This trial tests a new drug called datopotamab deruxtecan against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer (non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer) that has already been treated. The new drug targets a protein called TROP2 found on cancer cells, which may help slow or stop the cancer's growth.
