Summary

This is a research study to find out the safety and tolerability of combining the drug evolucumab with standard immunotherapy in people with advanced lung cancer (a type called non-small cell lung cancer).

Nivolumab (Opdivo™) and ipilimumab (Yervoy™) are immunotherapy-type drugs which are approved for the treatment of advanced lung cancer that has expression of PD-L1 greater than or equal to 1%. Evolucumab is being combined with nivolumab and ipilimumab to see if it will improve the anti-tumor capabilities of the immunotherapy. Adding evolocumab to the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab has not been tested in people before and is considered investigational.
