following conditions apply: 1) not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP); or 2) a
WOCBP who agrees to follow contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for
the time needed to eliminate each study intervention after the last dose of study
intervention and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store
for her own use for the purpose of reproduction during this period.

- Have available formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue sample blocks for
submission. If blocks are not available, have unstained slides for submission for
central programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) testing.

- Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1 within
10 days of randomization.

- Have adequate organ function.

2) Large cell neuro-endocrine cancer (LCNEC); or 3) Sarcomatoid tumor.

cooperating with the requirements of the trial.

- Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with

- Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents for
the current malignancy prior to randomization/allocation.

- Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of trial treatment.

- Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of trial drug.

- Is currently participating in or has participated in a trial of an investigational
agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of
