Summary

This trial is designed to study the safety and effectiveness of different cancer treatments in people with NSCLC that can't be removed by surgery and have certain oncogenic mutations or high TMB.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who haven't had recent cancer treatments and are in fairly good health. They should be able to perform daily activities with ease to moderate difficulty, have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, and agree to use contraception.

What is being tested?

The study tests various targeted therapies and immunotherapies—either alone or combined—for NSCLC. These include Alectinib, Atezolizumab, Pemetrexed, among others. The effectiveness of these treatments will be measured by their ability to shrink tumors or slow disease progression.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include fatigue, nausea, skin reactions, increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression by the drugs tested like Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab; organ-specific toxicity such as liver or kidney issues from agents like Cisplatin.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Cohort G: Divarasib or DocetaxelExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Experimental: Cohort G: GDC-6036 or Docetaxel This cohort includes participants with KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will receive GDC-6036 PO QD or IV docetaxel Q3W (75 mg/m\^2) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity New participants will no longer receive docetaxel.

Group II: Cohort F: Atezolizumab, Bevacizumab, Carboplatin, and PemetrexedExperimental Treatment4 Interventions

This cohort includes participants with EGFR exon 20+ NSCLC. Participants will receive atezolizumab + bevacizumab + carboplatin + pemetrexed for 4 or 6 induction cycles (cycle = 21 days). After induction therapy, participants will continue maintenance treatment with atezolizumab + bevacizumab + pemetrexed until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or death. Enrollment to Cohort F is complete.

Group III: Cohort E: Atezolizumab, Vemurafenib, and CobimetinibExperimental Treatment3 Interventions

This cohort includes participants with BRAF V600 mutation. Participants will receive: atezolizumab 1680 mg IV Q4W after the run-in period; cobimetinib 60 mg orally (PO) QD on Days 1-21 of each cycle during the run-in and triple-combination periods; and vemurafenib 960 mg PO twice daily (BID) on Days 1-21 of the initial run-in period, then 720 mg PO BID on Days 1-22 of the initial run-in period and on Days 1-28 of each cycle during the triple-combination period. Enrollment to Cohort E is complete.

Group IV: Cohort D: Entrectinib 600 Milligrams (mg)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

This cohort includes participants with c-ros oncogene 1 positive (ROS1+) NSCLC. Participants will receive entrectinib 600 mg orally once a day (QD) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death. Enrollment to Cohort D is complete.

Group V: Cohort C: Atezolizumab 1200 mgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This cohort includes participants with bTMB positive NSCLC. Participants will receive atezolizumab at a dose of 1200 mg administered by IV infusion every 21 days (Q21D) until disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death. Enrollment to Cohort C is complete.

Group VI: Cohort B: Dose Finding Phase (DFP) AlectinibExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This cohort includes participants with rearranged during transfection (RET) positive NSCLC. Participants may receive alectinib 900 or 1200 mg orally BID until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death if the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is not established in any other clinical study. Participants may receive 750 mg or 600 mg, if it is unsafe to pursue the higher starting dose. Enrollment to Cohort B is complete.

Group VII: Cohort B: Dose Expansion Phase (DEP) AlectinibExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This cohort includes participants with RET positive NSCLC. Participants will receive alectinib at the RP2D established in the DFP of Cohort B or a separate clinical study. Participants will continue receiving study treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death. Enrollment to Cohort B is complete.

Group VIII: Cohort A: Alectinib 600 Milligrams (mg)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

This cohort includes participants with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive NSCLC. Participants will receive alectinib 600 mg orally twice in a day (BID) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death. Enrollment to Cohort A is complete.

Group IX: Cohort C: Pemetrexed, Cisplatin or CarboplatinActive Control3 Interventions

This cohort includes participants with bTMB positive, non-squamous NSCLC. Participants will receive 4 or 6 cycles of treatment, with each cycle being 21 days in duration. Carboplatin at a dose of area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of 5 or 6 IV or cisplatin at a dose of 75 milligrams per meter square (mg/m\^2) IV on Day 1 of each cycle combined with pemetrexed at a dose of 500 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 1 of each cycle. Pemetrexed may be continued as maintenance therapy every 21 days (Q21D) as per local standard of care. Enrollment to Cohort C is complete.

Group X: Cohort Z: Natural History CohortActive Control1 Intervention
