Summary

This trial is studying tusamitamab ravtansine to see how well it works compared with docetaxel in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has come back or spread and express CEACAM5.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with non-squamous NSCLC that has spread, who have already tried platinum-based chemo and immune checkpoint inhibitors. They must have a certain level of CEACAM5 in their tumors and be generally healthy enough to participate (ECOG 0-1). Women and men agree to use effective birth control during the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if tusamitamab ravtansine can improve survival without cancer growth (PFS) or overall survival (OS) better than docetaxel in patients with specific protein levels on their lung cancer cells. It also looks at response rates, quality of life, safety, and how long the response lasts.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to infusion, fatigue, issues affecting organs like liver or kidneys based on previous treatments' toxicity levels. Specific side effects will depend on individual patient health conditions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: SAR408701 (tusamitamab ravtansine)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants received tusamitamab ravtansine 100 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) by intravenous (IV) infusion, once every 2 weeks (Q2W) until objective progressive disease (PD), unacceptable adverse event/toxicity, upon participant's request to stop treatment, or Investigator decision, whichever occurred first (maximum exposure: 147 weeks).
Group II: DocetaxelActive Control1 Intervention
Participants received docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion, once every 3 weeks (Q3W) until objective PD, unacceptable adverse event/toxicity, upon participant's request to stop treatment, or Investigator decision, whichever occurred first (maximum exposure: 115 weeks).
