Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether a new drug called CT-P51 works as well as the established immunotherapy Keytruda for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before. All participants also receive standard chemotherapy. The study compares how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear with each treatment combination.
