Pembrolizumab With or Without Maintenance Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (Sac-TMT; MK-2870) in Metastatic Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) [MK-2870-023]
Is NCT06422143 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 3 trial studies multiple treatments for non-small cell lung cancer.
Treatment: Pembrolizumab · sac-TMT · Carboplatin · Paclitaxel · Nab-paclitaxel — This is a phase 3 study of pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin/taxane (paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) followed by pembrolizumab with or without maintenance sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT; MK-2870) in first-line treatment of metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It is hypothesized that pembrolizumab with maintenance sacituzumab tirumotecan is superior to pembrolizumab without sacituzumab tirumotecan maintenance with respect to overall survival (OS).

Cannot have received: systemic chemotherapy
Exception: neoadjuvant/adjuvant/chemoradiation for nonmetastatic NSCLC allowed if completed ≥12 months before diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC
Received prior systemic chemotherapy or other targeted or biological antineoplastic therapy for their metastatic NSCLC. Note: Prior treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation as a part of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy or chemoradiation therapy for nonmetastatic NSCLC is allowed as long as therapy was completed at least 12 months before diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC
Cannot have received: anti-PD-1 therapy
Exception: prior anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 for nonmetastatic NSCLC allowed if completed ≥12 months before diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC
Received prior therapy with an anti-programmed cell death 1 protein (PD-1), anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), or anti programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2) agent, or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or coinhibitory T-cell receptor (eg, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4, OX-40, CD137). Note: Prior treatment with an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 agent for nonmetastatic NSCLC is allowed as long as therapy was completed at least 12 months before diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC
Cannot have received: TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate
Received prior treatment with a trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2)-targeted antidrug conjugate (ADC)
