Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of pre-operative cryoablation, ipilimumab and nivolumab on on 3-year Event Free Survival (EFS), in women with residual hormone receptor negative, HER2-negative ("triple negative") resectable breast cancer after taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

      The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of pre-operative cryoablation,
      ipilimumab and nivolumab on 3-year Event Free Survival (EFS), in women with triple negative
      breast cancer after taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Our strategy combines two
      interventions: induced activation and maturation of dendritic cells and tumor-specific T
      cells by cross-presentation of tumor antigens via local destruction of tumor tissue by
      cryoablation. Second, we administer ipilimumab, a CTLA4 blocking antibody that enhances the
      magnitude and potency of the tumor specific T cell response, with nivolumab, a PD-1 blocking
      antibody that interferes with PD-1 mediated T-cell regulatory signaling. Women with residual
      triple negative resectable breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be treated with
      tumor cryoablation and pre-operative nivolumab and ipilimumab followed post-operative
      nivolumab. Women undergoing either mastectomy or breast conserving surgery are eligible.

             days plus the time required for nivolumab and ipilimumab to undergo five half-lives)
             after the last dose of investigational drug

          -  Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test

             specified in this protocol.

          -  Prior checkpoint blockade administration is permitted with a washout period of 3 weeks

               -  "Women of childbearing potential" is defined as any female who has experienced
                  menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or
                  bilateral oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined
                  clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of other
                  biological or physiological causes.

        Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab will be
        instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 23 weeks after the last dose of
        investigational product. Men receiving nivolumab and who are sexually active with WOCBP
        will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 31 weeks after the last dose
        of investigational product. These durations have been calculated using the upper limit of
        the half-life for nivolumab (25 days) and are based on the protocol requirement that WOCBP
        use contraception for 5 half-lives plus 30 days and men who are sexually active with WOCBP
        use contraception for 5 half-lives plus 90 days.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Medical history and concurrent diseases

               -  Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past
                  2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or
                  immunosuppressive drugs). Note: Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or
                  physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary
                  insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.

               -  Any underlying medical or psychiatric condition, which in the opinion of the
                  investigator, will make the administration of study drug hazardous or obscure the

                  use, for example for the management of chemotherapy-associated toxicities, are
                  allowed. The use of corticosteroids on study is allowed for the treatment of
