Who may not be able to join
Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.
- People whose lung cancer is confirmed to be of the squamous cell type, or whose cancer contains small cell lung cancer, neuroendocrine carcinoma, or carcinosarcoma components.
- People who have previously received any of the following treatments (including before or after surgery): a) a therapy that targets a protein called TROP2; b) any drug containing a topoisomerase I inhibitor, including certain antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapies; c) medicines that block the growth of blood vessels in tumours (anti-angiogenic agents).
- People who need to take strong medicines that significantly affect how the body processes certain drugs (strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers) within 2 weeks before starting the trial or during the study.
- People with a diagnosed severe dry eye condition, severe eyelid gland disease or eyelid inflammation, or a history of corneal problems that slow or prevent healing.
- People with cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord, the brainstem, the spinal cord itself, or who have active brain metastases; people with previously treated brain metastases may be considered if their condition has been stable for at least 4 weeks and they have not needed steroids or anti-seizure medicines for at least 14 days; people with untreated brain metastases that are not causing symptoms may be considered after assessment by the trial doctor (confirm with trial site).
- People who have had another cancer in the past 3 years, except for certain types that are considered fully treated with local therapy (such as some skin cancers or early-stage cervical changes).
- People with serious heart or blood vessel disease, or significant risk factors for such conditions.
- People with uncontrolled ongoing illnesses affecting the whole body, as assessed by the trial doctor.
- People whose urine test shows a high level of protein, confirmed by a 24-hour urine test showing more than 1.0 g of protein.

- People with serious breathing problems caused by other ongoing lung diseases.
- People with active long-term bowel inflammation, a blockage in the digestive tract, a severe ulcer, a hole in the gut wall, an abscess in the abdomen, or active serious bleeding in the digestive tract.

- People who have previously had an organ transplant or bone marrow/stem cell transplant from another person.
- People with active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C infection (note: people who test positive for the Hepatitis B surface antigen may be required to receive anti-hepatitis B treatment during the trial — confirm with trial site).

If this is close to home
This page includes language about advanced illness, prognosis, or palliative care, because that is how the trial's eligibility criteria are written. Seeing it set out plainly can land hard, whether it is about you or about someone you are caring for. You do not have to be at a crisis point to talk to someone.
- Griefline — grief and loss counselling, 9am to 6pm weekdays and midday to 6pm weekends (AEST/AEDT): 1300 845 745
- Carer Gateway — practical and emotional support if you are caring for someone, 8am to 5pm weekdays: 1800 422 737
- Canteen — for 12 to 25 year olds affected by cancer, their own or a family member's: 1800 945 215
- Palliative Care Australia — directory of palliative care services near you: palliativecare.org.au
- Lifeline — 24/7, for any kind of distress, at any hour the services above are closed: 13 11 14
Palliative care is not the same as giving up on treatment, and it is not only for the last weeks of life. It is symptom and comfort care that can run alongside active treatment, including a clinical trial.
