Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically confirmed diagnosis of primary non-small cell carcinoma of the lung.
             according to WHO Classification of Tumours (WHO Classification of Tumours of the Lung,
             Pleura, Thymus and Heart. WHO/IARC Classification of Tumours, 4th Edition, Volume 7).
             Patients with large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas are not eligible.

          -  Patients must be classified post-operatively as Stage IB (≥ 4cm in the longest
             diameter), II or IIIA on the basis of pathologic criteria. Note: Although T3N2M0
             tumours have been reclassified to stage IIIB in the 8th edition of the IASLC staging
             system, these patients remain eligible (as stage IIIA under the 7th edition criteria).

               -  Complete surgical resection of the primary NSCLC is also mandatory. All gross
                  disease must have been removed at the end of surgery. All surgical margins of
                  resection must be negative for tumour. Resection may be accomplished by open or
                  VATS techniques

        Note: Patients with synchronous primary tumours will not be eligible due to the potential
        uncertainty regarding their appropriate PD-L1 status.

        Prior Systemic Therapy:

          -  Pre-operative (neo-adjuvant) platinum based or other chemotherapy is not permissible.

          -  Patients may have received prior post-operative platinum based chemotherapy as per
             standard of care.

          -  No prior anticancer therapy for treatment of NSCLC other than standard post-operative
             adjuvant chemotherapy is permissible.

        Radiation:

        • Patients with N2 disease only who receive adjuvant post-operative radiation therapy are
        eligible provided they meet the protocol specified timing criteria for surgery, adjuvant
        chemotherapy and randomization. Pre-operative radiation therapy is not permissible.

          -  The patient must have an ECOG performance status of 0, 1.

          -  Hematology: . Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L or ≥ 1,500/µl Platelets ≥ 100 x
             109/L or ≥ 100,000/µl

          -  Biochemistry:

        Total bilirubin* ≤ institutional upper limit of normal Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x
        institutional upper limit of normal AST(SGOT) and ALT(SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper
        limit of normal Creatinine Clearance ≥ 40 ml/min

        * excluding Gilbert's syndrome

        Creatinine clearance to be measured directly by 24 hour urine sampling or as calculated by
        Cockcroft Formula:

        Females: GFR = 1.04 x (140-age) x weight in kg serum creatinine in μmol/L Males: GFR = 1.23
        x (140-age) x weight in kg serum creatinine in μmol/L

          -  Patient able and willing to complete the QoL, economics and other questionnaires. The
             baseline assessment must already have been completed within required timelines prior
             to randomization. Inability (illiteracy, loss of sight, or other equivalent reason) to
             complete the questionnaires will not make the patient ineligible for the study.
             However, ability but unwillingness to complete the questionnaires will make the
             patient ineligible

          -  Patient consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable local and
             regulatory requirements. Each patient must sign a consent form prior to enrollment in
             the trial to document their willingness to participate

          -  Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow-up. Investigators must assure
             themselves the patients randomized on this trial will be available for complete
             documentation of the treatment, adverse events, and follow-up

          -  Protocol treatment is to begin within 2 working days of patient randomization

                  following the end of treatment and which, in the opinion of the treating
                  physician, do not have a substantial risk of recurrence of the prior malignancy.
