Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Metastatic |
Subjects will receive pembrolizumab 200 mg combined with pemetrexed and platinum (investigator's choice of cisplatin or carboplatin), as indicated below:
Pembrolizumab 200 mg + pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 (with vitamin supplementation) + cisplatin 75 mg/m2 OR carboplatin AUC 5, all on Day 1 every 3 weeks (Q3W) for 4 cycles followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg + pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 Q3W until progression.
Treatment with pembrolizumab and pemetrexed will continue until 35 trial treatments have been administered, documented disease progression or unacceptable adverse event(s).
Patients will be stratified according to clinical and histopathological parameters: 1. PD-L1 status (PD-L1 >/= 1 or <1) 2. Age < 65 vs => 65 3. Smoking history yes vs no 4. Platinum chemotherapy: cisplatin vs. carboplatin 5. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs).
TCR repertoire clonality and diversity will serve as an assessment measure for treatment response, along with PET/CT-scans, tumor exomal profile and ctDNA dynamics.

- Objective Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1 - correlated to TCR repertoire data, such as clonality/diversity. [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
ORR defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator.
By integrating serial TCR repertoire sequencing (Rep-seq) of NSCLC patients treated with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy regimens we aim to capture the temporal clonality and diversity dynamics with the disease response.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) correlated with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), by measurement of variant allele frequency (VAF). [ Time Frame: 5 years ]To capture the VAF in ctDNA, and correlate it with response to therapy evaluated by ORR per RECIST 1.1. We will capture its dynamics throughout blood samples collected longitudinally (pre-and during treatment).

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Histologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC non-squamous stage IV or stage III, according to AJCC v8 that are not amenable for definitive therapy will be enrolled in this study.
Patients have not previously received systemic therapy for advanced disease and in whom directed therapy is not indicated.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the trial.
- Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
- Archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained [core, incisional or excisional] biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated has been provided.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.
- Adequate organ function.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Aberration in a known targetable molecular driver.
- Received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti PD L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor.
- Received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy for metastatic disease.
- Received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention.
- Major surgery within 14 days.
- Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy.
- Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years.
- Known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated or asymptomatic brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable.
