About this trial

This is a Phase II, multisite, open-label study consisting of two parts in participants with advanced/metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) which progressed after a first-line chemoimmunotherapy to evaluate the combination of pumitamig (also known as BNT327, BMS-986545 or PM8002) with standard of care.

Part 1 is a safety run-in with pumitamig (Dose 1 or Dose 2) plus docetaxel and will include up to 12 participants in total to be treated in Part 1A and 1B sequentially.

Part 2 is a dose expansion at the deemed safe dose of pumitamig plus docetaxel and will include up to 54 participants.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV NSCLC that has documented radiographic progression on one or after one prior line of systemic treatment (programmed death-1 [PD-1]/ programmed death ligand-1 [PD-L1] inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy concomitantly) in advanced/metastatic setting per the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system, 9th edition.

Participants must have received minimum two cycles of immunotherapy in first-line treatment to be eligible to this study.

Only one prior line of immunotherapy containing regimen is allowed in an advanced/metastatic setting. If participant had received adjuvant immunotherapy the disease-free interval (after the last dose of adjuvant immunotherapy) should be at least 6 months.

Historical PD-L1 results must be available.

Disqualifiers

Have a known or suspected hypersensitivity to the study treatments, their metabolites or formulation of excipients including polysorbate 80 (see Docetaxel label).

Participants who received prior treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody, or anti-PD-(L)-1/aVEGF bispecific antibody or docetaxel as monotherapy or in combination with other agents.

Have received more than one prior lines of therapies in advanced/metastatic setting.

Have received systemic corticosteroids (at a dosage greater than 10 mg/day of prednisone or an equivalent dose of other corticosteroids) within 7 days prior to the initiation of study treatment (except for docetaxel premedication). Note: local, intranasal, intraocular, intra-articular or inhaled corticosteroids, short term use (≤7 days) of corticosteroids for prophylaxis (e.g., prevention of contrast agent allergy) or treatment of non autoimmune conditions (e.g., delayed hypersensitivity reactions caused by exposure to allergens) are allowed.
