Ly3537982

Clinical trials are studying Ly3537982 in people with KRAS G12C-mutant cancers, especially non-small cell lung cancer and other advanced solid tumors. These studies look at safety, dose, and how well Ly3537982 works alone or with other cancer treatments. The target groups include people with advanced, resected, or unresectable disease.

Overview of the Ly3537982 trials

Clinical research on Ly3537982 is focused on cancer patients with a specific genetic change called KRAS G12C.[1] The studies look at Ly3537982 as a single treatment and also in combination with other anticancer medicines.[1][2][3]

The trial data show three authorised interventional studies.[1][2][3] Two are large Phase 3 studies in non-small cell lung cancer, and one is an earlier Phase 1/2 study in advanced solid tumors.[1][2][3]

Conditions being studied

One study includes people with KRAS G12C-mutant advanced solid tumors, which means different types of advanced cancers that share the same gene change.[1] The other two studies focus on KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.[2][3]

In the lung cancer studies, one trial includes people with stage IIIB-IIIC or stage IV disease, while another includes people with resected or unresectable disease.[2][3] This shows that the research is aimed at both advanced cancer and different treatment settings in lung cancer.[2][3]

Trial designs and phases

The first study is a Phase 1/2 interventional trial, which is an early research stage that checks safety, dose, and early signs of benefit.[1] It studies Ly3537982 as monotherapy and in combination with other anticancer therapies.[1]

The other two studies are Phase 3 trials, which are larger studies that compare treatment groups and measure how well the treatment works in real patient groups.[2][3] Both Phase 3 studies compare Ly3537982 combinations against placebo-based treatment plans.[2][3]

In the first Phase 3 lung cancer study, the trial has a dose optimization part and a safety lead-in part, which means the researchers are first checking the best dose and early safety before comparing results.[2] In the SUNRAY-02 study, the comparison is Ly3537982 with standard of care medicines versus placebo with the same background treatment.[3]

Who can participate

People can join these studies only if their cancer has the KRAS G12C mutation.[1][2][3] The studies include adults with advanced cancer, and some studies are limited to people with specific lung cancer stages or surgery status.[1][2][3]

One study includes patients with advanced solid tumors, while the lung cancer studies include stage IIIB-IIIC, stage IV, resected, or unresectable non-small cell lung cancer.[1][2][3] This means the trials are not for all cancer patients, but for people with a very specific cancer type and genetic profile.[1][2][3]

What the trials measure

The Phase 1/2 study measures dose-limiting toxicity, other treatment-related safety problems, and antitumor activity.[1] Dose-limiting toxicity means side effects that are serious enough to stop dose increases or limit how much treatment can be given.[1]

That same study also tracks TEAEs, SAEs, deaths, and clinical laboratory abnormalities.[1] TEAEs are treatment-emergent adverse events, meaning medical problems that appear or get worse after treatment starts, and SAEs are serious adverse events.[1]

The Phase 3 lung cancer studies focus on cancer control over time, including progression-free survival and disease-free survival.[2][3] Progression-free survival means the time before the cancer gets worse, and disease-free survival means the time after treatment when no cancer is found.[2][3]

One Phase 3 study also uses RECIST v1.1 by BICR for progression-free survival, which means the cancer is measured using standard rules and reviewed by an independent central team.[2]

Trial-by-trial summary

NCT04956640 is a Phase 1/2 study in people with KRAS G12C-mutant advanced solid tumors.[1] Its goal is to find the recommended Phase 2 dose, check safety and tolerability, and look for antitumor activity when Ly3537982 is used alone or with other cancer treatments.[1]

2023-503412-33-00 is a Phase 3 study in stage IIIB-IIIC or stage IV KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.[2] It compares Ly3537982 with pembrolizumab against placebo with pembrolizumab, and in another part compares Ly3537982 with pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and platinum against the same treatment without Ly3537982.[2]

2024-512302-25-00, also called SUNRAY-02, is a Phase 3 study in resected or unresectable KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.[3] It compares Ly3537982 plus pembrolizumab versus placebo plus pembrolizumab in one part, and Ly3537982 plus durvalumab versus placebo plus durvalumab in another part.[3]

Patient-friendly terms

Interventional study means the researchers give a treatment and then watch what happens.[1][2][3] This is different from a study that only observes people without changing treatment.[1][2][3]

Placebo means a treatment that looks like the study medicine but does not contain the active drug.[2][3] It helps researchers compare results fairly.[2][3]

Standard of care means the usual treatment given for a disease.[3] In SUNRAY-02, Ly3537982 is studied together with standard treatment medicines, so researchers can see if adding it improves results.[3]

Glossary

  • KRAS G12C mutation: A change in a gene found in some cancers. The trials only include cancers with this specific mutation.
  • Advanced solid tumors: Cancers that have spread or are difficult to treat and are not blood cancers.
  • Non-small cell lung cancer: The most common type of lung cancer. It is studied in several of the Ly3537982 trials.
  • Resected: Removed with surgery. In one trial, this means the cancer has been taken out before study treatment.
  • Unresectable: Not able to be removed by surgery.
  • Phase 1/2: Early research that checks safety, dose, and early signs of benefit.
  • Phase 3: A later trial stage that compares treatments in a larger group of people.
  • Placebo: A treatment that looks like the study drug but does not contain the active medicine.
  • Pembrolizumab: An anticancer medicine used in some of the combination study groups.
  • Pemetrexed: An anticancer medicine given by injection in one of the lung cancer studies.
  • Progression-free survival (PFS): The length of time during and after treatment that the cancer does not get worse.
  • Disease-free survival: The length of time after treatment when no sign of cancer is found.
