A Clinical Trial of Calderasib (MK-1084) and Durvalumab in People With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-1084-015/KANDLELIT-015)
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo- and Active-Comparator-Controlled Study of MK-1084 Plus Durvalumab Versus Placebo Plus Durvalumab in Participants With Locally Advanced, Unresected KRAS G12C-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Without Disease Progression Following Definitive Platinum-Based Chemoradiotherapy (KANDLELIT-015)

Brief Summary
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is unresected and has a gene mutation called KRAS G12C. Researchers want to learn if calderasib (MK-1084) can be given with durvalumab, an immunotherapy, to treat NSCLC after chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The goal of this trial is to learn if participants who receive calderasib and durvalumab live longer without the cancer growing or spreading compared to participants who receive placebo and durvalumab.
