Exclusion criteria

The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

• Diagnosis of small cell lung cancer or, for mixed tumors, presence of small cell elements
• Has uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disorder
• Clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (ie, pulmonary emboli within 3 months, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion, etc), or any autoimmune, connective tissue, or inflammatory disorders with pulmonary involvement (ie, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, etc), or prior pneumonectomy
• Participants who have adverse events (AEs) (other than alopecia) due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to ≤Grade 1 or baseline
