Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months.

Exclusion criteria

1. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or mixed SCLC/NSCLC histology or squamous cell carcinoma. 2. Participant has active central nervous system metastases not previously treated. 3. Participant has active or known immune-mediated disorders. 4. Participant has received prior systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy (including PD-1/PD-L1), anti-neoplastic biological therapy, or targeted therapy for advanced/metastatic disease. 5. Known hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibodies or to any of the excipients of the study drug, or to any component of cisplatin, carboplatin, or pemetrexed.
