Primary outcome measures
Part A and Part B: Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)
Time frame: Approximately 46 months
To assess the safety and tolerability and determine RP2D of the combination of novel anti-cancer agents.
Part A: Number of partcipants with dose limiting toxicity (DLT)
Time frame: Approximately 46 months
To assess the safety and tolerability and determine RP2D of the combination of novel anti-cancer agents.
Part B: Objective response (OR)
Time frame: Approximately 46 months
The OR is defined as a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR).
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

- Minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks in the opinion of the investigator.
- Adequate organ and marrow function.
- Contraceptive use by male or female participants should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
- Adequate organ and marrow function. Inclusion Criteria for Sub Study 2:
- Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumour proportion score (TPS) ≥ 1% (per local report).
- Adequate coagulation and urinalysis.
- Minimum body weight of 30 kg.
Exclusion criteria

- Presence of small cell and neuroendocrine histology components.
- Any severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension, and active bleeding diseases, ongoing or active known infection; interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis (of any grade); unstable and/or symptomatic venous thromboembolism, serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhoea, active non-infectious skin disease or substance abuse.
- Has had a prior stem cell, bone marrow, allogenic tissue, or solid organ transplant.
- Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 5 years.
- History of clinically significant arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy of any aetiology or symptomatic congestive heart failure.
- History of another primary malignancy except for malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease ≥ 2 years before the first dose of study intervention or presence of small cell and neuroendocrine histology components.
- Persistent toxicities (common terminology criteria for adverse events \[CTCAE\] ≥ Grade 2) caused by previous anti-cancer therapy, excluding alopecia.
- Spinal cord compression or symptomatic brain metastases.
- Treatment with any other anti-cancer agents or immunosuppressive medication.
- Palliative radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation within 2 weeks or with a wide field of radiation or to more than 30% of the bone marrow within 4 weeks, prior to the first dose of study intervention. Exclusion Criteria for Sub Study 2:
- Known active hepatitis A.
- Acute hepatitis B infection (anti-hepatitis B core antibody \[HBc\] immunoglobulin M \[IgM\] positive) or chronic hepatitis B infection with HBV DNA ≥ 2000 IU/mL.
- Active hepatitis C infection (anti-HCV positive with HCV RNA detectable) or anti- HCV positive with HCV RNA undetectable for less than 12 weeks following treatment for HCV.
- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that is not well controlled.
- Evidence of Grade ≥ 1 central nervous system (CNS) haemorrhage.
- Uncontrolled arterial hypertension ≥ 150 mm Hg (systolic) and/or ≥ 100 mm Hg (diastolic).
- Has radiologically documented evidence of major blood vessel invasion or encasement by cancer, or major airway invasion by cancer or intra-tumour cavitation.
- Has experienced any arterial thrombotic event, a Grade ≥ 3 bleeding event or has gross haemoptysis.
- Has significant bleeding disorders, serious or nonhealing wound, ulcer or clinically relevant congestive heart failure.
- Has a bowel obstruction, history or presence of inflammatory enteropathy or extensive intestinal resection.
- Has cirrhosis at a level of Child-Pugh B (or worse), or cirrhosis (any degree) and a history of hepatic encephalopathy or clinically meaningful ascites resulting from cirrhosis.
- Prior systemic therapy received for advanced or mNSCLC.
- Prior exposure to an anti-T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibition Motif domains (TIGIT) therapy or immune-oncology agent such as anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), anti-PD-L1, or anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), or any other anti-cancer therapy targeting immune-regulatory receptors or mechanisms.

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.
