Brief Summary
This is a multi-site, open-label, dose-finding study, consisting of Parts 1, 2a, and 2b to investigate the combination of BNT326 with pumitamig (also known as BNT327 or PM8002) in participants with relapsed, progressive as well as treatment-naïve, advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study will enroll adult participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC that is advanced (i.e., either metastatic or recurrent tumors with no known curative treatment available). The main goals of this study are:
- 1.To find the best dose levels (DLs) for the combination of BNT326 and pumitamig.
- 2.To look at how well participants with advanced NSCLC tolerate the combination therapy (for example, which side effects participants experience and how severe they are).
- 3.To look at how well the combination therapy works to shrink the tumor in participants with advanced NSCLC.

- Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1.
- Have adequate organ and bone marrow function within 7 days before randomization/enrollment as defined in the protocol.
- Have advanced (i.e., metastatic or locally recurrent where local therapy with curative intent is not possible) non-squamous or squamous NSCLC.
- Part 1, 2L+, squamous or non-squamous NSCLC, AGA-negative/positive, any PD-L1 (NOTE: regimens used as neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant treatment may be considered as prior lines for advanced disease if relapse occurred within 6 months of the last dose.)

- Participants must have received 1 to 3 lines of systemic treatment in the metastatic setting, which can include anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, chemotherapy, and anti-angiogenic agents. These treatments may be administered concurrently or sequentially. However, prior chemotherapy treatment must be limited to 2 lines or less.
- for AGA-positive NSCLC only (excluding EGFR activating mutation):

- Have clinically uncontrolled pleural effusion, ascites or pericardial effusion requiring drainage, peritoneal shunt, or cell-free concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy within 2 weeks prior to randomization/enrollment.
- Have a history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD) /pneumonitis that required steroids, have current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening. Asymptomatic interstitial changes caused by previous radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or other factors such as smoking are acceptable.
- Have had exposure to protocol-specific treatments with a washout period before randomization/enrollment.
- Have clinically active central nervous system metastases, defined as untreated and symptomatic, or requiring therapy with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms.
- Are participants of childbearing potential who are pregnant or breastfeeding or are planning pregnancy within the time specified in the protocol or are potentially fertile males, who are planning to father children during the study or within the time specified in the protocol.
