Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria
  • Stage IV metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Measurable disease of at least 1.5 cm in greatest dimension at least 2 non-irradiated sites (except for lymph nodes, in which the short-axis dimension must be at least 1.5cm). There must be at least 1 visceral organ metastasis outside of the brain.
  • History of prior cytotoxic chemotherapy (with or without concomitant radiation therapy) with subsequent distant (metastatic) disease relapse, or progression of disease while on chemotherapy.
  • Participant must be planned to receive (or actively receiving) standard of care checkpoint inhibitor immune therapy. For those patients actively receiving checkpoint inhibitor immune therapy the duration of immune therapy at the time of enrollment must be 4 months or less.
  • Life expectancy greater than 3 months
Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria
  • Active autoimmune disease, primary immunodeficiency syndrome, HIV/AIDS, or hepatitis B or C
  • Oral corticosteroid dependency
  • Uncontrolled or untreated active brain metastases/CNS disease
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia

Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
