Detailed Summary

This study will investigate the utility of biomarker-based triage for study participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without prior systemic therapy. Study participants within groups defined by a biomarker-based classifier (gene expression profile \[GEP\] and tumor mutational burden \[TMB\]) will be randomized to receive pembrolizumab in combination with quavonlimab (MK-1308), favezelimab (MK-4280), or lenvatinib. The primary hypotheses are as follows: In participants receiving pembrolizumab in combination with either quavonlimab, favezelimab, or lenvatinib, the Objective Response Rate (ORR) will be 1) greater than 5% among participants with low GEP and low TMB, 2) greater than 20% among participants with low GEP and high TMB, 3) greater than 20% among participants with high GEP and low TMB, and 4) greater than 45% among participants with high GEP and high TMB.

Arms & Interventions

Pembrolizumab + Lenvatinibexperimental

Participants received pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks (Q3W) intravenously (IV) plus lenvatinib 20 mg orally once daily until disease progression, or until the participant has received 35 administrations of pembrolizumab (approximately 2 years). Participants completing 35 infusions of pembrolizumab may continue with lenvatinib alone until disease progression or toxicity.

Biological: PembrolizumabDrug: Lenvatinib
Pembrolizumab + Quavonlimabexperimental

Participants received pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W IV plus quavonlimab 25 mg every 6 weeks (Q6W) IV until disease progression, or until the participant has received 35 administrations of pembrolizumab (approximately 2 years).

Biological: PembrolizumabDrug: Quavonlimab
Pembrolizumab + Favezelimab 200 mgexperimental

Participants received pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W IV plus favezelimab 200 mg Q3W IV until disease progression, or until the participant has received 35 administrations of pembrolizumab (approximately 2 years).
