This phase IV study is hoping to determine if examining the microbiome in non-small cell lung cancer, immunotherapy naive participants can predict the effectiveness of immunotherapy treatment as well as determine ahead of time adverse events and their severity. In addition, the investigator will look into microbiome changing modifiers.
