Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: In the group of individuals progressing during durvalumab theray, patients will be randomized to the experimental arm (durvalumab+chemotherapy) or to the standard arm (chemotherapy alone). The standard arm will act as a calibration arm.

In the second groups patients will be randomized to the experimental arm durvalumab+chemotherapy followed by maintenance durvalumab+olaparib or to the other experimental arm durvalumab+chemotherapy followed by maintenance durvalumab.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: This is a randomized, non-comparative, phase II study investigating whether: 1) the addition of durvalumab to investigator's choice second line chemotherapy prolongs survival versus investigator's choice second line chemotherapy in NSCLC patients with locally advanced disease progressing on durvalumab given after concomitant chemoradiotherapy; 2) whether the addition of olaparib to durvalumab improves survival over durvalumab alone after induction chemoimmunotherapy in patients relapsing after completing durvalumab maintenance therapy for stage III disease.

After evaluation of inclusion and exclusion criteria and after consent form signature, all eligible patients progressing during durvalumab therapy will be in the Part A of the trial randomized to in a 1:1 ratio to investigator's choice single-agent chemotherapy plus durvalumab (Arm A: experimental arm) or to investigator's choice single-agent chemotherapy (Arm B: standard arm). In the clinical trial's Part B, patients progressing after completion of durvalumab therapy will be further randomized in a 1:1.7 ratio to investigator's choice platinum doublet chemotherapy plus durvalumab for 4 cycles followed by maintenance durvalumab plus olaparib (Arm C: experimental arm) or to investigator's choice platinum doublet chemotherapy plus durvalumab for 4 cycles followed by durvalumab (Arm D: experimental arm). Therapy will be continued up to disease progression, toxicity or patient refusal.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Body weight \>30kg
2. Recurrent or metastatic NSCLC relapsed during or after completion of chemoradiotherapy with curative intent and maintenance durvalumab for stage III disease. Patients are eligible if they receive at least two cycles of platinum based chemotherapy or radical radiotherapy
3. Tumor tissue available for biomarker testing.
4. Evidence of disease progression during durvalumab maintenance or at the end of planned treatment. Patients who have interrupted planned durvalumab treatment after at least 6 months for reasons other than toxicity or progression (e.g. patient's choice, logistic reasons, intercurrent acute illnesses) are eligible. Patients progressing during the first three months of Durvalumab are not eligible
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
6. Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up
