Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Individuals with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
- Part 1: NSCLC with a known actionable genetic mutation (for example, epidermal growth factor receptor \[EGFR\], anaplastic lymphoma kinase \[ALK\], c-ros oncogene 1 \[ROS1\], v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 \[BRAF\]) must have received all approved targeted therapies and have progressed
- Part 2: No targetable mutations (for example, EGFR \[epidermal growth factor receptor\], ALK \[anaplastic lymphoma kinase\], ROS1\[c-ros oncogene 1\], and BRAF \[B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase\])
- Part 1 and Cohort A of part 2: Must have been treated with (a) anti-programmed death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) or programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy and (b) platinum-based chemotherapy
- For Cohort B of Part 2: Previously treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy for metastatic disease as the prior line of therapy
- For Cohort C of Part 2: Treatment naïve
- Adequate organ function
Exclusion criteria

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
