Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Male/female participants who are at least 20 years of age on the day of signing informed consent 2. Previously untreated and histologically proven NSCLC harboring PD-L1 expression (>=1% in a biopsy specimen), as measured by immunohistochemistry (22C3). 3. Resectable clinical stage IB-IIIA NSCLC carefully evaluated by experienced thoracic surgeons. (If N2 disease is suspected, the histological or cytological confirmation is mandatory) (UICC version 8) 4. Pulmonary resection more than lobectomy and lymph node dissection is considered to be possible for complete resection of the tumor.Be able to undergo protocol therapy, including necessary surgery. 5. Has adequate pulmonary function for pulmonary resection. Predicted postoperative FEV1.0 is 800 mL or more. {(predicted postoperative FEV1.0) = (preoperative FEV1.0) x (18-number of resected segment) / 18} 6. ECOG performance status of 0 to 1. 7. Has measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 as determined by investigator. 8. Has adequate organ function as defined in the following criteria. Clinical test data must meet the following criteria within 14 days of the registration. The registration day is the standard, including the same day of the week two weeks prior. a Neutrophil count: >= 1500/mm^3 b Hemoglobin (Hb) >= 9.0 g/dL c Platelet count: >= 10.0 x 10^4/mm^3 d AST (SGOT) = 92% (room air) i International normalized ratio (INR) =2+, store the urine for 24 hours, and if the urinary protein is <1,000 mg, the patient is qualified). 9. Female who are likely to become pregnant are negative with pregnancy tests (serum) within 7 days prior to enrollment. They agree to conduct proper contraception (total abstinence, intrauterine contraceptive device, hormone release system, or contraceptive implant and oral contraceptive) for both men and women during the trial and from the final investigational dosing up to 120 days 10. The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) is willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1.Has one of the following tumor locations/types: - NSCLC involving the superior sulcus - Large cell neuro-endocrine cancer (LCNEC) - Sarcomatoid tumor - Synchronous lung cancer (within 5 years), current non-pure GGN on TSCT, or pure GGN with 15mm or more on TSCT 2.Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy. 3.Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed. 4.Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy (dose exceeding 10mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior the first dose of trial drug. 5.Has a known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial. 6.Hypersensitivity or allergy to pembrolizumab, ramucirumab, or any of their excipients. 7.Has a known history of, or any evidence of active, interstitial lung disease. 8.Has a hypertension that is difficult to control (systolic blood pressure >=160 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure >=90 mmHg) despite treatment with several hypotensive agents. 9.Has an acute coronary syndrome (including myocardial infarction and unstable angina), and with a history of coronary angioplasty or stent placement performed within 6 months before enrollment 10.Has a history of New York Heart Association congestive heart failure of grade II or above, unstable angina, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, or serious cardiac arrhythmia associated with significant cardiovascular impairment within the past 6 months 11.Has a severe (hospitalization required) complications (intestinal palsy, intestinal obstruction, pulmonary fibrosis, diabetes difficult to control, heart failure, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, renal failure, liver failure, liver cirrhosis, mental disease, cerebrovascular disease etc). 12.Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. No HIV resting is required unless mandated by local health authority. 13.Has a known history of active TB (Bacillus Tuberculosis) 14.Positive for HBs antigens, HBs antibodies, and HBc antibodies. However, if positive for HBs and/or HBc antibodies, the patient can be registered as long as they are negative for HBV-DNA. 15.Positive for HCV antibody. However, if positive for HCV antibody, the patient can be registered as long as they are negative for HCV-RNA. 16.Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator. 17.Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment within the past (5 years) or received anti-cancer drug including hormone therapy. Note: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, bladder carcinoma, or carcinoma in situ (eg, in situ cervical cancer, breast carcinoma, CIS and AIS of the lung) that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded. 18.Has received a live vaccine within 30
