Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The monoclonal anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab has been registered by both FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and EMA (European Medicine Agency), for metastatic NSCLC patients, after failure of a prior platinum-based chemotherapy.
The approval was based on the results of phase III clinical trials in metastatic NSCLC. But all the trials only enrolled patients with good general condition, PS (Performance Status) 0 or 1. However, the prevalence of poor PS patients at time of diagnosis is high in lung cancer patients.
For patients with metastatic NSCLC and PS 3, there is no standard treatment except best supportive care, since all trials that accrued unselected PS 3 patients fail to prove any survival advantage, and most PS \>3 patients die within 2 to 4 months from diagnosis. Indeed, these patients are currently excluded from clinical trials. Specific dedicated clinical trials and treatment guidelines for this patient population are urgently needed, taking into account for the high prevalence of such patients.

Inclusion Criteria
Subjects must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, and laboratory testing.
2. Histologically or cytologically-proven NSCLC (squamous or non-squamous). If the diagnosis is cytologically-proven, sufficient material is necessary with at least 100 tumor cells evaluated for PD-L1 IHC (Immunohistochemistry).
3. PD-L1 expression ≥25% of tumor cells as assessed by the local pathology laboratory using protocols validated.
4. Available tumor samples for centralized PD-L1 immunohistochemistry analysis.

10. Limited field of radiation for palliation within 2 weeks of the first dose of durvalumab is allowed, provided the lung is not in the radiation field and irradiated lesion(s) cannot be used as target lesions.
11. Age 18-75 years.
12. Measurable tumor disease by CT per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.
13. Life expectancy \> 8 weeks according to the investigator opinion.
14. Adequate biological functions:
neutrophils ≥ 1500/mm3 ; platelets ≥ 75 000/mm3 ; Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL ; Creatinine Clearance \> 40 mL/min , AST and ALT ≤ 2,5 ULN unless liver metastases are present, AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) ≤ 5 x ULN, serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN except for patients with proved, Gilbert syndrome (≤ 5 x ULN) or patients with hepatic metastases (≤ 3 x ULN).
15. Other investigations detailed in Section 5 must have been performed within the timelines indicated.
16. Protocol treatment is to begin within 7 days of patient inclusion.
17. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply:
* Women \<50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
* Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy).
18. Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a nonsterilized male partner or men who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential must use a highly effective method of contraception prior the first dose of investigational product, and must agree to continue using such precautions for 90 days after the final dose of investigational product. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception.
