • The study involves comparing two treatments: the new drug vs. standard chemotherapy.
  • To participate, you need specific genetic mutations and must have tried certain treatments before.
  • You can join if you have controlled infections like Hepatitis B or HIV.

To join, you must have advanced lung cancer that can't be removed or cured with radiation. You should have tried one or two treatments before, including a specific type of drug called EGFR TKI. You can't join if you have other serious health issues, like certain infections or heart diseases. If you've had brain cancer that's now stable, you may still participate. This study aims to see if the new drug helps people live longer or slows cancer growth more effectively than current treatments.

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.
