Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding the experimental drug ivonescimab to standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) helps people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease has progressed after prior immunotherapy. About 536 adults will receive either ivonescimab or a placebo, both with docetaxel. The main goal is to see if the combination improves overall survival.
