Non-small Cell Lung Cancer study: Calderasib vs Durvalumab

Official title A Clinical Trial of Calderasib (MK-1084) and Durvalumab in People With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-1084-015/KANDLELIT-015)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07554339

What this study is testing

What is Calderasib?

An investigational oral tablet being studied for locally advanced non‑small cell lung cancer with a KRAS G12C mutation.

Also referred to as MK‑1084.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The study wants to see if the combination of calderasib and durvalumab keeps cancer from growing or spreading longer than placebo with durvalumab.
Who it's for
Adults with locally advanced non‑small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation and has not been surgically removed.
What's involved
Participants will receive either the drug combination or a placebo, along with the immunotherapy durvalumab, and will have regular visits and tests to monitor the cancer.
Time commitment
The trial lasts about 2 years, with scheduled clinic visits and tests throughout the study period.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
