Overview

TRITON (NCT06008093) is a Phase 2b randomized U.S. trial testing whether dual checkpoint blockade with tremelimumab (anti-CTLA-4) + durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) + platinum chemotherapy outperforms pembrolizumab + chemotherapy as first-line treatment in non-squamous metastatic NSCLC patients carrying STK11, KEAP1, and/or KRAS mutations — a subgroup historically associated with poor response to single-agent anti-PD-1 therapy. The trial is led by Ferdinandos Skoulidis, MD PhD (MD Anderson). Interim analysis was presented as a Rapid Oral at #ASCO26 (Abstract 8515) on May 30, 2026; the primary endpoint of PFS remains blinded.

Study Design

Phase 2b randomized, open-label U.S. trial. 84 patients randomized at the November 2025 data cut-off (full target enrollment 100 per CT.gov). Primary endpoint PFS remains blinded at this interim analysis.

Population

Treatment-naïve metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with STK11, KEAP1, and/or KRAS mutations — a population historically resistant to anti-PD-1 monotherapy and chemo-IO combos.

Intervention

Experimental: Tremelimumab + Durvalumab + platinum-pemetrexed chemo. Control: Pembrolizumab + platinum-pemetrexed chemo.

Endpoints (per CT.gov)

Primary: PFS (randomized; 6-mo; 12-mo) — BLINDED at IA. Secondary: OS (12/24-mo; overall + mutation subset), ORR, DoR, TFST, AEs. Interim reported ORR, DoR, and Grade 3/4 AE rates.

Reported Interim Results

INVESTIGATIONALPhase 2b · Interim · Primary PFS endpoint remains blinded

TRITON is an investigational trial. The interim readout at #ASCO26 reports secondary endpoints (ORR, DoR) only — the primary endpoint of progression-free survival is still blinded. KOLs (e.g. @Alfdoc2) have flagged the interpretive limit of reading into ORR/DoR while PFS is unavailable.

Objective Response Rate (Secondary)

Confirmed ORR was 39.0% with T+D+CT vs 34.9% with P+CT (95% CI 24.1–54.0 vs 20.6–49.1 — single-source OncUpdates) — confidence intervals overlap substantially in the overall population. In the prespecified KRAS-mutant subgroup, ORR was 48.0% vs 33.3%, numerically favoring the dual-checkpoint arm. STK11- and KEAP1-only subgroup ORRs were reported on the Skoulidis slide but are not in any indexed public recap and should be read from the slide deck above.

Duration of Response (Secondary)

Median DoR was not reached (NR) with T+D+CT vs 6.4 months with P+CT. At the 6-month landmark, 100% of responders in the T+D+CT arm remained in response vs 58.3% in the P+CT arm — the most differentiated efficacy signal in the interim readout. Both numbers are independently confirmed across two sources.

Progression-Free Survival (Primary — BLINDED)

The primary endpoint of PFS remains blinded to the sponsor at this interim analysis — the data are too immature to evaluate. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, the trial's primary endpoints are PFS in randomized participants, PFS at 6 months, and PFS at 12 months. As @GlopesMd noted: "ORR within noise (39% vs 35%) but durability." @Alfdoc2 flagged the limit of interpreting secondary endpoints while PFS is blinded.

PFS BLINDED at interim · primary endpoint per CT.govSources: OncoDaily · OncUpdates · ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06008093 — all confirm PFS is primary and blinded at IA

Overall Survival (Secondary — Immature)

OS data are too immature to evaluate at this interim. OS at 12 and 24 months — both overall and in the STK11/KEAP1/KRAS mutation subset — are prespecified secondary endpoints per ClinicalTrials.gov. (Note: one secondary source — GeneOnline — incorrectly labels OS as the trial's primary endpoint; CT.gov, OncoDaily, OncUpdates, and the AstraZeneca ASCO 2026 schedule all confirm PFS is primary.)

OS Not reported at IA · immatureSources: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06008093 · OncoDaily · OncUpdates

Safety & Tolerability

Grade 3/4 adverse events were broadly comparable between arms: 41.5% with T+D+CT vs 41.9% with P+CT (dual-confirmed). Additional safety detail (single-source OncoDaily): treatment-related AEs leading to discontinuation 2.4% vs 4.7%; treatment-related deaths 0% vs 2.3%. Specific immune-mediated AE rates are not in any indexed source and should be read from the Skoulidis slide deck above. KOL recaps from @SuyogCancer, @HHorinouchi, @M_Torasawa describe safety as "broadly comparable" between arms.

May 31, 2026 ● NEUTRAL Showing ORR/DoR while primary OS/PFS blinded is common but risky in small subgroups (~40 pts/arm). Numerical differences (39% vs 35%, DoR NR vs 6.4m) are interesting given CTLA-4 biology, yet easily noise. Safety reassuring. Need mature OS in STK11/KEAP1 mut before any conclusion
