Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Mixed small cell and NSCLC histology 2. Neuroendocrine tumour 3. Distant metastases 4. Malignant pleural effusion or pericardial effusion 5. Acute superior vena cava obstruction 6. Receipt of prior or current cancer treatment for NSCLC, including but not limited to, surgical resection, radiation therapy, investigational agents, hemotherapy, and mAbs. Exception: Prior surgical resection of limited metachronous NSCLC (i.e., stage I or II) is permitted. 7. Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the start of therapy. Note: Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine during treatment phase and up to 30 days end of treatment 8. Major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) within 28 days prior start of treatment. 9. Prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy, including but not limited to, other anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 (including durvalumab), and anti-PD-L2 antibodies, including therapeutic anticancer vaccines 10. Current use of ongoing long-term immunosuppressive medication. The following are exceptions to this criterion a. Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra articular injection) b. Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of pred-nisone or its equivalent c. Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication) 11. History of allogeneic organ transplantation 12. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders including inflammatory bowel disease [e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease], diverticulitis [with the exception of diverticulosis], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc.]). The following are exceptions to this criterion: a. Patients with vitiligo or alopecia b. Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement c. Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy d. Patients without active disease in the last 5 years at randomization may be included but only after consultation with the local study physician e. Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone 13. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, ILD, serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs, or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent 14.
