- Be > 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.

- Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.

- Be willing to provide tissue from a newly obtained core, trucut biopsy or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion. Newly-obtained is defined as a specimen obtained up to 6 weeks (42 days) prior to initiation of treatment on Day 1.

- Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer.

- Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.

- Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis, or has evidence of interstitial lung disease.

- Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.

- Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.

- Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.

- Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.

- Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent.

- Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (HIV 1/2 antibodies).

- Has known active Hepatitis B (e.g., hepatitis B virus surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive) or Hepatitis C (e.g., HCV ribonucleic acid [RNA] qualitative is detected).

- Has received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary OS The primary objective is to evaluate if treatment with chemo-radiotherapy followed by Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) maintenance (up to 24 months) results in superior Overall Survival (OS) in stage IIIA-B, unresectable, NSCLC compared to chemo-radiotherapy (CT-RT) followed by observation up to 24 months per patient
Secondary PFS To evaluate Rate (%) of patients without disease progression at 12, 18 and 24 months up to 24 months per patient
