This study will compare the efficacy of the investigational agent sitravatinib in
combination with nivolumab versus docetaxel in patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC
who have previously experienced disease progression on or after platinum-based
chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT03906071.

Sitravatinib (MGCD516) is an orally-available, small molecule inhibitor of a closely
related spectrum of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) including MET, TAM (Tyro3, AXL,
MERTK) family, VEGFR family, PDGFR family, KIT, FLT3, TRK family, RET, DDR2, and selected
EPH family members. Nivolumab is a human IgG monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-1
receptor and selectively blocks the interaction with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, thereby
releasing PD-1 pathway mediated inhibition of the immune response, including anti-tumor
immune response. RTKs have been implicated in mediating an immunosuppressive tumor
microenvironment, which has emerged as a potential resistance mechanism to checkpoint
inhibitor therapy. Inhibition of these RTKs by sitravatinib may augment anti-tumor immune
response and improve outcomes by overcoming resistance to checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
