Summary

This study tested a new drug (tusamitamab ravtansine) combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in 57 people with advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer that has a specific marker (CEACAM5). The goal was to see if the combination was safe and shrank tumors. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited.
