In plain English
This study is looking at whether a combination of two experimental medicines, BNT326 and BNT327, is safe and may help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer. The study includes people whose cancer has spread or come back and who may or may not have had other treatments already.
Who can take part
- Aged 18 or over (or older if local law requires)
- Have advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread or come back and cannot be treated with the aim of a cure
- Have cancer that can be measured on scans
- Are well enough to look after themselves, with only mild or no limits on daily activity (performance status 0 or 1)
- Have organs and bone marrow working well enough, checked by blood tests within 7 days before joining
- For some parts of the study, have already had 1 to 4 courses of treatment for advanced cancer, including certain targeted cancer drugs if your cancer has particular gene changes
- For other parts, have not yet had treatment for advanced cancer (first treatment)
Who may not be able to
- Cancer got worse on, or could not tolerate, earlier treatment targeting HER3 or a certain chemotherapy 'payload' drug (an exception may apply for one part of the study)
- Serious uncontrolled other illness, such as active bleeding, serious infection, or certain liver cirrhosis
- Heart pumping strength below 50% on a heart scan within 28 days before joining
- Fluid build-up around the lungs, heart or in the tummy needing drainage within 2 weeks before joining
- Current or past lung inflammation (interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis) that needed steroids, unless caused by earlier treatment and causing no symptoms
- Cancer spread to the brain that is untreated, causing symptoms, or needing steroids or seizure medicines to control it
- Pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy; or men planning to father a child during the study
- Serious immune-related side effects in the past that made you stop a checkpoint inhibitor drug
- Small bowel blockage needing hospital stay in the past 3 months
- High protein in the urine above a set level
- Certain eye problems affecting the cornea
- Still within a exclusion period from another research study

About This Trial
This is a multi-site, open-label, dose-finding study, consisting of Parts 1, 2a, and 2b to investigate the combination of BNT326 with pumitamig (also known as BNT327 or PM8002) in participants with relapsed, progressive as well as treatment-naïve, advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study will enroll adult participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC that is advanced (i.e., either metastatic or recurrent tumors with no known curative treatment available). The main goals of this study are: 1. To find the best dose levels (DLs) for the combination of BNT326 and pumitamig. 2. To look at how well participants with advanced NSCLC tolerate the combination therapy (for example, which side effects participants experience and how severe they are). 3. To look at how well the combination therapy works to shrink the tumor in participants with advanced NSCLC.
More detail
Part 1 is a combination dose finding part. Participants will receive one of six combination DLs to evaluate and establish safe combination DLs of BNT326 with pumitamig, and to define the recommended Phase 2 combination dose. Part 2a is a dose expansion part to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Part 2b is a randomized dose optimization and contribution of components part. Parts 1, Part 2a (Cohort A) and Part 2b (Cohort C) will enroll participants with previous exposure to therapy for advanced/metastatic disease. Part 2a (Cohort B) and Part 2b (Cohort D) will enroll participants without prior systemic treatment for advanced/metastatic disease. The sponsor, having heard the internal review committee (IRC), will determine the DLs for each arm in Part 2b Cohorts C and D based on data generated from Parts 1 and 2a. The DLs chosen for Part 2b Cohorts C and D will not exceed the highest dose level investigated in this study. Parts 1 and 2a will be non-randomized. In Part 2b, participants will be randomized to different treatments within each cohort. The study consists of a screening period, a treatment period, a safety follow-up period, an efficacy follow-up period, and a long-term survival follow-up. Participants will receive study treatment until disease progression, withdrawal of consent, termination of the study by the sponsor, unacceptable toxicity, or for a maximum duration of 24 months, whichever occurs first. If a participant continues to derive clinical benefit after having reached the maximum treatment period of 24 months, continuation of study treatment will be considered on a case-by-case after discussion with the sponsor. For each study participant, the treatment and follow-up periods are projected to be completed within \~36 months, unless the participant is continuing to benefit from treatment per investigator's recommendation and upon sponsor approval.
