The purpose of part 1 of this study is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) in stage IV NSCLC subjects treated with nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab as first line therapy.
The purpose of part 2 of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of nivolumab and ipilimumab combined with a short course of chemotherapy in first line stage IV NSCLC.
