E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 • Histologically or cytologically confirmed Stage IV squamous NSCLC Patients with tumors of mixed histology (squamous and non-squamous) are eligible if the major histological component appears to be squamous. • No prior treatment for Stage IV squamous NSCLC Patients known to have a sensitizing mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene must have experienced disease progression (during or after treatment) or intolerance to treatment with one or more EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs), such as erlotinib, gefitinib, or another EGFR TKI appropriate for the treatment of EGFR-mutant NSCLC.
