Endpoints
PFS is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of radiographically documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Tumor response will be evaluated by BICR based on tumor imaging assessments and determined according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
Inclution Criteria
Consent: Signs and dates the tissue-screening informed consent form (ICF) before any tissue-screening procedures; signs and dates the main ICF before any study-specific eligibility procedures; signs and dates the optional pharmacogenomics (PGx) ICF (included in the main screening ICF) before any PGx procedures; and, where applicable, signs and dates a pregnancy partner ICF.
Age: Adults ≥18 years at the time of ICF signing (or older if local regulations require a higher age of consent).
Disease type and setting: Histologically confirmed, nonsquamous, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC meeting all of the following:
Stage IV NSCLC or Stage IIIB/IIIC disease not suitable at randomization for surgical resection or definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (AJCC 8th edition).
No known actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) (per available local testing) for which an approved first-line targeted therapy is available in the advanced/metastatic setting.
No known HER2 mutation per available testing (if an approved or locally validated test is available).
Note: Participants with mixed histology are eligible if the predominant histology is adenocarcinoma; mixed tumors are classified by the predominant cell type.
Prior systemic therapy: No prior systemic anticancer therapy for advanced/metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC. Prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy—including ICIs (anti–PD-1/PD-L1) or platinum-based regimens—is permitted if the last dose was ≥6 months before the first study dose and there was no disease progression during or within 6 months after completing such therapy. The following prior therapies are not allowed:
a. Any topoisomerase I–targeting chemotherapeutic agents, including antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs).
b. HER2-targeted, antibody-based anticancer therapies.
Tumor tissue: Sufficient, non-irradiated tumor tissue available for central or sponsor-designated laboratory assessment of HER2 and PD-L1 expression. If an adequate archival sample is unavailable, a new biopsy is required.
HER2 status: HER2 overexpression confirmed by a central or sponsor-designated laboratory using the Daiichi Sankyo–specified HER2 assay.
PD-L1 status: PD-L1 TPS <50% confirmed by the central laboratory using PD-L1 22C3 pharmDx.
Performance status: ECOG PS 0–1 assessed within 7 days prior to randomization.
Cardiac function: LVEF ≥50% within 28 days prior to randomization.
Adequate organ and marrow function within 14 days prior to randomization. No transfusions (RBCs or platelets) or G-CSF are allowed from 14 days before marrow assessment through Cycle 1 Day 1.
Bone marrow: Platelets ≥100,000/mm³; Hemoglobin >9.0 g/dL or ≥5.6 mmol/L (without erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and no RBC transfusion within the prior 2 weeks); Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,500/mm³.
Renal: Measured or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥60 mL/min, calculated by the Cockcroft–Gault equation.
Hepatic: ALT/AST ≤2.5 × ULN (or ≤5 × ULN with liver metastases); Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN, or if TBL >1.5 × ULN, then direct bilirubin ≤ ULN; Serum albumin ≥2.5 g/dL.
Coagulation: PT/INR and aPTT/PTT ≤1.5 × ULN, unless on therapeutic anticoagulation, in which case values must be within the intended therapeutic range.
Washout periods prior to randomization/enrollment:
Major surgery: ≥ 4 weeks.
Radiotherapy (including thoracic palliative SBRT): ≥ 4 weeks.
Palliative SBRT to non-thoracic sites: ≥ 2 weeks.
Chloroquine/Hydroxychloroquine: > 14 days.
Reinfusion of cell-free concentrated ascites, paracentesis, or drainage of pleural/peritoneal/pericardial effusions: ≥ 2 weeks before screening assessments.
Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP): Eligible if not pregnant by a high-sensitivity test, not breastfeeding during the intervention period and for ≥7 months after the last dose of study intervention, and agree to use highly effective contraception and not donate ova during the intervention period and for ≥7 months after the last dose. Oocyte cryopreservation may be considered before first dose.
For WOCBP with a male partner capable of fathering a child who uses hormonal contraception, an additional barrier method must be used during treatment and for 7 months after the last dose.
For participants receiving pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, carboplatin, or cisplatin, follow local labeling/institutional guidance if stricter.
Male participants capable of fathering a child: Eligible if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for ≥4 months after the last dose:
No sperm donation (sperm banking may be considered before enrollment/randomization).
Either complete abstinence from penile–vaginal intercourse (consistent with usual lifestyle), or use of a male condom during penile–vaginal intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential plus an additional effective method used by the partner. Contraception must comply with local regulations; if local labeling for any study drug is more stringent, follow local labeling.
No contraception required if azoospermic (vasectomized or medically azoospermic) as verified by site review of medical records/exam/history.
Compliance: Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, dosing plan, laboratory tests, other study procedures, and study restrictions.
CNS metastases: Participants with asymptomatic CNS metastases may enroll if no corticosteroids or antiepileptics (prophylactic antiepileptics allowed) have been required for ≥14 days before the first study intervention. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may enroll if clinically and radiographically stable for ≥4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, with stability confirmed by repeat imaging during screening.
Exclusion Criteria
Participants who meet any of the following conditions will be ineligible for this study:
History of myocardial infarction (MI) within 6 months before randomization/enrollment, or symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF) of NYHA Class II–IV. Participants with elevated troponin levels above the ULN at screening (as defined by the manufacturer) without any MI symptoms must be evaluated by a cardiologist during screening to rule out MI.
Prolonged QTc interval >480 ms, based on the average of three consecutive 12-lead ECGs at screening.
History of (noninfectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis requiring steroids, current ILD/pneumonitis, or suspected ILD/pneumonitis that cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening.

c. No AIDS-defining opportunistic infections or conditions in the past 12 months.
d. On a stable ART regimen for ≥4 weeks prior to Day 1 and willing to continue ART during the study.
Spinal cord compression, symptomatic CNS metastases, or carcinomatous meningitis.
