Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

             unresectable stage IIIB/C or stage IV, does not have an EGFR sensitizing (activating)
             mutation or ALK or ROS1 translocation. BRAF, RET, NTRK, MET ex 14 splice site mutation

          -  Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1

          -  Tumor sample requirements

               -  Mandatory provision of an unstained, archived tumor tissue sample in a quantity
                  sufficient to allow for biomarker and genomic analysis. A minimum of 10 unstained
                  slides should be available for evaluation.

               -  Known PD-L1 TC expression status assayed by Ventana SP263. Patients who have
                  known PDL-1 as assayed by PharmDx 22C3 assay may be eligible; however, available

          -  Prior chemotherapy or immunotherapy as adjuvant therapy for lung cancer is permitted
             as long as it has been >6 months from last dose at the time of enrollment. Local
             treatment of isolated lesions, excluding target lesions, for palliative intent is
             acceptable (e.g. by local surgery or radiotherapy). Prior systemic therapy for
             advanced/metastatic NSCLC makes the patient ineligible for this study.

             symptoms, are more than 2 weeks from completion of therapy, and do not require more
             than 10mg of daily prednisone or equivalent.
