Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works when given alone and in combination with ipilimumab or chemotherapy in treating patients with previously untreated stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, docetaxel, and pemetrexed, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab with ipilimumab or chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer compared to chemotherapy alone.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Major pathologic response (mPR) [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Will be compared to historical controls. Simon's minimax two-stage design will be applied to test the major pathologic response rate for each one of the three treatment arms. The study will also apply the Bayesian framework to calculate the posterior probability of mPR rate. The 95% credible interval of the mPR rate will be constructed. In addition, we will calculate the probability that the mPR rate is at least 15% (i.e., defining that drug is efficacious) under the beta-binomial model.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of adverse events graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
  2. Peri-operative morbidity and mortality [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Descriptive statistics will be provided to summarize the data distribution. Association analysis by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient will be calculated for continuous data and chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical data. The goals for these analyses are for hypothesis generating. The results will need to be confirmed by future studies.

  3. CD8 positive (+) tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) quantification [ Time Frame: During surgical procedure ]
    Quantification of CD8+ TILs will be assessed by counting the cells positive for staining with an anti-CD8 antibody by immunohistochemistry in five random square areas (1 mm^2 each) in both intratumoral and peritumoral compartments using the automated Aperio system.

  4. Response rates as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v. 1.1 [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Time-to-event endpoints will be computed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

  5. Recurrence-free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Descriptive statistics will be provided to summarize the data distribution. Association analysis by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient will be calculated for continuous data and chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical data. The goals for these analyses are for hypothesis generating. The results will need to be confirmed by future studies.

  6. Overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Descriptive statistics will be provided to summarize the data distribution. Association analysis by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient will be calculated for continuous data and chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical data. The goals for these analyses are for hypothesis generating. The results will need to be confirmed by future studies.

  7. Major pathologic response [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Will be correlated with recurrence-free and overall survival. Descriptive statistics will be provided to summarize the data distribution. Association analysis by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient will be calculated for continuous data and chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical data. The goals for these analyses are for hypothesis generating. The results will need to be confirmed by future studies.

  8. Evaluation of complete resection (R0) [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Descriptive statistics will be provided to summarize the data distribution. Association analysis by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient will be calculated for continuous data and chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical data. The goals for these analyses are for hypothesis generating. The results will need to be confirmed by future studies.

  9. Pathological complete response [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
  10. Evaluate response assessed by imaging studies [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Will be correlated with outcomes (both major pathologic response to treatment and long-term recurrence-free survival). Descriptive statistics will be provided to summarize the data distribution. Association analysis by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient will be calculated for continuous data and chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical data. The goals for these analyses are for hypothesis generating. The results will need to be confirmed by future studies.

  11. Evaluate blood, tissue, and stool-based biomarkers [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Will be correlated with efficacy and toxicity. Descriptive statistics will be provided to summarize the data distribution. Association analysis by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient will be calculated for continuous data and chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical data. The goals for these analyses are for hypothesis generating. The results will need to be confirmed by future studies.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Identification of novel prognostic and predictive markers [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Multivariate analysis will be used to explore the role of biomarkers in predicting pathologic response to treatment, in an exploratory way.

  2. Modulation of markers by induction immunotherapy [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]
    Multivariate analysis will be used to explore the role of biomarkers in predicting pathologic response to treatment, in an exploratory way.
