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 previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression (≥50%), excluding those with common targetable mutations or prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy, to compare pembrolizumab alone versus pembrolizumab plus sigvotatug vedotin, an integrin beta-6–targeting antibody-drug conjugate.
