Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) Based on IRRC Assessments in Cohorts A, B, and C [ Time Frame: From the date of first study drug dose up to approximately 28 months ]
    To assess the clinical benefit of nivolumab, as measured by ORR based on IRRC assessment, and defined as proportion of subjects achieving either a PR or CR according to the 2007 IWG criteria. Analyses of efficacy endpoints were performed separately for each cohort, according to IWG 2007. For cohort A and B, if the bone marrow was involved by lymphoma before treatment, the infiltrate must have cleared on repeat bone marrow biopsy. For cohort C, no evidence of FDG-avid disease in bone marrow will be required in all patients in lieu of bone marrow aspirate/ biopsy.

  2. Duration of Objective Response in Cohorts A, B, and C [ Time Frame: From the date of first study drug dose up to approximately 28 months ]
    DOR was defined as the time from first response (CR or PR) to the date of the first documented tumor progression as determined by the investigator using the 2007 IWG criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Appearance of any new lesion > 1.5 cm in any axis during or at the end of therapy, even if other lesions are decreasing in size. Increased FDG uptake in a previously unaffected site should only be considered relapsed or PD after confirmation with other modalities.

  3. Complete Remission Rate in Cohorts A, B, and C [ Time Frame: From the date of first study drug dose up to approximately 28 months ]
    The CR rate was defined as the number of subjects with a BOR of CR according to the 2007 IWG criteria, based on IRRC assessment, divided by the number of treated subjects.

  4. Duration of Complete Remission (CR) for Cohorts A, B, and C [ Time Frame: from date of first documented CR up to approximately 28 months ]
    The CR rate was defined as the number of subjects with a BOR of CR according to the 2007 IWG criteria, based on IRRC assessment, divided by the number of treated subjects. The duration of CR was only evaluated in subjects with BOR of CR and was defined as the time from first documentation of CR (the date of first negative FDG-PET scan or the date of first documentation of no disease involvement in the bone marrow (if required), whichever occurred later) to the date of initial objectively documented progression as determined using the 2007 IWG criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Censoring was applied as per DOR definition.

  5. Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Treatment Related Grade 3-5 AE in Cohort D [ Time Frame: From last dose up to 120 days ]
    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of nivolumab monotherapy during the monotherapy phase and the safety and tolerability of nivolumab in combination with AVD during the combination phase


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Partial Remission (PR) Rate in Cohorts A, B, and C [ Time Frame: From the time of the first documented PR up to approximately 28 months ]
    The PR rate was defined as the number of subjects with a BOR of PR according to the 2007 IWG criteria, based on IRRC assessment, divided by the number of treated subjects.

  2. Duration of PR in Cohorts A, B, and C [ Time Frame: From the time of the first documented PR up to approximately 28 months ]
    The duration of PR was only evaluated in subjects with BOR of PR and was defined as the time from first documentation of PR to the date of initial objectively documented progression as determined using the 2007 IWG criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Censoring was applied as per DOR definition.

  3. ORR Based on Investigator Assessments for Cohorts A, B, and C [ Time Frame: From the first dose to first progression, death, or start of other therapy up to 28 months ]
    Investigator-assessed ORR and DOR were defined similarly as described for ORR and DOR per IRRC assessment above, but were assessed per investigator using the 2007 IWG criteria.

  4. Duration of Objective Response (DOR) Based on Investigator Assessments in Cohorts A, B, and C [ Time Frame: From the date of first study drug dose up to approximately 28 months ]
    Investigator-assessed ORR and DOR were defined similarly as described for ORR and DOR per IRRC assessment above, but were assessed per investigator using the 2007 IWG criteria.

  5. Treatment Discontinuation Rate in Cohort D [ Time Frame: From date of first dose to end of combination therapy up to 28 months ]
    Subjects were treated with four doses of nivolumab flat dose 240 mg IV every 2 weeks (monotherapy phase), followed by twelve doses of the combination of AVD (Adriamycin/ doxorubicin 25 mg/m2, vinblastine 6 mg/m2, dacarbazine 375 mg/m2) chemotherapy and nivolumab flat dose 240 mg IV for 6 cycles (combination phase). Each 28-day dosing period constituted a Combocycle: two doses of the combination therapy per cycle, except for Combocycle 6, which was only a 15-day cycle. The combination therapy was administered every 2 weeks for 12 doses (two doses, Dose 1 on Day 1 and Dose 2 on Day 15, of each Combocycle x 6 cycles). The combination phase ended at Dose 2 (Day 15) of Combocycle 6. The primary analysis for Cohort D was conducted when all treated patients for Cohort D had completed follow-up visit 1 and end-of- therapy response assessment. All analyses for Cohort D were performed separately from other cohorts.

  6. Incidence of Deaths in Cohort D [ Time Frame: From first dose up to 28 months ]
    Safety was analyzed through the incidence of deaths, adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events leading to discontinuation, adverse events leading to dose delay, select adverse events and specific laboratory abnormalities (worst grade). Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Safety of subjects was analyzed per treatment phase (monotherapy phase, combination therapy phase) and overall.

  7. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) in Cohort D [ Time Frame: From last dose up to 120 days ]
    Safety was analyzed through the incidence of deaths, adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events leading to discontinuation, adverse events leading to dose delay, select adverse events and specific laboratory abnormalities (worst grade). Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Safety of subjects was analyzed per treatment phase (monotherapy phase, combination therapy phase) and overall.

  8. Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in Cohort D [ Time Frame: From last dose up to 120 days ]
    Safety was analyzed through the incidence of deaths, adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events leading to discontinuation, adverse events leading to dose delay, select adverse events and specific laboratory abnormalities (worst grade). Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Safety of subjects was analyzed per treatment phase (monotherapy phase, combination therapy phase) and overall.

  9. Incidence of AEs Leading to Discontinuation in Cohort D [ Time Frame: From last dose up to 120 days ]
    Safety was analyzed through the incidence of deaths, adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events leading to discontinuation, adverse events leading to dose delay, select adverse events and specific laboratory abnormalities (worst grade). Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Safety of subjects was analyzed per treatment phase (monotherapy phase, combination therapy phase) and overall.

  10. Incidence of AEs Leading to Dose Delay in Cohort D [ Time Frame: From last dose up to 120 days ]
    Safety was analyzed through the incidence of deaths, adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events leading to discontinuation, adverse events leading to dose delay, select adverse events and specific laboratory abnormalities (worst grade). Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Safety of subjects was analyzed per treatment phase (monotherapy phase, combination therapy phase) and overall.

  11. Incidence of Select AEs in Cohort D [ Time Frame: From last dose up to 120 days ]
    Select AEs have been categorized into seven areas: pulmonary toxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, hepatotoxicity, endocrinopathy, skin toxicity, neurological toxicity and renal toxicity. Select AEs, in particular pneumonitis, are considered clinically meaningful as they require greater vigilance and for early recognition and prompt intervention.

  12. Incidence of Grade 3-4 Laboratory Abnormalities in Cohort D [ Time Frame: From last dose up to 120 days ]
    Specific laboratory abnormalities (worst grade).
