Clinical Trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer

KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 01I: A Phase 2, Randomized, Umbrella Study With Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents in Participants With Previously Treated Stage IV Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Investigational drug late phase

The trial is testing an investigational drug and is at least phase 2, suggesting that the drug has shown promise in phase 1 studies and might have a high chance of working well compared to other investigational drugs.

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with stage IV squamous NSCLC whose disease has progressed after both anti-PD-(L)1 immunotherapy and platinum chemotherapy, randomizing them to either standard docetaxel or investigational antibody-drug conjugates: Raludotatug deruxtecan (targeting CDH6) or Infinatamab deruxtecan (targeting B7-H3).
