Summary

This trial is testing a new combination cancer treatment to see if it is more effective and has fewer side effects than current standard treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have already been treated with platinum-containing chemotherapy and anti-PD-L1/PD-1 antibodies. Participants must be in good physical condition, not have HIV or hepatitis, and agree to use contraception. They cannot join if they've had certain other treatments recently, have severe organ problems, uncontrolled infections or diseases that could interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The study compares Atezolizumab combined with Cabozantinib against Docetaxel alone in patients whose NSCLC has worsened after previous treatments. It's a Phase III trial where participants are randomly assigned to either treatment group to assess effectiveness and safety.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include liver issues, high blood pressure, bleeding problems, fatigue, allergic reactions to medication components like polysorbate 80 or Chinese hamster ovary cell products. There may also be risks of infection due to immune system effects from the drugs.
