Brief Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of anti-CTLA4-NF monoclonal antibody (mAb) (BMS986218), nivolumab, and stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with solid malignancies that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-CTLA4-NF mAb (BMS-986218) and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving -CTLA4-NF mAb (BMS986218), nivolumab, and stereotactic body radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Incidence of adverse events

  The incidence of clinical and laboratory adverse events will be reported and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Adverse events will be reported in frequency tables overall, by intensity, and by relationship. Laboratory values will be reported in shift tables and with summary statistics. Chi-squared or Fisher exact tests will be used to compare safety between two arms. Logistic regression may be used to evaluate the predictive potential of tumor-associated and systemic immune biomarkers for toxicity prediction, and whether skeletal mass, neutrophil, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, and tumor bulk are correlated with adverse events.

  Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Tumor response

  Up to 12 months

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Patients must have histological confirmation of solid metastatic cancer with at least one metastatic or primary lesion in the bone, adrenal, liver or lung/chest.
• All patients must have at least one metastatic or primary lesion within the bone, lung/chest, liver or adrenal located in an anatomical location amenable to radiation treatment with either 50 Gy in 4 fractions, 60 Gy in 10 fractions, or 30 Gy in 5 fx. Patients may not have more then 80% liver displaced with cancer.
• Repeat radiation in fields previously radiated will be allowed at the discretion of the treating physician
• Age \>= 18 years
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin) within 24 hours prior to the start of study treatment. Subjects of childbearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not been in postmenopausal state. Females in postmenopausal state under the age of 55 years must have a serum follicle stimulating hormone, (FSH) level \> 40 mIU/mL to confirm menopause
• Women must not be breastfeeding for the duration of the study and 105 days AFTER completion of study treatment for BMS-986218 monotherapy treatment, 155 days AFTER completion of combination therapy (BMS-986218 + nivolumab) or 5 months AFTER completion of nivolumab maintenance treatment
• WOCBP receiving monotherapy or combination therapy treatment with BMS-986218 must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of contraception or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the duration of the study and 105 days AFTER completion of study treatment for BMS-986218 monotherapy treatment, 155 days AFTER completion of combination therapy (BMS-986218 + nivolumab) or 5 months AFTER completion of nivolumab maintenance treatment. WOCBP who are continuously not heterosexually active are exempt from contraceptive requirements, but should still undergo pregnancy testing as described in this section. In the case of male participants, during the course of treatment and 165 days AFTER the end of BMS-986218 monotherapy treatment or 215 days AFTER the end of combination therapy treatment (BMS-986218 + nivolumab) or 7 months AFTER completion of nivolumab maintenance treatment the participant should not father a child (condom use is mandatory, even if vasectomized) or donate sperm. Local laws and regulations may require use of alternative and/or additional contraception methods
• Male participants who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for methods of contraception during monotherapy treatment with BMS-986218 plus 5 half-lives (75 days) of BMS-986218 plus 90 days for a total of 165 days after the end of BMS-986218 monotherapy treatment or 215 days after the end of combination therapy treatment (BMS-986218 + nivolumab), or 7 months AFTER completion of nivolumab maintenance treatment. In addition, male participants must be willing to refrain from sperm donation during this time
