Rucaparib in combination with NivolumabExperimentalOne treatment cycle will consist of 28 days. Patients will receive rucaparib at 600 mg, orally, twice daily, continuously for 28 days. They will receive 480mg of nivolumab intravenously on day 1 of every four-week cycle. This is the recommended phase II dose of the combination therapy. Re-staging scans will be performed every 8 weeks. Treatment will be repeated until the patient develops progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity or for a maximum duration of 26 cycles as long as patients are receiving benefit from treatment, have not had disease progression, met any criteria for study withdrawal and are tolerating therapy.

             meningitis. Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided
             they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks
             prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned
             to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using
             steroids for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment. This exception does not include
             carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability.

          -  Evidence of clinically significant immunosuppression such as the following:

               -  Primary immunodeficiency state such as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease

               -  Concurrent opportunistic infection

               -  Receiving systemic immunosuppressive therapy (> 2 weeks) including oral steroid
                  doses > 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent within 7 days prior to enrollment.
                  However, in the setting of non-immune mediated indications for steroid use,
                  chronic/active low dose steroid use may be permitted at the discretion of the
                  principal investigator. The dose of steroid allowed in this setting is also at
                  the discretion of the principal investigator. (Use of inhaled or topical steroids
                  is permitted.)

             drugs or biological agents used for treatment of autoimmune diseases) in past 2 years
             prior to enrollment. Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine for hypothyroidism, insulin
             for diabetes or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or
             pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment for autoimmune

                  a likely safety risk (e.g., alopecia, neuropathy)

               -  Note: If subject received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from
                  the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy
                  events due to a previously administered agent.
