Study Summary

This study aims to evaluate the antitumor activity and safety of JDQ443 single-agent as first-line treatment for participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors harbor a KRAS G12C mutation and have a PD-L1 expression < 1% (cohort A) or a PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% and an STK11 co-mutation (cohort B).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Key Inclusion criteria

  • Histologically confirmed locally advanced (stage IIIb/IIIc not eligible for definitive chemoradiation or surgical resection with curative intent) or metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC without previous systemic treatment for metastatic disease. Prior (neo)adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy, or prior radiotherapy administered sequentially or concomitantly with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy for localized or locally advanced disease are accepted if the time between therapy completion and enrollment is > 12 months.

  • Presence of a KRAS G12C mutation (all participants) and:

  • Cohort A: PD-L1 expression < 1%, regardless of STK11 mutation status

  • Cohort B: PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% and an STK11 co-mutation

  • At least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1.

  • ECOG performance status ≤ 1.

  • Participants capable of swallowing study medication.

Key Exclusion criteria

  • Participants whose tumors harbor an EGFR-sensitizing mutation and/or ALK rearrangement by local laboratory testing. Participants with other known druggable alterations will be excluded, if required by local guidelines

  • Previous use of a KRAS G12C inhibitor or previous systemic treatment for metastatic NSCLC.

  • A medical condition that results in increased photosensitivity (i.e., solar urticaria, lupus erythematosus, etc.).

  • Known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis

  • Participants who are taking a prohibited medication (strong CYP3A inducers) that cannot be discontinued at least seven days prior to the first dose of study treatment and for the duration of the study.

Other inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Study Description

This is a non-randomized, open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase II study evaluating the antitumor activity and safety of JDQ443 single-agent as first-line treatment for participants with locally advanced or metastatic KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC.

The study will have 2 non-comparative cohorts that will recruit participants in parallel according to the following characteristics:

  • Cohort A: participants whose tumors harbor a KRAS G12C mutation and a PD-L1 expression < 1%, regardless of STK11 mutation status.

  • Cohort B: participants whose tumors harbor a KRAS G12C mutation, a PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% and an STK11 co-mutation.

The study treatment begins on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) with the first administration of JDQ443. One treatment cycle consists of 21 (±3) days.

Study completion is defined as the earliest occurrence of one of the following:

  • The last participant completes last study visit (and the assessments associated with this visit have been documented and followed-up appropriately by the Investigator), dies, withdraws consent, or is lost to follow-up, whichever comes first.]

  • In the event of an early study termination decision, the date of that decision.

  • Another clinical study becomes available that can continue to provide JDQ443 to study participants and all participants with ongoing treatment are transferred to that clinical study.
