A Study to Assess Disease Activity and Adverse Events of Intravenous (IV) Telisotuzumab Vedotin Compared to IV Docetaxel in Adult Participants With Previously Treated Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
What this study is about
Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a solid tumor, a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the lung.
View original scientific description
Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a solid tumor, a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the lung. The purpose of this study is to determine if telisotuzumab vedotin works better than docetaxel and to assess how safe telisotuzumab vedotin is in adult participants with NSCLC who have previously been treated. Change in disease activity and adverse events will be assessed.
Interventions
BIOLOGICAL
Telisotuzumab Vedotin
Intravenous (IV) Infusion
DRUG
Docetaxel
IV Infusion
Primary outcome measures
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
Time frame: Up to approximately 39 months
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of radiographic progression based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (v1.1) per BICR or death from any cause.
Overall Survival (OS)
Time frame: Up to approximately 39 months
OS is defined as the time from randomization to the event of 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
- Projected life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
- Participants must have c-Met overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as assessed by an AbbVie designated immunohistochemistry (IHC) laboratory using the VENTANA MET (SP44) RxDx assay.
- Archival or fresh tumor material must be submitted for assessment of c-Met levels during the Pre-Screening period. Tumor material from the primary tumor site and/or metastatic sites are allowed.
- If a participant was prescreened for Study M14-239 but did not enroll, tumor material previously submitted for Study M14-239 may be used for Study M18-868 Pre-Screening upon confirmation from AbbVie that sufficient evaluable tumor material is available (Except China).
- A histologically or cytologically documented non-squamous cell NSCLC that is locally advanced or metastatic.
- A known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation status.
- Actionable alterations in genes other than EGFR .
- Measurable disease

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.
