Phase I: Varlilumab dosing will be dependent on the cohort assigned in combination with 3 mg/kg of nivolumab every two weeks.

Phase II: Patients with CRC, RCC or GBM enrolled in Phase ll will receive 3.0 mg/kg of varlilumab in combination with 240 mg of nivolumab every 2 weeks. Patients with SCCHN or ovarian cancer will receive varlilumab at a dose of either 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, 3 mg/kg every 12 weeks, or 0.3 mg/kg every 4 weeks, in combination with 240 mg of nivolumab every 2 weeks.

Patients may be discontinued from receiving study treatment based on the results of disease assessments or if experiencing intolerable side effects.

Combination of varlilumab and nivolumab

This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of combining varlilumab and nivolumab (also known as Opdivo® , BMS-936558). Both drugs target the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects.

Varlilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called CD27 found on certain immune cells and may act to promote anti-tumor effects.

Nivolumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called PD-1 on immune cells and promotes anti-tumor effects.

Eligible patients that enroll in the dose escalation portion of the study will be assigned to one of three dose levels of varlilumab in combination with 3 mg/kg of nivolumab. The first phase of the study will test the safety profile of the combination and determine which dose will be studied in Phase ll of the overall study.

During Phase ll, depending on cancer type, groups of patients will be enrolled and receive varlilumab at a dose of either 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, 3 mg/kg every 12 weeks, or 0.3 mg/kg every 4 weeks in combination with nivolumab at 240 mg.

All patients enrolled in the study will be closely monitored to determine if there is response to the treatment as well as for any side effects that may occur.
