Summary

This trial will compare how effective amivantamab is at treating NSCLC with EGFR Exon 20ins mutations, compared to chemotherapy alone. The metric for success is progression-free survival (PFS).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific mutation called EGFR Exon 20 insertion. They must have measurable disease, be in good physical condition (ECOG status 0 or 1), and agree to genetic tests of their tumor. Women who can have children must test negative for pregnancy.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of Amivantamab combined with Carboplatin-Pemetrexed chemotherapy versus just the chemotherapy alone. The main goal is to see which treatment stops the cancer from progressing longer.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site, fatigue, nausea, low blood counts increasing infection risk, potential lung problems like pneumonitis or ILD, and allergic reactions to components of the therapy.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm B: Chemotherapy AloneExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive pemetrexed 500 mg/m\^2 IV infusion (with vitamin supplementation) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, in combination with carboplatin for up to 4 cycles, and then as maintenance monotherapy until disease progression. Carboplatin AUC 5 IV infusion will be administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 4 cycles. Following the primary analysis for efficacy, the study will transition to an OLE phase and participants will either continue to receive the chemotherapy or cross over to amivantamab in OLE phase. Participants who completed OLE period will enter LTE period and continue to receive same treatment.
Group II: Arm A: Amivantamab + ChemotherapyExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will receive pemetrexed 500 milligram per meter square (mg/m\^2) intravenous (IV) infusion (with vitamin supplementation) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, in combination with carboplatin for up to 4 cycles, and then as maintenance monotherapy until disease progression. Carboplatin area under the concentration-time curve 5 milligram per milliliter (mg/mL) per minute (AUC 5) will be administered as IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle, for up to 4 cycles. Participants will receive amivantamab 1400 mg (1750 mg if body weight is \>=80 kilogram \[kg\]) by IV infusion once weekly up to Cycle 2 Day 1, then 1750 mg (2100 mg if body weight is \>=80 kg) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, starting with Cycle 3. Following the primary analysis for efficacy, the study will transition to an OLE phase and participants will continue to receive the amivantamab plus chemotherapy in OLE phase. Participants who completed OLE period will enter LTE period and continue to receive same treatment.
