Summary

Researchers want to learn if the study medicines calderasib and subcutaneous (SC) pembrolizumab can be used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) when given together. Calderasib is a targeted therapy for the KRAS G12C mutation. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive calderasib with SC pembrolizumab live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than in people who receive SC pembrolizumab with chemotherapy.
