  * Patients must have histologically- or cytologically-documented NSCLC who present with locally advanced, unresectable (Stage III) disease;
  * Without prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, targeted therapy or immunotherapy;
  * Tumour sample requirements: Mandatory provision of an unstained, archived tumour tissue sample in a quantity sufficient to allow for analysis;
  * A recent tumour biopsy (taken following completion of the most recent therapy) is an optional requirement, provided that a biopsy procedure is technically feasible and the procedure is not associated with unacceptable clinical risk;
  * Life expectancy ≥12 weeks;
  * World Health Organization (WHO) Performance Status of 0 or 1;
  * Evidence of post-menopausal status, or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients within 14 days before the use of study drug (HCG has a minimum sensitivity of 25 IU/L or equivalent);
  * Women must be non-breastfeeding
  * Women of reproductive age (WOCBP) must agree to comply with the contraceptive method during the study nivolumab treatment and for a period of 5 months following the last administration of the study treatment (i.e., 30 days \[ovulation cycle\] plus approximately 5 half-lives of the study drug).
  * Men who have sex with WOCBP must agree to comply with the contraceptive method during the study nivolumab treatment and for 7 months after the last administration of the study treatment (i.e. 90 days \[sperm renewal cycle\] plus approximately 5 half-life of the study drug).
  * Spermless men do not have to comply with contraceptive requirements. WOCBP who continues to be asexual with the opposite sex does not have to comply with contraceptive requirements, but must still undergo the pregnancy tests described in this section.
  * Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
* Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≥800ml
* Absolute neutrophil count \>1.5 x 109/L (1500 per mm3)
* Platelets \>100 x 109/L (100,000 per mm3)
* Haemoglobin≥9.0 g/dL (5.59 mmol/L)
* Serum creatinine clearance(CL) \>50 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and

  -Gault 1976)
* Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). ··Aspartate Transaminase(AST) and Alanine Transaminase(ALT) ≤2.5 x ULN

Exclusion Criteria:

* Exclusion criteria for enrolment for neoadjuvant therapy

Patients should not enter the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled:

* Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational(non-interventional) clinical study;
* Mixed small cell and non-small cell lung cancer histology;
* Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of Nivolumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid. Systemic steroid administration required to manage toxicities arising from radiation therapy delivered as part of the chemoradiation therapy for locally advanced NSCLC is allowed.
* Prior exposure to any anti-programmed cell death protein(PD)-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody;
* Recent major surgery within 4 weeks prior to entry into the study (excluding the placement of vascular access) that would prevent administration of nivolumab;
* Active or prior documented autoimmune disease within the past 2 years;
* Active or prior documented inflammatory bowel disease (eg. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis);
* History of primary immunodeficiency;
* History of organ transplant that requires therapeutic immunosuppression;
* Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) ≥470 ms calculated from3 electrocardiograms (ECGs) using Bazett's Correction;
* Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, active bleeding diatheses including any patient known to have hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent;
* Known history of tuberculosis;
* Receipt of live attenuated vaccination within 30 days prior to study entry or within30 days of receiving nivolumab;
* History of another primary malignancy within 5 years prior to starting nivolumab, except for adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or cancer of the cervix in situ and the disease under study;
* Female patients who are pregnant, breast-feeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not employing an effective method of birth control;
* Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of the nivolumab or interpretation of patient safety or study results.

Exclusion criteria for concurrent chemoradiation following neoadjuvant therapy

Patients should not enter the concurrent chemoradiation phase if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled:

* Patients who develop distant metastasis;
* Patients who develop locoregional disease progression and the irradiation dose of normal tissue will exceed the limit as defined in Section 7.
* World Health Organization (WHO) Performance Status of 2-4;
* Inadequate organ and marrow function as defined below:

  * Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \<800ml
  * Absolute neutrophil count \<1.5 x 109/L (1500 per mm3)
  * Platelets \<100 x 109/L (100,000 per mm3)
  * Haemoglobin\<9.0 g/dL (5.59 mmol/L)
  * Serum creatinine CL \<50 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and
* Gault 1976)

  * Serum bilirubin \>1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
  * Aspartate Transaminase(AST) and Alanine Transaminase(ALT) \>2.5 x ULN

Further exclusion criteria for randomization into Nivolumab consolidation or observation group

Patients should not enter the randomization if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled:

* Patients who have progressed whilst definitive platinum based, concurrent chemoradiation therapy;
* Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of Nivolumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid. Systemic steroid administration required to manage toxicities arising from radiation therapy delivered as part of the chemoradiation therapy for locally advanced NSCLC is allowed.
* Any unresolved toxicity CTCAE \>Grade 2 from the prior chemoradiation therapy will be excluded from randomization;
