A Phase 1/2 interventional study of BNT326 and Pumitamig in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, sponsored by BioNTech SE. Recruiting at 86 sites in 10 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-22.
Sponsored by BioNTech SE · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a multi-site, open-label, dose-finding study, consisting of Parts 1, 2a, and 2b to investigate the combination of BNT326 with pumitamig (also known as BNT327 or PM8002) in participants with relapsed, progressive as well as treatment-naïve, advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This study will enroll adult participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC that is advanced (i.e., either metastatic or recurrent tumors with no known curative treatment available).
The main goals of this study are:
Part 1 is a combination dose finding part. Participants will receive one of six combination DLs to evaluate and establish safe combination DLs of BNT326 with pumitamig, and to define the recommended Phase 2 combination dose.
Part 2a is a dose expansion part to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and tolerability.
Part 2b is a randomized dose optimization and contribution of components part.
Parts 1, Part 2a (Cohort A) and Part 2b (Cohort C) will enroll participants with previous exposure to therapy for advanced/metastatic disease. Part 2a (Cohort B) and Part 2b (Cohort D) will enroll participants without prior systemic treatment for advanced/metastatic disease.
The sponsor, having heard the internal review committee (IRC), will determine the DLs for each arm in Part 2b Cohorts C and D based on data generated from Parts 1 and 2a. The DLs chosen for Part 2b Cohorts C and D will not exceed the highest dose level investigated in this study.
Parts 1 and 2a will be non-randomized. In Part 2b, participants will be randomized to different treatments within each cohort.
The study consists of a screening period, a treatment period, a safety follow-up period, an efficacy follow-up period, and a long-term survival follow-up. Participants will receive study treatment until disease progression, withdrawal of consent, termination of the study by the sponsor, unacceptable toxicity, or for a maximum duration of 24 months, whichever occurs first. If a participant continues to derive clinical benefit after having reached the maximum treatment period of 24 months, continuation of study treatment will be considered on a case-by-case after discussion with the sponsor.
For each study participant, the treatment and follow-up periods are projected to be completed within \~36 months, unless the participant is continuing to benefit from treatment per investigator's recommendation and upon sponsor approval.

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.
PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.
Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.
“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.
HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.
In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
