The doctor treating you must confirm that you have been evaluated and approved by each specialist.You must have had an MRI or CT scan of your brain (preferably with contrast) within 42 days before starting the trial.You must be 18 years old or older to participate.You have received a transplant of either stem cells or a solid organ in the past.You have received treatment for your cancer before such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.You have already received medications that activate the immune system to fight cancer, such as anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, and anti-PD-L1 antibodies.You will be asked if you would like to store your samples for future research.You previously received radiation therapy in the same area where you will receive treatment as part of this study.You have a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has grown into the tissues around the top part of your lung.You can participate in the study even if you don't have measurable disease, as long as your non-measurable disease has been assessed within 42 days of the first randomization. All sites of disease must be documented. If you have measurable disease, it should be checked within 28 days before the first randomization.Before joining the study, you must have had a chest CT scan (preferably with a special dye), a contrast MRI scan (of your upper chest), and a PET/CT scan (using a special radioactive substance) within the last 28 days.You are allowed to participate in studies that do not involve treatment, such as studies related to improving quality of life.You have had or currently have another type of cancer that may affect the safety or effectiveness of the study treatment.
