        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Autoimmune disease: patients with a history of inflammatory bowel disease, including
             ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease, are excluded from this study, as are patients
             with a history of symptomatic disease (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic progressive
             sclerosis [scleroderma], systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune vasculitis [eg,
             Wegener's Granulomatosis]) and motor neuropathy considered to be of autoimmune origin
             (e.g., Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis). Patients with Hashimoto's
             thyroiditis are eligible to go on study. Active, known, or suspected autoimmune
             disease. Patients with an autoimmune paraneoplastic syndrome requiring concurrent

             hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement, skin disorders (such as vitiligo,
             psoriasis, or alopecia) not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected
             to recur in the absence of an external trigger are permitted to enroll

          -  A condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily
             prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of study

             associated with study participation or study drug(s) administration or interfere with
             the interpretation of safety results

          -  Major surgery or significant traumatic injury that is not recovered at least 14 days
             before the initiation of prostate radiation therapy

             positive test for hepatitis C virus (HCV) using HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) or HCV
             antibody test indicating acute or chronic infection

Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Phase 1: Safety Run In - Rate of Dose Limiting Toxicity (CTCAE V5.0)
Time Frame:Up to 12 weeks after initiation of Nivolumab
Safety Issue:
Description:An initial set of 6 participants will be enrolled at Dose Level 1. If 0 or 1 dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed during Cycle 1, enrollment in the phase II at Dose Level 1 will be initiated. If DLT is observed in 2 patients during Cycle 1, an additional 3 participants will be enrolled at Dose Level 1 (total 9 patients). If DLT is observed in ≤ 2 of 9 patients, enrollment in the phase II as Dose Level 1 will be initiated. If DLT is observed in 3 or more of 9 patients at Dose Level 1, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will have been exceeded, this combination will be determined to be unsafe to conduct the phase II portion of the trial, and the trial will be discontinued. CTCAE

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Time to PSA Nadir
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:To observe and record anti-tumor activity as defined by "time to PSA nadir". The PSA nadir is the absolute lowest level that the PSA drops after treatment.
