Overview

The purpose of this study is to see if adding pirfenidone to atezolizumab will increase anti tumor activity and reduce treatment resistance in stage 4 and recurrent non- small cell lung cancer participants.

• Participant or legal representative is able to provide written informed prior to performing any protocol-related procedures
• Is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, laboratory testing and other requirements of the study

• Life expectancy of at least 6 months
• De novo stage IV or recurrent NSCLC without actionable mutation (e.g. EGFR/ ALK/ ROS-1) that was previously treated with either PD-1 / PD-L1 or the combination of PD1/PDL1 and cytotoxic chemotherapy, no more than 2 systemic regimens for metastatic disease with measurable disease *. Maintenance therapy will be considered part of the 1 regimen
• At least 1 measurable lesion
• PDL1 TPS score less than 1% or unknown: first-line must be PD1/PDL1 inhibitor in combination with chemotherapy

• Is able to swallow oral medications
• Adequate hematologic function
• Adequate organ function
