Brief summary
This is a study evaluating the efficacy and safety of calderasib with pembrolizumab as first-line treatment in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with identified Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog G12C (KRAS G12C) mutation and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥50%. There is one primary study hypothesis: Combination of calderasib and pembrolizumab is superior to placebo plus pembrolizumab with respect to progression free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR).
Detailed description
Per Protocol Amendment 04, overall survival (OS) was moved to be a secondary outcome measure. Additionally, no new participants will be offered Second Course treatment for pembrolizumab.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Progression-Free Survival (PFS) | Up to approximately 42 months | PFS is defined as the time from randomization until either documented disease progression per Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR) will be presented. |
Secondary
