Inclusion Criteria: * Participant has provided informed consent/assent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures * Age ≥ 18 years old (or legal adult within country, whichever is older) at the time that the Informed Consent Form (ICF) is signed * Pathologically confirmed squamous cell lung carcinoma * Disease that is unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic (not amenable to curative therapy) * Participants must have archived tumor tissue sample (formalin fixed, paraffin embedded \[FFPE\] sample \[FFPE of excisional, or core needle\]) taken within last 5 years or be willing to undergo pre-treatment tumor biopsy (excisional, or core needle) for tissue prior to enrollment * Participant must have progressed on, or recurred after at least 1 prior systemic therapy (Part 1 and 2 only) or at least 2 prior systemic therapies (Part 3 only) for locally advanced and unresectable or metastatic disease. Prior treatment must include a platinum-based doublet chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor for advanced or metastatic disease, either given as one line of therapy or as individual lines of therapy, unless the participant has a medical contraindication to one of the required therapies (which must be documented in the electronic case report form \[eCRF\]). Additionally, if the participant's tumor was previously identified as having a driver mutation (according to local standard of care or guidelines, e.g., Kirsten rat sarcoma \[KRAS\] G12C, neurotrophic tyrosine re…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

Number of Participants Who Experienced a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT): Parts 1 and 4

Timeframe: Day 1 to Day 21 of Cycle 1 (each cycle was 21 days)

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

Timeframe: Day 1 of cycle 1 to 100 days after the last dose of study treatment or end of study date, whichever occurred earlier (Parts 1, 2, and 4 cycle length = 21 days; Part 3 cycle length = 14 days). Median treatment duration was 6.2 weeks.
