This phase I/II trial studies the safety of CDX-301, CDX-1140, and stereotactic body radiotherapy and compares the effect of this combination compared to standard treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (advanced). Some tumors need growth factors, which are made by the body's white blood cells, to keep growing. CDX-301 increases the number of immune cells and may stimulate the immune system to kill tumor cells. CDX-1140 is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving CDX-30, CDX-1140, and stereotactic body radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish the safety of combining recombinant Flt3 ligand (FLT3 ligand), anti-CD40 agonist monoclonal antibody CDX-1140 (CD40 agonist antibody), and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that was previously treated with at least two lines of systemic therapy. (Phase I)
II. To assess the efficacy of combining FLT3 ligand, CD40 agonist antibody, and SBRT for advanced NSCLC that was previously treated with at least two lines of systemic therapy. (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate potential surrogate outcomes for clinical efficacy of FLT3 ligand, CD40 agonist antibody, and SBRT for advanced NSCLC, including makers of immune activation.
II. To characterize patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for patients with advanced NSCLC who receive standard therapy or a combination of FLT3 ligand, CD40 agonist antibody, and SBRT.
III. To explore the predictive value of physical activity metrics for patients with advanced NSCLC who receive standard therapy or a combination of FLT3 ligand, CD40 agonist antibody, and SBRT.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive recombinant Flt3 ligand (CDX-301) subcutaneously (SC) once a day (QD) on days 1-5, anti-CD40 agonist monoclonal antibody (CDX-1140) CDX-1140 intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes on day 9 and 4 weeks later. Patients with limited or extensive disease undergo SBRT at the same time (concurrently) with CDX-301 QD for a 5-fraction course of treatments or every other day for a 3-fraction course, and patients with limited disease may undergo SBRT on additional sites that extends into week 2. Patients only receive 1 cycle of treatment unless the treating physicians, the principal investigators, and the patient agree to administer more cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II: Patients with extensive disease receive standard chemotherapy treatment and have the option to undergo SBRT QD for a 5-fraction course of treatments or every other day for a 3-fraction course. Patients with limited disease undergo SBRT QD for a 5-fraction course of treatments or every other day for a 3-fraction course and may or may not receive standard chemotherapy treatment at the discretion of their treating physician.
After completion of study procedures, patients are followed for about 2 years.
