You may be able to join if
- Has a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
- Has confirmation that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase 1 (ALK-1), or ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS-1)-directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy
- Has provided tumor tissue that demonstrates PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥50% of tumor cells as assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) at a central laboratory
