Tislelizumab in Combination With Sitravatinib in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab in combination with sitravatinib compared to docetaxel in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who experienced disease progression following platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) antibody treatment, with the anti-PD-(L)1 antibody administered either in combination with or sequentially before or after the platinum-based chemotherapy.
