Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Age ≥18 years at the time of screening
  2. Written informed consent and any locally required authorization (eg, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in the US, European Union [EU] Data Privacy Directive in the EU) obtained from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations. (For patients aged <20 years and enrolling in Japan, a written informed consent should be obtained from the patient and his or her legally acceptable representative.)
  3. Histologically or cytologically documented Stage IV NSCLC not amendable to curative surgery or radiation (according to version 7 of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Staging Manual in Thoracic Oncology; IASLC Staging Manual in Thoracic Oncology).
  4. Patients must have tumors that lack activating EGFR mutation (eg, exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R, exon 21 L861, exon 18 G719, or exon 20 S7681 mutation) and ALK rearrangement. (If a patient has squamous histology or is known to have a tumor with a KRAS mutation, then EGFR and ALK testing is not required).
  5. No prior chemotherapy or any other systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Patients who have received prior platinum-containing adjuvant, neoadjuvant, or definitive chemoradiation for advanced disease are eligible, provided that progression has occurred >6 months from last therapy.
  6. Tumor PD-L1 status, with IHC assay confirmed by a reference laboratory, must be known prior to randomization. As such, all patients must be able to undergo a fresh tumor biopsy during screening or to provide an available tumor sample taken <3 months prior to screening. Tumor lesions used for fresh biopsies should not be target lesions, unless there are no other lesions suitable for biopsy. Fine needle aspirate specimens are not acceptable. Specimens from metastatic bone lesions are typically unacceptable unless there is a significant soft tissue component. The tumor specimen submitted to establish eligibility should be of sufficient quantity to allow for PD-L1 IHC and other exploratory biomarker analyses and is preferred in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded blocks.
  7. World Health Organization (WHO)/Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 at enrollment.
  8. At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have a short axis ≥15 mm) with CT or MRI and that is suitable for accurate repeated measurements as per RECIST 1.1 guidelines.
  9. No prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy including, but not limited to, other anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-programmed cell death ligand 2 (anti-PD-L2) antibodies, excluding therapeutic anticancer vaccines.
  10. Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
    • Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL
    • Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 x 109 /L
    • Platelet count ≥100 x 109/L
    • Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x the ULN. This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome, who will be allowed in consultation with their physician.
    • ALT and AST ≤2.5 x ULN; for patients with hepatic metastases, ALT and AST ≤5 x ULN
    • Calculated creatinine clearance >50 mL/min as determined by Cockcroft-Gault (using actual body weight)
  11. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply:
    • Women <50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and folliclestimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
    • Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced oophorectomy with last menses >1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with >1 year interval since last menses, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria
