Datopotamab (DS-1062a) in Advanced and/or Unresectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DS-1062a in participants with metastatic, unresectable NSCLC having progressed on one, but not more than three previous standard therapies. Moreover, the immune effects, the predictors of resistance and response to treatment, the effect of the chemotherapy on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication will be assessed and will help identify the subgroups that will mostly benefit from the treatment. The pharmacokinetics of the product and the anti-drug antibody (ADA) will be also evaluated. A total of 100 participants are planned to be included in the study. Participants will receive, every three weeks, a dose of DS-1062a equivalent to 6 mg/kg of body weight until progression or until unacceptable toxicity. Tumor evaluation will be performed every six weeks by the mean of a computed tomography for the thorax, abdomen and pelvis (TAP CT-scan) or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain and/or bone CT scans will be also performed throughout the study for participants with brain and/or bone metastasis. The safety of the product will be assessed at each cycle, through complete clinical exams, biological tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), cardiac echographies (ECHOs) and through the collection of ongoing toxicities or adverse events.
