Help Advance a Potential Lung Cancer Treatment

Learn more about the PADL1NK-005 clinical trial for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

PADL1NK-005 is exploring a study medicine that is designed to deliver a targeted treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

PD-L1 is a protein found in human cells which stops the body’s immune system from attacking its own healthy cells, but it is also found in some cancers. The PADL1NK-005 clinical trial is exploring a study medicine which is designed to target PD-L1 on tumour cells and deliver an anticancer drug to eliminate them.

Your participation in this clinical trial could help advance a potential medicine for people with NSCLC. Thank you for taking the time to learn more.


Who May Participate

This trial is enrolling adults 18 years of age or older who:

  • Have been diagnosed with advanced NSCLC (Stage IIIB, IIIC or IV)
  • …which has been identified as PD-L1-positive
  • …and which has worsened despite previous treatment

There will be other requirements that the trial team will discuss with you.

Condition

Non-small cell lung cancer

Age

18+ years

Sex

Male or Female

Each clinical trial has its own guidelines for who can participate, called eligibility criteria. However, only the research trial staff can determine if you qualify to enrol in the trial.

What to Expect

You will be assigned by chance to receive either the study medicine or a standard chemotherapy drug called docetaxel which is an established treatment for people with NSCLC. There is no placebo (inactive treatment) in this trial.

The study medicine is given by intravenous infusions (directly into the bloodstream via a small tube and needle) 2 times every 3 weeks. Docetaxel is given by intravenous infusions once every 3 weeks.

The total length of your participation will depend on how you and the cancer respond, any side effects you may experience, and your personal decision to remain in the clinical trial. The maximum duration is 5 years.

Length of study treatment

Depends on how the cancer responds and how well the study medicine is tolerated. The length of study treatment and follow-up may last up to 5 years.

Number of visits

About once or twice every 3 weeks.

Long-term follow up

Visits or calls every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks, then every 12 weeks thereafter.

Frequently Asked Questions

PD-L1 is a protein found in human cells which stops the body’s immune system from attacking its own healthy cells, but it is also found in some cancers. The PADL1NK-005 clinical trial is exploring a study medicine which is designed to target PD-L1 on tumour cells and deliver an anticancer drug to eliminate them.

There are no guaranteed benefits to joining a clinical trial. You will have regular visits to the trial centre and your health and cancer will be closely monitored for the duration of the clinical trial. Participating in clinical trials helps researchers learn more about the disease and advance potential treatment options.

Participant safety is the top priority of this clinical trial. It is possible your condition or health may improve, worsen, or stay the same. Your trial doctor will discuss all the possible risks and benefits of participating with you before you choose to enrol.

Informed consent is one of the most important tools to help you understand how your rights, safety, and well-being will be addressed throughout the trial.

During the informed consent discussion, you will be given all details about the trial, including potential benefits and risks of taking part. You will also be given a document summarising this information, which you will sign to confirm that you would like to take part in the clinical trial.

This clinical trial is controlled, which means a comparison (control) group will be used. A comparator medicine is a “standard of care” or the established treatment that is currently used for people with a disease (such as NSCLC). In this trial, docetaxel is the comparator medicine.

Participants will receive either the study medicine or docetaxel. The study medicine is given by intravenous infusions (directly into the bloodstream via a small tube and needle) 2 times every 3 weeks. Docetaxel is given by intravenous infusions once every 3 weeks.

Participants will be assigned to a treatment group by chance (like flipping a coin) rather than by choice. This is called randomisation, and it is one way to help avoid bias in a clinical trial.
