E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate whether the efficacy of JNJ-757 combined with nivolumab is better than the efficacy of nivolumab monotherapy for subjects with mesothelin-positive relapsed/refractory Stage IIIB or Stage IV adenocarcinoma of the lung, by PD-L1 level |
