Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment involving an immunotherapy drug and chemo for patients with NSCLC. The objective is to improve overall survival and compare it to standard chemo treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who haven't had systemic treatment for metastatic or recurrent disease. Participants must have a performance status indicating they can care for themselves and an expected lifespan of at least 3 months. They should not be candidates for chemoradiation, have measurable lesions, and specifically in Part 1, less than 50% PD-L1 tumor expression.
What is being tested?
The study tests combinations of Cemiplimab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) with chemotherapy against platinum-based doublet chemotherapy alone. It aims to see if these combinations improve overall survival and slow down the progression of NSCLC compared to standard chemo, considering different levels of PD-L1 expression in tumors.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions that may cause inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions similar to allergic responses during drug administration, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea, blood disorders such as anemia or clotting problems, and increased risk of infections.
