About This Trial

The purpose of the study is to compare how the new combination treatment (Sigvotatug Vedotin plus pembrolizumab) works compared to pembrolizumab alone in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high levels of PD-L1. This is a protein that acts as a kind of "brake" to keep the body's immune responses under control. The study is seeking for participants who: * Are confirmed to have NSCLC (Stage 3 or 4). * Have PD-L1 levels in more than 50% of the cancer cells. All participants in this study will receive pembrolizumab at the study clinic once every 6 weeks as an intravenous (IV) infusion (give directly into a vein). In addition, half of the participants will also receive Sigvotatug Vedotin once every 2 weeks as an IV infusion in addition to receiving pembrolizumab. Participants may receive pembrolizumab for up to about two years. Those participants taking Sigvotatug Vedotin can continue until their NSCLC is no longer responding. The study team will monitorsee how each participant is doing with the study treatment during regular visits at the clinic.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 714 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Participants must meet the following criteria: 1. Have pathologically confirmed Stage IIIB or IIIC NSCLC and not be a candidate for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation, or Stage IV NSCLC per the AJCC Staging Manual (Version 8.0) and the UICC Staging System (Eighth edition). 2.

Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Life expectancy of \<3 months in the opinion of the investigator. 2. Any medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or make the participant inappropriate for the study. 3.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
