A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Divarasib and Pembrolizumab Versus Pembrolizumab and Pemetrexed and Carboplatin or Cisplatin in Participants With Previously Untreated, KRAS G12C-Mutated, Advanced or Metastatic Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
(Krascendo 2)
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of divarasib and pembrolizumab compared with pembrolizumab and pemetrexed and carboplatin or cisplatin, for the first-line treatment of adult participants with KRAS G12C-mutated, advanced or metastatic non squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Primary outcome measures
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression, as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR) according to RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first)
Overall Survival (OS)
Time frame: Up to approximately 5 years
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or metastatic non squamous NSCLC that is not eligible for curative surgery and/or definitive chemoradiotherapy
- Measurable disease, as defined by RECIST v1.1
- No prior systemic treatment for advanced or metastatic NSCLC
- Documentation of the presence of a KRAS G12C mutation
- Documentation of known PD-L1 expression status in tumor tissue
- Availability of a representative tumor specimen
- Adequate end-organ function
- Eligible to receive a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen
Exclusion criteria
- Related to NSCLC:
- Known concomitant second oncogenic driver with available targeted treatment
- Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metastases
- Spinal cord compression not definitively treated with surgery and/or radiation or previously diagnosed and treated spinal cord compression without evidence that disease has been clinically stable for \>=2 weeks prior to randomization
- History of leptomeningeal disease
- Uncontrolled tumor-related pain
- Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (once a month or more frequently) Exclusion Criteria Related to Current or Prior Treatments:
- Any anti-cancer systemic therapy, including hormonal therapy, within 21 days prior to randomization, or is expected to require any other form of antineoplastic therapy while in the study
- Radiation therapy including palliative RT to bone metastases within 2 weeks prior to randomization and RT to the lung \>30Gy within 6 months prior to randomization
- Prior treatment with KRAS G12C inhibitors or pan-KRAS/RAS inhibitors
- Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive or immunostimulatory medications, including CD137 agonists and immune checkpoint inhibitors
- Current treatment with medications that are well known to prolong the QT interval
- Treatment with therapeutic oral or IV antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to randomization
- Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation Exclusion Criteria Related to General Health:
- History of malignancy other than NSCLC within 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., 5-year overall survival \[OS\] rate \>90%), such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non melanoma skin carcinoma, localized prostate cancer, ductal breast carcinoma in situ, or Stage I uterine cancer
- Individuals with chronic diarrhea, short bowel syndrome or significant upper gastrointestinal surgery including gastric resection, a history of inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) or any active bowel inflammation (including diverticulitis), malabsorption syndrome, conditions that would interfere with enteral absorption
- History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on the screening chest computed tomography scan
- Significant cardiovascular disease within 3 months prior to screening

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
