Purpose
This clinical trial is studying two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) given
together as a possible treatment for INI1-negative tumors.
Detailed Description
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial, which tests the safety and effectiveness of
an investigational drug or drug combination to learn whether the drug or drug combination
works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the drug combination is
being studied.
The names of the study drugs involved in this study are:
- Nivolumab (OPDIVO)
- Ipilimumab (YERYOY)
This trial is studying whether nivolumab and ipilimumab work to treat INI1-negative cancers.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved combination nivolumab and
ipilimumab for the specific diseases in this study but it has been approved for other
diseases. Nivolumab and ipilimumab have been tested in children to find out a safe dose of
this combination.

myelosuppressive chemotherapy

nonmonoclonal biologic agent
- Monoclonal antibody: At least 21 days after the last dose

Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents.
- Participants must not be receiving concomitant systemic steroid medications The use of
physiologic doses of corticosteroids (up to 5 mg/m2/day prednisone equivalent) may be
approved after consultation with the PI (treatment with topical, inhaled or ophthalmic
corticosteroid is acceptable)
- Participants with a known history of HIV, hepatitis B, and/or hepatitis C
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection or any other concurrent disease which in the judgment of the Investigator
would make the subject inappropriate for enrollment on this study

pneumonitis
- Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 12
months, or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome
that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents. Subjects with vitiligo or
resolved childhood asthma/atopy are exceptions. Intermittent use of bronchodilators or
local steroid injections are not excluded. Replacement therapy (e.g. thyroxine,
insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary
insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment. Autoimmune
diagnoses not listed must be approved by the Principal Investigator.
- Patients who have received prior solid organ transplantation are not eligible.
- Pregnancy or Breast-Feeding. Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on
this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as there is yet no
available information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities. Pregnancy tests
must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal.
- Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2 or anti-CTLA4
