Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) Versus Chemotherapy in Previously Treated Advanced or Metastatic Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With EGFR Mutations or Other Genomic Alterations (MK-2870-004)

Comparing MK-2870 and chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer with mutations.

Phase 3

This study is testing a new treatment called **sacituzumab tirumotecan** against chemotherapy for people with a specific type of lung cancer, called **non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)**. NSCLC is a type of cancer that starts in the lungs. The study includes people who have certain changes in their genes, like **EGFR mutations**. EGFR mutations are changes in a gene that can make cancer grow faster. The researchers want to see if sacituzumab tirumotecan helps people live longer without their cancer getting worse, compared to chemotherapy.

  • The study involves multiple visits to the clinic.
  • Participants might receive a new treatment that could work better than current options.
  • Some risks may include side effects from the new treatment.

Participants need to have been treated before, but their cancer has worsened. They must have a certain health level and cannot have some other health problems like severe heart disease or active infections. If someone has a different type of lung cancer or hasn't tried some previous treatments, they might not qualify. This study offers a chance to try a new treatment that could potentially be more effective than current ones for certain gene changes in lung cancer.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
