Purpose

A study of tolododekin alfa (also known as ANK-101) administered in combination with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody in participants with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cohort A will enroll participants who have progressed on prior standard of care treatment with an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody and a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen. Cohort B will enroll participants who are treatment-naïve for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
