LUNAR-2: Pivotal, Randomized, Open-Label Study of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields, 150 kHz) Concomitant With Pembrolizumab and Platinum-based Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
NovoCure GmbH
Summary
This study, known as LUNAR-2, aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of using TTFields, delivered by the NovoTTF-200T device, concomitantly administered with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The primary goals of the study are to assess overall survival and progression-free survival. Secondary objectives include analyzing outcomes based on the specific histology (subtype) of the lung cancer.
Description
LUNAR-2 is a pivotal, randomized, open-label study that aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) concomitantly administered with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary objectives of the study are to assess overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in subjects treated with TTFields, pembrolizumab, and platinum-based chemotherapy compared to those treated with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy alone. PFS will be evaluated by Response Evaluat…

Interventions
- DeviceNovoTTF-200T
The NovoTTF-200T is a portable, battery operated system intended for continuous home use, which delivers TTFields at a frequency of 150kHz to the subject by means of insulated transducer arrays. TTFields physically disrupt the rapid cell division exhibited by cancer cells. The physical disruption induced by TTFields can lead to to downstream immunogenic cell death.
- DrugPembrolizumab
Pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
- DrugPlatinum based chemotherapy
Platinum-based chemotherapy is a standard chemotherapy regimen commonly used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer
