Abstract CT282: MK-2870-004: A phase 3 study of MK-2870 (SKB264) versus chemotherapy for previously treated advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with <i>EGFR</i> mutations or other genomic alterations

Abstract
Abstract Background: Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2), a cell surface glycoprotein involved in the regulation of tumor growth and invasion, is broadly expressed and upregulated in several cancers, including NSCLC. MK-2870 (SKB264) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of the humanized anti-TROP2 monoclonal antibody, a hydrolytically cleavable linker, and the cytotoxic drug KL610023. MK-2870 has demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity and manageable toxicity in phase 1 and 2 studies of patients with solid tumors, including heavily pretreated EGFR-mutant NSCLC. We describe the design of the ongoing phase 3 MK-2870-004 study (NCT06074588) that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MK-2870 vs chemotherapy for previously treated advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC with EGFR mutations or other genomic alterations. Trial design: The global, randomized, open-label, phase 3 MK-2870-004 study will enroll ~556 patients, including 456 with exon 19del or L858R EGFR mutations, and 100 with other genomic alterations. Eligible patients are aged ≥18 years with histologically or cytologically documented advanced (stage III not eligible for resection or curative radiation) or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC with exon 19del or exon 21 L858R EGFR mutations or other genomic alterations in ALK, ROS1, BRAF V600E, NTRK, MET exon 14 skipping, or RET and those with less common EGFR mutations (exon 20 S768I, exon 21 L861Q, and/or exon 18 G719X). Patients must have progressive disease on or after 1 or 2 lines of prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy and a platinum-based therapy (may contain anti-PD-[L]1), measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, an available tumor sample, and adequate organ function. Prior EGFR TKI therapy must include a third-generation TKI for patients with T790M EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Patients with active central nervous system metastases or carcinomatous meningitis are ineligible, although those with previously treated and untreated stable brain metastasis are eligible for enrollment. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to MK-2870 4 mg/kg Q2W on Days 1, 15, and 29 of every 6-week cycle, or chemotherapy (docetaxel 75 mg/m2 Q3W or pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 Q3W) on Days 1 and 22 of every 6-week cycle. Randomization will be stratified by EGFR mutations with prior third generation TKI vs EGFR mutations with no prior third generation TKI vs other genomic alterations, brain metastasis (yes vs no), and TROP2 expression (low vs medium vs high). Dual primary endpoints are PFS (per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review) and OS in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Key secondary endpoints include PFS and OS in all patients with NSCLC, ORR, DOR, patient-reported outcomes, and safety. Enrollment started in November 2023 and is currently ongoing.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
