Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Enrollment will involve approximately 62 individuals who are 18 years of age or older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study will be divided into two phases, dose escalation with up to 18 Immunotherapy naive subjects and dose expansion with up to 50 subjects (up to 22 subjects that are Immunotherapy naive and up to 28 subjects that have failed on Immunotherapy). Subjects that are enrolled in the dose escalation phase may continue into the dose expansion phase, as long as there is no evidence of disease progression. The subjects entering the dose expansion phase from dose escalation, may have their dose increased to the recommend phase 2 dose, once it is determined. Any subjects that have evidence of disease progression will be taken off of treatment and will have a post treatment safety follow-up visit 10 weeks after last treatment. Subjects that have discontinued study drug will also continue to be followed every 3 months for survival, or lost to follow-up. It is estimated that the study will take approximately 33 months between first subject enrolled and last subject visit.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
VX15/2503 + avelumab
VX15/2503 at a concentration of 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg with a fixed dose of avelumab at 10 mg/kg, administered intravenously on a bi-weekly dosing cycle.
VX15/2503 + avelumab
Dose escalation will begin at 5 mg/kg of VX15/2503 and will increase up to 20 mg/kg with a constant dose of avelumab at 10 mg/kg. A recommended phase II dose of VX15/2503 will be determined and then utilized in the expansion phase with 10 mg/kg of avelumab.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Signed informed consent prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures, including fresh tumor biopsies.
3. Histologically or cytologically proven advanced (stage IIIB/IV) NSCLC subjects. Subjects in the Dose Escalation Phase must be immunotherapy naïve.
4. i. Subjects in the Dose Escalation Phase must have either progressed on or declined standard first-line therapy. Subjects with fewer than 3 lines of prior palliative systemic anti-cancer therapy are eligible.
ii. Subjects in the Dose Expansion Phase must have progressed on a minimum of 2 cycles of standard of care platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy, standard of care immunotherapy without chemotherapy or must have declined standard of care first-line treatment options. Subjects with fewer than 3 lines of prior palliative systemic anti-cancer therapy are eligible.
5. Subjects previously treated with systemic adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy, other than immunotherapy are also eligible for the Dose Escalation Phase. Subjects previously treated with standard of care systemic adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy are also eligible for the Dose Expansion Phase.
6. Measureable disease as defined by the RECIST 1.1.
7. Availability of archival or fresh tumor specimen that is suitable for analysis. Acceptable samples must have been acquired using core needle biopsy or excisional biopsy. Samples that were acquired using fine needle aspiration are not acceptable.
8. Tumor lesion accessible for biopsy after the start of treatment. (Note: this lesion should be separate from measurable lesions that will be used for response assessment.)
9. ECOG performance status (PS) score 0-1.
10. Left ventricular ejection fraction \> 50%
11. Tumors lack activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, ROS-1, or ALK rearrangement (no EGFR or ALK testing is required if a subject has a KRAS mutation or squamous cell histology)..
12. Has adequate bone marrow, renal and hepatic function based upon laboratory tests as follows:
* Absolute neutrophil count \> 1500/µL
* Platelet count \> 100 x 103/µL
* Hemoglobin \> 9 g/dL, transfusion permitted
* Total bilirubin \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (or \< 3 x ULN for subjects with Gilbert's syndrome)
* Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min on the basis of the Cockcroft-Gault glomerular filtration rate calculation
* AST \< 2.5 x ULN (5.0 x ULN in the presence of liver metastasis)
* ALT \< 2.5 x ULN (5.0 x ULN in the presence of liver metastasis).
13. Highly effective contraception (i.e., methods with a failure rate of less than 1 % per year) for both male and female subjects if the risk of conception exists (Note: The effects of the trial treatment on the developing human fetus are unknown; thus, women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use highly effective contraception, defined in Protocol Appendix 9.3, or as stipulated in national or local guidelines. Highly effective contraception must be used for the duration of trial treatment, and at least for 60 days after stopping trial treatment or 6 months after stopping chemotherapy \[or per label\]. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this trial, the treating physician should be informed immediately).
Exclusion Criteria
2. Persisting toxicity related to prior therapy (NCI CTCAE v. 4.03 Grade \> 1); however, alopecia, sensory neuropathy Grade ≤ 2, or other Grade ≤ 2 not constituting a safety risk based on Investigator's judgment are acceptable.
3. Concurrent anticancer treatment within 28 days before the start of trial treatment (e.g., cytoreductive therapy, radiotherapy \[with the exception of palliative bone directed radiotherapy\]; immune therapy, or cytokine therapy, except for erythropoietin.
4. Major surgery within 28 days before the start of trial treatment (excluding prior diagnostic biopsy); or use of any investigational drug within 28 days before the start of trial treatment.
5. Subjects receiving immunosuppressive agents (such as steroids) for any reason should be tapered off these drugs before initiation of the trial treatment (with the exception of subjects with adrenal insufficiency, who may continue corticosteroids at physiologic replacement dose, equivalent to ≤ 10 mg prednisone daily). Note: Previous or ongoing administration of systemic steroids for the management of an acute allergic phenomenon is acceptable as long as it is anticipated that the administration of steroids will be completed in 14 days, or that the daily dose after 14 days will be ≤10 mg per day of prednisone or equivalent.

7. Rapidly progressive disease disease (i.e. disease progression before or at the time of first tumor assessment, 8 - 12 weeks after initiation of systemic anti-cancer therapy).
8. ECOG performance status score ≥ 2.
9. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
10. History of pneumonitis or other interstitial lung disease
