This study examines adding the anti-cancer drug Berzosertib (M6620, VX-970) to standard chemotherapy (Carboplatin and Gemcitabine) and to Pembrolizumab in patients with advanced squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer. It enrolled patients aged 18 and older with measurable disease who had not previously received systemic therapy for metastatic disease. It is in Phase 1/Phase 2 and is currently active but not recruiting participants.
The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
Criteria are reproduced from the ClinicalTrials.gov record in the original English. Only the trial team can determine eligibility.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have histologically confirmed NSCLC of predominantly squamous cell histology, stage IV (American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\] 8th edition) * Patients must have measurable disease, as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 * Patients must have tumor tissue available at time of enrollment, or be willing to undergo a biopsy for integrated biomarker studies * Patients with a history of prior platinum-based systemic chemotherapy given as neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or consolidation therapy for early stage or loco-regionally advanced NSCLC are eligible, if therapy is completed one year prior to initiation of treatment. Patients must not have had prior systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy for metastatic disease * Patients with prior immunotherapy given as neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or consolidation therapy for early stage or loco-regionally advanced disease are eligible, if treatment is completed one year prior to initiation of treatment * Patients must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1 (Karnofsky \> 60%) * Age \>= 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of these drug combinations in patients \< 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be eligible for future pediatric trials * Leukocytes \>= 3,000/mcL * Absolute neutrophil count \> lower limit of normal (LLN) * Platelets \> LLN * Total bilirubin =\< institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 3 x institutional ULN * Creatinine =\< institutional ULN OR glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 unless data exists supporting safe use at lower kidney function values, no lower than 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 * Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are eligible if they are on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months, provided there is no expected drug-drug interaction * Patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are eligible if the HBV viral load is undetectable on suppressive therapy (if indicated), provided there is no expected drug-drug interaction * Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are eligible if they have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load * Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if clinically stable, i.e., on stable doses of anti-convulsant therapy and/or stable doses of corticosteroids which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid * Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial * Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better * Patients must be willing to comply with birth control requirements: The effects of the agents in this study (or similar agents) on the developing human fetus are either unknown, or known to be teratogenic, embryotoxic, and fetotoxic in mice and rabbits. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 6 months after completing treatment administration. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to avoid donating sperm for during the study period, and to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and for 6 months after completion completing treatment administration * Patients must have the ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Participants with impaired decision-making capacity who have a legally-authorized representative and/or family member available will also be eligible Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with severe intercurrent illness or comorbidity are not eligible * Patients with contraindications to immunotherapy (e.g., solid organ transplant or active autoimmune disease requiring immunosuppressant therapy within 2 years of enrollment) are not eligible * Patients with prior systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease are not eligible * Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents are not eligible * Patients with a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to berzosertib (M6620, VX-970), pembrolizumab, gemcitabine, carboplatin, or other agents used in study are not eligible * Patients with severe bone marrow depression or significant bleeding are not eligible * Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements are not eligible * Berzosertib (M6620, VX-970) is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4; therefore, concomitant administration with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g. clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, HCV and HIV protease inhibitors, nefazodone, posaconazole, telithromycin, voriconazole) or strong inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g. carbamazepine, rifampin, phenobarbital, phenytoin, St. John's wort) should be avoided. Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product * Pregnant women are excluded from this study because the agents in this study may have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with the study agents, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with the study agents berzosertib (M6620, VX-970), pembrolizumab, gemcitabine, or carboplatin * Berzosertib (M6620, VX-970) should be used with caution in patients with clinical evidence of germline defects in their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage repair pathway (for example, patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome or ataxia telangiectasia) due to a possible increase in the toxicity of DNA-damaging agents when paired with berzosertib (M6620, VX-970) * Patients must not have received or be scheduled to receive radiation therapy within 7 days or less from gemcitabine administration * Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of pembrolizumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid * Patients must not have received an allogeneic stem cell transplant * Patients must not have active, uncontrolled infections or recently received active vaccinations
