NivolumabExperimentalPatients will begin treatment with nivolumab IV 3mg/kg and ipilimumab 1mg/kg. Treatment with nivolumab will continue every 2 weeks (+/- 3 days) thereafter and treatment with ipilimumab will continue every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) thereafter. Treatment will continue until protocol-defined toxicity, confirmed progression of disease*, withdrawal of consent, or death.

               -  Patients who previously received neoadjuvant, concurrent, or adjuvant
                  chemotherapy for localized NSCLC and then recurred within 6 months of completing
                  chemotherapy may be considered as having received one line of prior therapy

               -  Be scheduled to undergo a standard-of-care resection of tumor tissue as part of
                  treatment plan prior to beginning study therapy. Patients may not have
                  intervening systemic anti-cancer therapy between the time of resection and
                  treatment with nivolumab.

               -  Have collection of adequate pre-treatment tissue for correlative analysis defined
                  as sufficient material for 1) frozen tissue for DNA/RNA with touch
                  prep/representative slide confirming tumor material present, 2) FFPE material for
                  ICH with touch prep/representative slide confirming tumor material present, and
                  3) single-cell suspensions with >20 million live cells after tissue digestion but

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Best overall response rate (confirmed partial + complete response) will be assessed as part of this study. Tumor response will be assessed using RECIST 1.1)
Time Frame:every 6 weeks (+/- 1 week) until week 48
Safety Issue:
Description:confirmed partial + complete response will be assessed as part of this study. Tumor response will be assessed using RECIST 1.1. All responses must be confirmed on subsequent scan to be considered a true response. Tumor assessments will be performed after.6 weeks (+/- 1 week) and subsequently every six week (+/- 1 week) thereafter while on study until week 48. After week 48, tumor assessments will be conducted every 12 weeks (+/- week). Additional tumor assessments may be performed at the discretion of the treating physician.
