Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Cohort-specific:

        Cohort 1- EGFR mutation positive NSCLC patients previously treated with appropriate
        targeted therapy with progressive and measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria tumor.

        Cohort 2- Other genetically altered NSCLC patients previously treated with appropriate
        targeted therapy with progressive and measurable tumor.

          -  Tumor tissue for PD-L1 assessment should be available unless PD-L1 assessment results
             are already available.

          -  Patients should not have received any systemic chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC.
             Patients who received 1 cycle of systemic chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC while
             awaiting the results of tumor molecular analysis and subsequently were switched to
             appropriate targeted therapy will be eligible. Patients who have received neoadjuvant,
             adjuvant or as part of concurrent chemotherapy and radiation are eligible if they
             received the chemotherapy 12 months or more before the start of study therapy.

          -  ECOG PS 0-1 (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status: an attempt to
             quantify cancer patients' general well-being and activities of daily life. The score
             ranges from 0 to 5 where 0 is asymptomatic and 5 is death.)

          -  Patients should have recovered to ≤ grade 1 from clinically meaningful (example
             alopecia is not considered clinically meaningful) adverse events related to prior
             treatments.

          -  Patients should be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial.

          -  Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.

          -  Demonstrate adequate organ function

          -  Female subject of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum
             pregnancy within 1 week of enrollment.

          -  Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to use an adequate method of
             contraception

          -  Male subjects of child bearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of
             contraception

        Exclusion Criteria:

             of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational
             device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment. If the half-life of the drug is
             known then starting therapy 5 half-lives after the end of the last therapy is
             acceptable.

          -  Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency. Patient should not be of any immunosuppressive
             therapy or steroids > prednisone 10mg/day or its equivalent on the day of the start of
             therapy.

          -  Has a known history of active TB (Bacillus Tuberculosis)

          -  Hypersensitivity to pembrolizumab, carboplatin or pemetrexed or any of its excipients.

             Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events
             due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.

          -  Has had targeted small molecule therapy, or palliative radiation therapy within 1 week

          -  Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.

          -  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.

             cooperation with the requirements of the trial.

          -  Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the

             through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:The number of patients that respond to treatment
Time Frame:12 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The primary endpoint is Response Rate (RR) defined as the rate of complete and partial response. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-target lesions. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (<10mm short axis). Partial Response (PR): Persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) but does not qualify for PD. Progressive Disease (PD): Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression free survival (PFS) time
Time Frame:12 months
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS is defined as the duration of time from registration to time of progression. Progressive Disease (PD): Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).
Measure:Overall survival (OS) time
Time Frame:12 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Overall survival is defined as the time from registration to time of death. If the patient is lost to follow-up, survival will be censored on the last date the patient was known to be alive.
