• +Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
• +Weight ≥ 35 kg
• +Must have a life expectancy of at least 24 months
• +Any pathologic subtype of NSCLC is eligible, including adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma. Patients with targetable genomic alterations without approved or available targeted adjuvant therapy options are eligible
• +Patients with detectable plasma ctDNA before or after complete surgical resection are eligible (RaDaR TM assay, Inivata Morrisville, North Carolina, USA).
• +Adequate organ and marrow function as defined in Table 4 (3.1.1)
• +Exclusion CriteriaExclusion criteriaThe things that would prevent someone from taking part.Read more →
• +Receipt of any conventional or investigational anticancer therapy within 21 days or radiotherapy within 14 days prior to the scheduled first dose of study treatment;
• +Prior receipt of any immune-mediated anti-cancer therapy including, but not limited to, anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 antibodies including nivolumab and agents targeting CD73, CD39, or adenosine receptors;
• +Incomplete surgical resection;
• +Concurrent enrolmentEnrolmentThe number of participants a study plans to include, or has included.Read more → in another therapeutic clinical study of systemic anti-cancer treatment. Enrolment in observationalObservational studyA study that watches what happens without assigning any treatment.Read more → or supportive studies will be allowed;
• +Subjects with a recent history of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure ≥ Class 3 based on New York Heart Association Functional Classification or stroke within the past 3 months prior to the scheduled first dose of study treatment;
• +Active autoimmune disorders within the past 3 years prior to the scheduled first dose of study treatment. The following are exceptions to this criterion:
• +Subjects with vitiligo or alopecia.
• +Subjects with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) not requiring systemic treatment or stable on hormone replacement.
• +Subjects with psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment.
• +Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy.
• +Subjects with celiac disease controlled by diet alone;
• +History of primary immunodeficiency, solid organ transplantation, or active tuberculosis (by clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, and TB testing in line with local practice). In settings where there is clinical or radiographic evidence of tuberculosis, active disease must be excluded prior to enrolment. Subjects who have had adequately treated tuberculosis may be enrolled upon discussion with the coordinating Principal InvestigatorPrincipal investigatorThe doctor or researcher responsible for running the study at a site.Read more →.
• +Other invasive malignancy within 2 years. Non-invasive malignancies (i.e., cervical carcinoma in situ, in situ prostate cancer, non-melanomatous carcinoma of the skin, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast that has been surgically cured) are permitted.
• +History of more than one event of infusion related reactions (IRR) requiring permanent discontinuation of IV drug treatment.
• +Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection requiring antibiotic therapy, uncontrolled hypertension, bleeding diatheses, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs, or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent.
• +Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days prior to the scheduled first dose of study treatment. The following are exceptions to this criterion:
• +Intranasal, topical, inhaled corticosteroids or local steroid injections (e.g., intra articular injection).
• +Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent.
• +Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the scheduled first dose of study treatment (Note: Subjects, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine during the study and 180 days after the last dose of study treatment). Vaccination with an inactivated vaccine is permitted at any time.
• +Subjects who are involuntarily incarcerated or are unable to willingly provide consent or are unable to comply with the protocol procedures.
• +Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with safe administration or evaluation of the investigational products or interpretation of subject safety or study results
• +Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with safe administration or evaluation of the investigational products or interpretation of subject safety or study results.
• +Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner must use at least one highly effective method of contraception from screening to 180 days after the final dose of study treatment. A serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the initiation of therapy will be required for women of childbearing potential. It is strongly recommended for the male partner of a female subject to also use male condom plus spermicide throughout this period
• +Non-sterilized male subjects who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a male condom with spermicide from screening to 180 days after receipt of the final dose of study treatment. It is strongly recommended for the female partner of a male subject to also use a highly effective method of contraception throughout this period. In addition, male subjects must refrain from sperm donation while on study and for 180 days after the final dose of study treatment.
• +Females who are pregnant, lactating, or intend to become pregnant during their participation in the study.
• +No prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy is allowed for the current diagnosis of resected NSCLC.
• +Participants that should receive adjuvant chemotherapy per standard of careStandard of careThe treatment normally given for a condition outside a study.Read more → (resected N1 or N2 disease, primary tumour \>=4 cm).
• +Major surgery (as defined by the investigator) within 28 days prior to the scheduled first dose of study treatment or still recovering from prior surgery. Local procedures (e.g., placement of a systemic port, core needle biopsy, etc) are allowed without needing to wait for the 28-day recovery period.
