Open or close this module Study Description
Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to evaluate V940 plus pembrolizumab versus placebo plus pembrolizumab for the adjuvant treatment of completely resected (R0) Stage II, IIIA, IIIB (with nodal involvement [N2]) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary hypothesis is that V940 plus pembrolizumab is superior to placebo plus pembrolizumab with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator.

Open or close this module Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures:
1. Disease- Free Survival (DFS)
[ Time Frame: Up to ~78 months ]

DFS is defined as the time from randomization to any recurrence (local, locoregional, regional or distant), occurrence of new primary NSCLC, as assessed by the investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
1. Overall Survival (OS)
[ Time Frame: Up to ~12 years ]

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
2. Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS)
[ Time Frame: Up to ~12 years ]

DMFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first diagnosis of a distant metastasis as assessed by the investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
3. Lung Cancer Specific Survival (LCSS)
[ Time Frame: Up to ~12 years ]

LCSS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to lung cancer.
4. Change from Baseline in the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)-Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) Global Health Status/Quality of Life (Items 29 and 30) Combined Score
[ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~12 years ]

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to the questions "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" will be scored on a 7-point scale (1= Very poor to 7=Excellent). Using linear transformation, raw scores will be standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a better overall health status. The change from baseline in global health status/quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 Items 29 and 30) combined score will be presented.
5. Change from Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Functioning (Items 1-5) Combined Score on the EORTC QLQ-C30
[ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~12 years ]

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to 5 questions about their physical functioning will be scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). Using linear transformation, raw scores will be standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a worse level of physical functioning. The change from baseline in physical functioning (EORTC QLQ-C30 Items 1-5) combined score will be presented.
6. Change from Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 Role Functioning (Items 6 and 7) Combined Score on the EORTC QLQ-C30
[ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~12 years ]

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to the questions "Were you limited in doing either your work or other daily activities during the past week?" and " Were you limited in pursuing your hobbies or other leisure time activities during the past week?" will be scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). Using linear transformation, raw scores will be standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a worse level of role functioning. The change from baseline in role functioning (EORTC QLQ-C30 Items 6 and 7) combined score will be presented.
7. Change from Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 Dyspnea (Item 8) Score on the EORTC QLQ-C30
[ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~12 years ]

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to the question "Were you short of breath?" will be scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). Using linear transformation, raw scores will be standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a worse level of dyspnea. The change from baseline in dyspnea (EORTC QLQ-C30 Item 8) score will be presented.
8. Change from Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-Lung Cancer Questionnaire (LC24) Coughing (Items 31 and 52) Combined Score on the EORTC QLQ-LC24
[ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~12 years ]

The EORTC QLQ-LC24 is a lung cancer specific health-related quality of life questionnaire. Participant responses to questions about coughing will be scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). Using linear transformation, raw scores will be standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates more coughing. The change from baseline in coughing (EORTC QLQ-LC24 Items 31 and 52) combined score will be presented.
9. Change from Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-LC24 Chest Pain (Item 40) Score on the EORTC QLQ-LC24
[ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~12 years ]

The EORTC QLQ-LC24 is a lung cancer specific health-related quality of life questionnaire. Participant responses to the question "Have you had pain in your chest?" will be scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). Using linear transformation, raw scores will be standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates more chest pain. The change from baseline in chest pain (EORTC QLQ-LC24 Item 40) score will be presented.
10. Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)
[ Time Frame: Up to ~15 months ]

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
11. Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE
[ Time Frame: Up to ~12 months ]

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
