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
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of non-squamous NSCLC with evidence of KRAS G12C mutation via tumor sample and/or circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA).
- Locally advanced or metastatic disease.
- Measurable disease via computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) per RECIST v1.1 criteria of at least 1 lesion.
- No prior systemic anti-cancer therapy given for advanced or metastatic disease.
- Not a candidate for definitive therapy (eg, chemoradiation or complete surgical resection).
- Participants with brain metastases are eligible for enrollment, including those with untreated brain metastases. Brain metastases must be asymptomatic and not in need of immediate local therapy. Any untreated brain metastases must be ≤ 20 mm in diameter.
- Any PD-L1 expression (0 to 100%) as determined by VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) assay, Agilent PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx, or Agilent PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx.

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.
