• To assess the safety and tolerability in the 2 treatment arms
• To describe patient reported outcomes (PRO) disease/treatment related symptoms of lung cancer, and general health status.
Step 2 (conditional phase III):
Secondary objectives

of active malignancy (other than non-melanoma skin cancer or localized
cervical cancer, or localized and presumed cured prostate cancer).
15. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions, or
laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the
investigator and/orsponsor, excess risk associated with study
participation or study drug administration, and which would, therefore,
make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
