---|---|
Experimental: Arm 1: cCRT plus M7824 followed by M7824
Participants will receive cCRT: Cisplatin/Etoposide or Carboplatin/Paclitaxel or Cisplatin/Pemetrexed concomitant with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) along with M7824 followed by M7824.

Drug: M7824
Participants will receive intravenous infusion of 1200 milligram (mg) M7824 over 1 hour every 2 weeks (q2w) during cCRT and up to 1 year after cCRT until unacceptable toxicity, confirmed disease progression assessed by investigator. Drug: Etoposide Participants will receive etoposide 50 mg/m^2 intravenously over a minimum of 30 minutes up to 60 minutes daily on Day 1 to 5 and Day 29 to 33 during cCRT.

Drug: Cisplatin In combination with etoposide, participants will receive cisplatin 50 mg/m^2 intravenously over 60 minutes on Days 1, 8, 29, and 36 during cCRT. In combination with pemetrexed, participants will receive cisplatin 75 mg/m2 intravenously over 60 minutes on Days 1, 22, and 43 during cCRT.

Drug: Paclitaxel Participants will receive paclitaxel intravenously at a dose of 45 mg/m^2 over 60 minutes on Day 1, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29, Day 36, and Day 43 during cCRT. Drug: Cisplatin In combination with etoposide, participants will receive cisplatin 50 mg/m^2 intravenously over 60 minutes on Days 1, 8, 29, and 36 during cCRT. In combination with pemetrexed, participants will receive cisplatin 75 mg/m2 intravenously over 60 minutes on Days 1, 22, and 43 during cCRT. Radiation: Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) Participants will receive IMRT 5 fractions per week for about 6 weeks (Total 60 gray [Gy]). |
