Adequate organ function
No history of prior malignancy, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer
Provided formalin fixed tumor tissue from a biopsy of a tumor lesion AFTER the diagnosis of metastatic disease has been made AND from a site not previously irradiate

Female subjects must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test if of childbearing potential or be of non-child bearing potential.
Heterosexually active women are willing to use two methods of birth control (which is also recommended for the female partners of male subjects). The two birth control methods can be either two barrier methods or a barrier method plus a hormonal method to prevent pregnancy.

NSCLC can be treated with curative intent with either surgical resection and/or chemo-radiation
Expected to require any other form of systemic or localized antineoplastic therapy while on trial
Received any prior systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy, biological therapy major surgery within 3week of first study dose: radiation therapy of > 30 Gy within 6 months of the first dose; received palliative radiotherapy of 30Gy or less within 7 days of the first dose.
Received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, or anti-Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody
