Inclusion Criteria

  • Has undergone margin negative, completely resected non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and has pathological Stage II, IIIA, IIIB (with nodal involvement [N2]) squamous or nonsquamous tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) staging per American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Eighth Edition guidelines.
  • Has no evidence of disease before randomization.
  • Has received at least one dose of adjuvant treatment with standard of care platinum doublet chemotherapy.
  • No more than 24 weeks have elapsed between surgical resection of curative intent and the first dose of pembrolizumab.
  • Participants who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive are eligible if they have received hepatitis B virus (HBV) antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization.
  • Participants with history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable at screening
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants must have well controlled HIV on anti-retroviral therapy (ART).

Exclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or, for mixed tumors, presence of small cell elements, or has a neuroendocrine tumor with large cell components or a sarcomatoid carcinoma.
  • Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 5 years.
  • Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years. Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid) is allowed.
