Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) a tumor vaccine (GM.CD40L) used in combination with Nivolumab will have on participants and their cancer. Another purpose of the study is to find out the maximum tolerated dose of nivolumab in combination with GM.CD40L vaccine. Investigators also want to find out if the combination of GM.CD40L and nivolumab can boost the immune system of participants like you, and how their immune system reacts, both before and after the treatment.

Detailed Description: This study has two parts and participants may be involved in either Phase I part or Phase II. Phase I: Investigators plan to enroll participants in cohorts of 6 and monitor side effects over a 21 day period to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of nivolumab, which will be given in combination with GM.CD40L. This is being done since this study involves a combination of treatments that have not been studied in humans before and to find the best dose for the Phase II part of the study. Phase II: Investigators plan to compare any clinical benefit in the participants who receive the combination of GM.CD40L vaccine with nivolumab, to participants that receive only nivolumab.
