Details and patient eligibility

About

This Phase III, randomized, double-blind study compares the efficacy and safety of SCTB14 versus pembrolizumab as first-line treatment in patients with driver gene-negative, TPS ≥10% locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary objective is to assess superiority of SCTB14 over pembrolizumab in prolonging progression-free survival. Safety will be closely monitored.

Inclusion criteria

Voluntarily sign the written informed consent form prior to screening.
Age ≥ 18 years, both male and female.
ECOG Performance Status score of 0 to 1.
An expected survival of ≥ 3 months.

For subjects with non-squamous cell carcinoma, as well as non-smoking subjects with squamous cell carcinoma containing mixed adenocarcinoma components, confirmation of the absence of EGFR sensitizing mutations or ALK gene rearrangements from tumor tissue is required prior to enrollment.
Subjects must provide a histology sample suitable for PD-L1 testing, with a Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) ≥ 10%.
No prior systemic anti-tumor therapy for the studied disease.
At least one measurable non-CNS lesion according to RECIST v1.1 criteria.
Adequate function of major organs.
