7. FEV1 ≥ 40%
8. DLCO or DLCO/VA (Hb-corrected, if available) ≥ 40%
9. FVC or VC ≥ 70%
10. At least one measurable site of disease as defined by RECIST 1.1

11. Adequate bone marrow and renal function including the following:

    • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL;
    • absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 x 103/L;
    • platelets ≥75x 109/L;
    • Calculated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min as determined by the Cockcroft-Gault equation

12. Adequate hepatic function (with stenting for any obstruction, if required) including the following:

    • Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN);
    • AST (SGOT) / ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5x institutional ULN
13. Female patients with reproductive potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to start of trial.
14. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients.
15. The patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study, including hospital visits for treatment and scheduled follow-up visits and examinations.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study, or during the follow-up period of an interventional study.
2. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product within 21 days prior to the first dose of the study treatment.
3. Prior immunotherapy or use of other investigational agents, including prior treatment with an anti-Programmed Death receptor-1 (PD-1),anti-Programmed Death-1 ligand-1 (PD-L1), anti-PD-L2, or anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (anti-CTLA-4) antibody, therapeutic cancer vaccines.
4. History or current radiology suggestive of interstitial lung disease.
5. Oxygen-dependent medical condition.
6. Any concurrent chemotherapy, investigational product (IMP), biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer related conditions (eg, hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
7. Prior thoracic radiotherapy within the past 5 years before the first dose of study drug.
8. Major surgery (as defined by the Investigator) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment into the study; patients must have recovered from effects of any major surgery. Note: Local non-major surgery for palliative intent is acceptable.

9. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (except inflammatory bowel disease [e.g. ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease]; ( including diverticulitis [with the exception of diverticulosis], celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis, or Wegener's syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis). The following are exceptions to this criterion:

   • Patients with vitiligo or alopecia
   • Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto's disease) stable on hormone replacement
   • Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy
   • Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the study physician.
10. Active, uncontrolled inflammatory bowel disease [e.g. ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease]. Patients in stable remission for more than 1 year may be included.
11. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent.

12. History of another primary malignancy except for:

    • Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥ 3 years before the first dose of IMP and of low potential risk for recurrence
    • Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease
