Brief summary

This study is designed to evaluate the antitumor activity of patritumab deruxtecan in participants with metastatic or locally advanced NSCLC with an activating EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletion or L858R) who have received and progressed on or after at least 1 EGFR TKI and 1 platinum-based chemotherapy-containing regimen.

Detailed description

This study will initially randomize participants to one of 2 arms in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a 5.6 mg/kg fixed dose regimen or an up-titration dose regimen of patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd, U3-1402).

Interventions

DRUGPatritumab Deruxtecan (Fixed dose)

Patritumab deruxtecan will be dosed at 5.6 mg/kg as an intravenous (IV) infusion administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.

DRUGPatritumab Deruxtecan (Up-Titration)

Patritumab deruxtecan will be dosed as an intravenous (IV) infusion administered at Cycle 1, 3.2 mg/kg; Cycle 2, 4.8 mg/kg; Cycle 3 and subsequent cycles, 6.4 mg/kg administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.

Participants must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for inclusion in this study. * Sign and date the tissue informed consent form (ICF) and the main ICF, prior to the start of any study-specific qualification procedures. * Male or female participants aged ≥18 years (follow local regulatory requirements if the legal age of consent for study participation is \>18 years old). * Histologically or cytologically documented locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC not amenable to curative surgery or radiation. * Documentation of radiological disease progression while on/after receiving most recent treatment regimen for locally advanced or metastatic disease. Participants must have received both of the following: * Prior treatment with osimertinib. Participants receiving an EGFR TKI at the time of signing informed consent should continue to take the EGFR TKI until 5 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
