A Randomized, Phase 2/3 Study to Evaluate the Optimal Dose, Safety, and Efficacy of Livmoniplimab in Combination With Budigalimab Plus Chemotherapy Versus Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy in Untreated Metastatic Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

NCT ID: NCT06236438Sponsor: AbbVieLast updated: 2026-02-23

Summary

Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, with poor survival prospects for metastatic disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimized dose, adverse events, and efficacy of livmoniplimab in combination with budigalimab plus chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in participants with untreated metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Livmoniplimab is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of NSCLC. There are 2 stages to this study. In Stage 1, there are 4 treatment arms. Participants will either receive livmoniplimab (at different doses) in combination with budigalimab (another investigational drug) + chemotherapy, budigalimab +chemotherapy, or pembrolizumab +chemotherapy. In Stage 2, there are 2 treatments arms. Participants will either receive livmoniplimab (optimized dose) in combination with budigalimab +chemotherapy or placebo in combination with pembrolizumab +chemotherapy. Chemotherapy consists of IV Infused pemetrexed + IV infused cisplatin or IV infused or injected carboplatin. Approximately 840 adult participants will be enrolled in the study across 200 sites worldwide. Stage 1: In cohort 1, participants will receive intravenously (IV) infused livmoniplimab (dose A)+ IV infused budigalimab, + chemotherapy for 4 cycles followed by livmoniplimab + budigalimab + IV Infused pemetrexed. In cohort 2, participants will receive livmoniplimab (dose B) + budigalimab + chemotherapy for 4 cycles followed by livmoniplimab + budigalimab + pemetrexed. In cohort 3, participants will receive budigalimab + chemotherapy for 4 cycles followed by budigalimab + pemetrexed . In cohort 4, participants will receive IV Infused pembrolizumab + chemotherapy for 4 cycles followed by pembrolizumab + pemetrexed. Stage 2: In arm 1, participants will receive livmoniplimab (dose optimized) + budigalimab + chemotherapy for 4 cycles followed by livmoniplimab + budigalimab + pemetrexed. In arm 2, participants will receive IV Infused placebo + pembrolizumab + chemotherapy for 4 cycles followed by pembrolizumab + pemetrexed. The estimated study duration is 55 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and may require frequent medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires, and scans.

Outcome measures

Primary

  • Stage 1: Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR)/Partial Response (PR)

    BOR of CR/PR is defined as achieving CR or PR according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 as determined by investigators at any time prior to subsequent anticancer therapy. Objective response rate (ORR), defined as the percentage of participants with a BOR of CR/PR, will be summarized.

    Time frame: Up to 21 Months

  • Stage 2: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time measured from randomization until death from any cause.

    Time frame: Up to 55 Months

Secondary

  • Stage 1: Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Up to 21 Months

  • Stage 1: Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Up to 21 Months

  • Stage 1: OS

    Time frame: Up to 21 Months

  • Stage 2: PFS

    Time frame: Up to 55 Months

  • Stage 2: BOR of CR/PR

    Time frame: Up to 55 Months

  • Stage 2: Change from Baseline in Physical Functioning (PF) as measured by the PF domain of European Organization for Research Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire 17 (EORTC QLQ-F17)

    Time frame: Up to 55 Months

  • Stage 2: Change from Baseline in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Symptom Assessment Questionnaire (NSCLC-SAQ)

    Time frame: Up to 55 Months

  • Stage 2: Change from Baseline in Quality of Life as Measured by the Global Health Status/Quality of Life Domain of the EORTC QLQ-F17

    Time frame: Up to 55 Months

  • Stage 2: PFS per Investigator

    Time frame: Up to 55 Months

  • Stage 1: BOR of CR/PR per Investigator

    Time frame: Up to 21 Months

  • Stage 2: DOR

    Time frame: Up to 55 Months

  • Stage 2: DOR per investigator

    Time frame: Up to 55 Months
