Overview

Researchers want to learn if MK-1084, the study medicine, can treat advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. MK-1084 is a targeted therapy, which is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread. The goals of this study are to learn:

• About the safety of MK-1084 and if people tolerate it when taken with other treatments
• How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to the treatments

The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
