Brief Summary:
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab versus platinum-based SoC chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC in patients who are epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) wild-type and with PD-L1 high expression (PEARL)

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma NSCLC Drug: Durvalumab (MEDI4736) Drug: Paclitaxel + carboplatin Drug: Gemcitabine + cisplatin Drug: Gemcitabine + carboplatin Drug: Pemetrexed + cisplatin Drug: Pemetrexed + carboplatin Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Patients with stage IV NSCLC will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 2 treatment arms (durvalumab or SOC therapy). The dual primary objectives of this study are to assess the efficacy of durvalumab versus SoC in terms of OS (Overall Survival) in all randomized patients and in patients who are at low risk of EM (early mortality)
