Ivonescimab Alone And With Carboplatin/Pemetrexed For NSCLC

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of ivonescimab monotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer harboring actionable genomic alterations who have received prior targeted therapies and chemotherapy. This clinical trial also aims to assess the efficacy of ivonescimab plus carboplatin/pemetrexed chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer harboring actionable genomic alterations other than epidermal growth factor receptor mutations who have received prior targeted therapies but no chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will ivonescimab alone or together with carboplatin/pemetrexed chemotherapy shrink tumors in the clinical trial's patients? * Will ivonescimab alone or together with carboplatin/pemetrexed chemotherapy effectively influence if the patients' cancer grows, how long the treatment takes to start working, how long the treatment keeps working after it first starts to help, how long the treatment keeps the cancer from getting worse, and overall survival of patients? * How many patients receiving ivonescimab alone or together with carboplatin/pemetrexed chemotherapy will experience treatment-emergent, treatment-related, immune-related, and especially interesting side effects? Patients receiving ivonescimab alone will receive an intravenous infusion of ivonescimab every 3 weeks for up to 24 months. Patients receiving ivonescimab together with carboplatin/pemetrexed chemotherapy will receive separate intravenous infusions of ivonescimab, pemetrexed, and carboplatin every 3 weeks for 4 cycles (each cycle is 21 days). These patients will continue to receive infusions of ivonescimab and pemetrexed every 3 weeks for up to 24 total months.

Comprehensive Demographics and Clinical Profile of NSCLC Patients

Advances in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer in the last decade have been significant. Currently, there are several first-line therapeutic options. The molecular biology of the disease, biomarkers and the patient's clinical characteristics can assist in decision making. The study in question aims to retrospectively evaluate the patterns of choice in the first line treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer without driver mutations, from 2019 to 2022 in 7 centers in Brazil.
