AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI

  • People with a general health and activity level that falls within a certain acceptable range, as measured by a standard medical scoring system (WHO/ECOG score of 0–2) (confirm with trial site)
  • People whose lung cancer has been confirmed as a specific type called non-small cell lung cancer, through a tissue or cell sample
  • People whose cancer is at an early stage (T1–T2) with no signs that it has spread to other parts of the body
  • People who have had both a CT scan and a PET scan as part of their assessments
  • People whose medical condition means surgery is not a safe option for them
