Primary Objectives:
- Study is designed with two primary endpoints that will be analyzed on randomized participants at the time of the cut-off date for each given analysis (progression free survival [PFS] and overall survival [OS])
- Study success is defined either on PFS or OS
- The primary objective is to determine whether tusamitamab ravtansine improves the progression free survival (PFS) when compared to docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing CEACAM5 greater than or equal to 2+ in intensity in at least 50% of the tumor cell population and previously treated with standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)
- The primary objective is to determine whether tusamitamab ravtansine improves the overall survival (OS) when compared with docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC expressing CEACAM5 greater than or equal to 2+ in intensity in at least 50% of the tumor cell population and previously treated with standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
Secondary Objectives:
- To compare the objective response rate (ORR) of tusamitamab ravtansine with docetaxel
- To compare the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of tusamitamab ravtansine with docetaxel
- To evaluate the safety of tusamitamab ravtansine compared to docetaxel
- To assess the duration of response (DOR) of tusamitamab ravtansine as compared with docetaxel

- Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to approximately 15 months ]PFS will be defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first documented disease progression or death of any cause, whichever comes first.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 2 years ]OS will be defined as the time of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.
- Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 2 years ]Objective response rate will be defined as the proportion of participants who have a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as best overall response derived from Overall Response (OR) determined by the Independent Radiology Review Committee (IRC) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) 1.1
- Health related quality of life (HRQOL) - disease related symptoms [ Time Frame: Baseline up to median 12 months ]Time to deterioration (TTD) in disease related symptoms as determined by European Organization for Research and Treatment for Cancer (EORTC)- Quality of life Questionnaire (QLQ)-Lung Cancer (LC)13
- Health related quality of life (HRQOL) - physical function [ Time Frame: Baseline up to median 12 months ]TTD in physical function as determined by EORTC QLQ C30
- Health related quality of life (HRQOL) - role function [ Time Frame: Baseline up to median 12 months ]TTD in role function as determined by EORTC QLQ C30
- Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of study (approximately 2 years) ]Incidence of TEAEs and SAEs and laboratory abnormalities according to NCI CTCAE V5
- Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 2 years ]Duration of response (DOR) is defined as the time from first documented evidence of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) until progressive disease (PD) determined per RECIST 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
