phase 3 clinical study of ak112 for nsclc patients

Conditions: Non-Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary: a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, phase iii clinical study of ak112 or placebo combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin in patients with egfr-mutant locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who have failed to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (egfr-tki) treatment

the trial will be performed as a randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial to compare ak112 plus pemetrexed and carboplatin to placebo plus pemetrexed and carboplatin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) harboring. approximately 320 subjects will be randomized to the two treatment at the ratio of 1:1. each enrolled subject will receive an intravenous infusion of the ak112/placebo plus pemetrexed and carboplatin （q3w,up to 4 cycles）in treatment periods per the randomization schedule. afterward, ak112/ placebo plus pemetrexed will be used for maintenance treatment (administered on day 1 of each cycle, q3w) up to 2 years.
