Inclusion Criteria

• Histologically confirmed and documented locally advanced stage III (not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemo-radiation) or stage IV (metastatic) NSCLC (per AJCC/IASLC v.8) for treatment in the first-line setting
- Treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation as part of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy (other than immunotherapies) is allowed as long as therapy was completed at least 6 months prior to the diagnosis of advanced or metastatic disease.
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC that is both EGFR wild type status and ALK- negative rearrangement status:
- Patients with NSCLC of pure squamous cell histology can enter screening without EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement testing or result; however, patients with pure squamous cell histology who are known to have EGFR mutations in exons 19 or 21 or ALK rearrangements will be excluded.
• Have an archival tumor sample or newly obtained tumor biopsy with high PD-L1 expression (TPS= 50%) determined by IHC using FDA approved PD-L1 IHC 22C3 PharmDx assay at a local laboratory or at a Novartis designated central laboratory.
- The archival samples must be most recently available FFPE block or cut tissue sections from the block. Tissue sections must NOT be older than 5 months from the time of sectioning. Archival samples obtained prior to any systemic anti-neoplastic therapy (such as adjuvant therapy) will NOT be acceptable.
- If local laboratory testing of PD-L1 as described above is not available, a newly obtained tumor biopsy or an archival tumor sample is required to confirm the eligibility.
• ECOG performance status = 1
• Have at least 1 measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1; a previously irradiated lesion may only be counted as a target lesion if there is clear sign of progression since the irradiation

Exclusion Criteria

1. Prior treatment with a MET inhibitor or HGF-targeting therapy
2. Prior immunotherapy (e.g. anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways).
3. Have known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of capmatinib (crospovidone, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, and various coating premixes).
4. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies, which in the opinion of the investigator may pose an increased risk of serious infusion reaction.
5. Have untreated symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases. Subjects are eligible if CNS metastases have been adequately treated with radiotherapy or surgery and remained stable for >2 weeks after treatment. The subjects must have been off steroids 7 days prior to study treatment
6. Presence or history of a malignant disease, other than NSCLC, that has been diagnosed and/or required therapy within the past 3 years. Exceptions to this exclusion include the following: completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers, and completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type.
7. Presence or history of interstitial lung disease or interstitial pneumonitis, including clinically significant radiation pneumonitis (i.e. affecting activities of daily living or requiring therapeutic intervention).
8. Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart diseases.
9. Prior palliative radiotherapy for bone lesions = 2 weeks prior to starting study treatment.
10. Major surgery (e.g., intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic) within 4 weeks prior (2 weeks for resection of brain metastases) to starting study treatment or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and mediastinoscopy are not counted as major surgery and subjects can be enrolled in the study = 1 week after the procedure.
11. Impairment of GI function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of capmatinib (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or malabsorption syndrome).
12. Concomitant medication(s) with a Known Risk of Torsades de Point” per www.qtdrugs.org that cannot be discontinued or replaced by safe alternative medication.
13. Receiving treatment with strong inducers of CYP3A4 that cannot be discontinued at least 1 week prior to the start of treatment with capmatinib and for the duration of the study.
14. Systemic chronic steroid therapy (>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or any immunosuppressive therapy 7 days prior to planned date of first dose of study treatment. Topical, inhaled, nasal and ophthalmic steroids, mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone) for patients with orthostatic hypotension, and low-dose supplemental corticosteroids for adrenocortical insufficiency are allowed.
15. Participation in a prior investigational study (drug or device) within 30 days prior to first dose of study treatment or within 5-half lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer, or those who are expected to receive any other investigational drug or device during the conduct of the study.
16.Other severe, acute, or chronic medical or psychotic conditions or laboratory abnormalities that in the opinion of the investigator may increase subject's risk associated with study participation, or
