A Study to Evaluate Telisotuzumab Vedotin (ABBV-399) in Subjects with Previously Treated c-Met+ Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Overview

About this study

The purpse of this study is to identify the target Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) population(s) that over express c-Met (c-Met+) best suited for Telisotuzumab Vedotin therapy in the second line or third line setting (Stage 1) and then to expand the group(s) to further evaluate effectiveness in the selected population(s) (Stage 2).
