Brief Summary  
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating 
the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of adagrasib plus pembrolizumab plus platinum-doublet 
chemotherapy versus placebo plus pembrolizumab plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy in 
participants with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with KRAS
G12C mutation. Treatment will continue until confirmed PD, death, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. 
All participants will have an End of Treatment (EOT) visit to collect safety and efficacy assessments. Once the participant
completes the end of treatment visit, they will enter the follow up period.
