Trastuzumab Deruxtecan, Pembrolizumab, and Platinum-based Chemotherapy in First-line HER2 Overexpressing Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Short Title: DESTINY


Enrollment Status: Recruiting

NCT #: NCT06899126

Specialty Area: Oncology

Condition Studied: Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Age Groups: Adult; Older Adult

Phase: III


Study Information

Summary / Purpose

To study treatment options for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that overexpresses a protein called HER2 and has not been treated yet in the metastatic setting. This study is comparing an investigational combination of a HER2-targeted treatment called trastuzumab deruxtecan plus an immunotherapy medication called pembrolizumab to the standard combination of chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab. The goal of the study is to understand how well these treatment approaches work and how safe they are when given as first-line treatment.

Study Type: Interventional
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Who Can Participate

Eligibility Criteria:
  • Adults 18+ years of age
  • Diagnosed with unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery), locally advanced (spread to nearby tissues) or metastatic (spread elsewhere in the body) non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that overexpresses HER2 and has PD-L1 expression less than 50 percent
  • Have not yet had systemic treatment for advanced cancer
  • No gene changes with approved first-line therapies

What's Involved

Participation in the study will include:
  • Receiving either a combination of a targeted antibody-drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan plus an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) or standard chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab as their first treatment
  • Regular clinic visits for treatment and monitoring

ER Wait Times

How are wait times calculated?

Our estimated ER wait times reflect the average time from check-in to being seen by a medical professional during triage, where patients are prioritized based on the severity of their condition.
