This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of immunotherapy-based treatment combinations in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Two cohorts will be enrolled in parallel in this study: the first-line (1L) cohort will consist of patients who have not received any systemic therapy for their disease and the second-line (2L) cohort will consist of patients who progressed during or after receiving a platinum-containing regimen and a PD-L1/PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor treatment. In each cohort, eligible patients will be assigned to one of several treatment arms.
