Conclusions • SG + Pembro demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity in patients with 1L mNSCLC across PD-L1 subgroups ‒ ORR was 69% and DCR was 86% in Cohort A ‒ ORR was 44% and DCR was 78% in Cohort B ‒ Median DOR was not reached, and DOR rate at 6 months was 88% in both cohorts • The safety profile of SG + Pembro was manageable and consistent with the known safety of each agent ‒ The most common any-grade TEAEs were diarrhea, anemia, and asthenia ‒ TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation were low (18%) • These preliminary results warrant further investigation of SG + Pembro for the 1L treatment of mNSCLC ‒ The ongoing, open-label, global, randomized, phase 3 EVOKE-03 study (NCT05609968) is evaluating SG + Pembro versus Pembro monotherapy in patients with untreated 1L mNSCLC with PD-L1 TPS ≥ 50%
