Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age greater than or equal to 18
  • A pituitary adenoma/carcinoma of any histology
  • ° Patients with unresectable tumors that are radiographically (and/or biochemically) consistent with a pituitary adenoma may be considered for enrollment without pathologic confirmation with approval from the principal investigator.
  • Progression on imaging following radiotherapy
  • ° Patients with pituitary carcinomas in whom there is not felt to be a palliative benefit to treatment with radiotherapy are eligible for enrollment without prior radiotherapy.
  • Measurable disease by RANO criteria
  • At least 4 weeks have elapsed since the patient last received temozolomide and the patient must have recovered hematologically from other chemotherapeutics
  • Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) greater than or equal to 70
  • Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria:
  • WBC \>/= 2000/uL
  • Neutrophils \>/= 1500/uL
  • Platelets \>/= 100 x 10\^3/uL
  • Hemoglobin \> 9.0 g/dL
  • AST/ALT \</=3 x ULN
  • Total Bilirubin \</= 1.5 x ULN (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome, who can have total bilirubin \<3.0 mg/dL)
  • +5 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • A corticosteroid requirement of greater than 4mg per day of dexamethasone (or an equivalent dose). NOTE: Patients requiring a physiologic replacement dose of corticosteroids, who may require stress dose corticosteroids, due to adrenal insufficiency are permitted onto this trial
  • Active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease within the past 2 years. NOTE: Subjects are permitted to enroll if they have vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger
  • Patients should be excluded if they have had prior systemic treatment with a CTLA-4 antibody. Prior treatment with PD1 or PD-L1 antibodies are permitted as long as the patient did not experience serious toxicities requiring treatment discontinuation related to prior PD-1 or PD-L1 therapy
  • Patients should be excluded if they have a known history of testing positive for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBV sAg) or hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV antibody) indicating acute or chronic infection
  • Patients should be excluded if they have a known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
  • History of allergy to study drug components
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any monoclonal antibody
  • Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding
  • Inability to undergo radiographic surveillance
