Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of stage IV NSCLC without epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-sensitizing mutation, ROS1 and/or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocation.
* Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.
* Tumor tissue that demonstrates programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in ≥ 50% of tumor cells (tumor proportion score \[TPS\] ≥ 50%) as assessed by immunohistochemistry at a central laboratory.
* Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
* Adequate organ function per protocol-defined criteria.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Known untreated central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
* History of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required systemic steroids or current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.
* Symptomatic ascites or pleural effusion.
* Known history of an additional malignancy, except if the participant has undergone potentially curative therapy with no evidence of that disease recurrence for 5 years since initiation of that therapy.
* Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years.
* Has had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant.
* Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. HIV testing is not required unless mandated by the local health authority.
* Has known history of or is positive for active Hepatitis B (HBsAg reactive) or has active Hepatitis C (HCV RNA). Note: Testing must be performed to determine eligibility.
* History or presence of an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) that, in the Investigator's opinion, is clinically meaningful.
* Use of protocol-defined prior/concomitant therapy.
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of stage IV NSCLC without epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-sensitizing mutation, ROS1 and/or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocation.
* Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.
* Tumor tissue that demonstrates programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in ≥ 50% of tumor cells (tumor proportion score \[TPS\] ≥ 50%) as assessed by immunohistochemistry at a central laboratory.
* Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
