A Phase 2 Precision Oncology Study of Biomarker-Directed, Pembrolizumab-(MK-3475, SCH 900475) Based Combination Therapy for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (KEYNOTE-495; KeyImPaCT)
This study will investigate the utility of biomarker-based triage for study participants with
advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without prior systemic therapy. Study
participants within groups defined by a biomarker-based classifier (gene expression profile
[GEP] and tumor mutational burden [TMB]) will be randomized to receive pembrolizumab in
combination with MK-1308, MK-4280, or lenvatinib. The primary hypotheses are as follows: In
participants receiving pembrolizumab in combination with either MK-1308, MK-4280, or
lenvatinib, the Objective Response Rate (ORR) will be 1) greater than 5% among participants
with low GEP and low TMB, 2) greater than 20% among participants with low GEP and high TMB,
3) greater than 20% among participants with high GEP and low TMB, and 4) greater than 45%
among participants with high GEP and high TMB.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Has a histologically- or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV (American Joint
Committee on Cancer [AJCC] v 8) NSCLC and has not had prior systemic therapy for
advanced disease
- Has confirmation that epidermal growth factor receptor- (EGFR-), anaplastic lymphoma
kinase- (ALK-), c-ros oncogene 1- (ROS1-), or B isoform of rapidly accelerated
fibrosarcoma- (B-Raf-) directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy

≥120 days, after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm
during this period. Male participants with pregnant partners must agree to use a
condom
- Female participants eligible to participate if not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and
not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or is a WOCBP who agrees to follow
contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for ≥120 days after the last
dose of study treatment
- Provided archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a
tumor lesion not previously irradiated
- Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1

Exclusion Criteria:
- Has significant cardiovascular impairment within 12 months of the first dose of study
drug: history of congestive heart failure greater than New York Heart Association
(NYHA) Class II, unstable angina, myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident
(CVA) stroke, or cardiac arrhythmia associated with hemodynamic instability,
significant cardiovascular impairment, or a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
below the institutional normal range as determined by multigated acquisition scan

prior to starting therapy
- Gastrointestinal malabsorption, gastrointestinal anastomosis, or any other condition
that might affect the absorption of lenvatinib

- Active hemoptysis (bright red blood of at least 0.5 teaspoon) or tumor bleeding within
3 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug
- Has received prior systemic chemotherapy treatment for metastatic/recurrent NSCLC
- Has current NSCLC disease that can be treated with curative intent with surgical
resection, localized radiotherapy, or chemoradiation
- Is expected to require any other form of systemic or localized antineoplastic therapy
while on study (including maintenance therapy with another agent for NSCLC, radiation
therapy, and/or surgical resection)
- Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with
an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T cell receptor
- Has received previous treatment with another agent targeting the Lymphocyte-activation
gene 3 (LAG-3) receptor

(VEGF) or the VEGF receptor

prior to randomization
- Has received prior radiotherapy within 3 weeks of start of study treatment
- Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study treatment
- Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational
agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of
study treatment.
- Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy
(in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of
immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior the first dose of study treatment
- Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment
within the past 3 years
- Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous
meningitis
- Has severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to pembrolizumab, MK-4280, or lenvatinib and/or
any of its excipients
- Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years
(i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive
drugs)
- Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current
pneumonitis
