Inclusion and exclusion lines below are quoted from ClinicalTrials.gov. No match score is shown, because a score needs a person's age, biomarkers, and treatment dates. Confirm the record with the study team.
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has been treated before. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Nonsquamous means the cancer did not start in squamous cells, which are flat cells that line the inside of the lungs. Standard treatment (usual treatment) for NSCLC is surgery, then immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy after surgery. Immunotherapy is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Chemotherapy is a medicine that works to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing. However, standard treatment may not work or may stop working for some people. Researchers want to know if 2 antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) can help treat metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC that did not respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment. An ADC attaches to specific targets on cancers cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. Researchers will compare 2 different ADCs (the study treatments) to chemotherapy in this study....
Inclusion
- The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

- Documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1 after receiving an anti-programmed cell death 1 protein (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) treatment and platinum-based chemotherapy
- Confirmation per local test report that epidermal growth factor receptor negative (EGFR-), anaplastic lymphoma kinase negative (ALK-), c ros oncogene 1 negative (ROS1-), or other directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy
- Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by investigator and verified by BICR
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months
Exclusion
- The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
- Diagnosis of small cell lung cancer or, for mixed tumors, presence of small cell elements
- Received radiation therapy to the lung
- Has uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disorder prior to randomization
- Has clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses
- Participants who have adverse events (AEs) (other than alopecia) due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to ≤Grade 1 or baseline
