This phase Ib trial tests the safety, tolerability, and best dose of copanlisib in boosting immune response in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) whose disease has not worsened after chemoradiation treatment and is being considered for durvalumab maintenance. Copanlisib may decrease the rate of tumor coming back by blocking a key enzyme that is crucial for immunosuppression. Adding copanlisib to durvalumab maintenance may change how cancer responds to treatment, for how long, and may increase the length of time prior to disease progression (worsening).

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Determine the safety and tolerability of copanlisib (Day 1, Day 15) added to durvalumab consolidation therapy in patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the objective response rate (ORR) of copanlisib when added to durvalumab for up to two-years post-treatment initiation.
II. To estimate progression free survival (PFS) of lung cancer patients treated with this combination therapy for up to two-years post-treatment initiation.
III. To estimate duration of response (DOR) for up to two-years post-treatment initiation.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-finding and expansion study of copanlisib.
Patients receive durvalumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1 and copanlisib IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression of disease toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) and blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days then every three months for 2 years.
