This trial is for adults with stage IV squamous or nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer, without previous systemic treatment for metastatic disease or checkpoint immunotherapy. Additional mutation and fitness criteria apply.

The idea: compare pembrolizumab plus platinum chemotherapy against pembrolizumab plus patritumab deruxtecan. Pembrolizumab blocks PD-1; patritumab deruxtecan targets HER3 to deliver a payload that disrupts DNA copying. These are separate treatment groups. Researchers assess tumor response and side effects. Treatment uses three-week cycles, with chemotherapy schedules differing by cancer type.

This phase 2 study plans 90 patients. Merck sponsors five recruiting US sites.
