Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with or without ipilimumab works in treating patients with anal canal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Overall response rate: number of participants with response (Part A) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Responses assessed using computed tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging according to standard Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria in order to assess disease progression. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance all target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes reduction in short axis to < 10 mm (< 1 cm). Partial Response (PR): > 30% decrease in sum diameters of target lesions. Progressive Disease (PD): > 20% increase in sum diameters lesions. (Note: appearance of one or > new lesions considered progressions). Stable Disease (SD): Neither shrinkage qualify for PR nor increase for PD.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) (Part B) [ Time Frame: Time period from the date of randomization to the date of PD or death whichever occurred first, assessed up to 2 years ]
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Number of participants with toxicities (Part A) [ Time Frame: Up to 100 days post-treatment ]Will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. The most frequent of adverse events measured relative to the total number of patients treated, and the toxicities tabulated by grade according to CTCAE.
- Overall survival (Part A and B) [ Time Frame: From initiation of treatment with nivolumab until death, assessed up to 2 years ]Time measured from initiation of treatment with nivolumab till death. Kaplan-Meier analysis will be performed to estimate the median overall survival with a 95% confidence interval.
- Progression-free Survival (Part A) [ Time Frame: From initiation of treatment with nivolumab until the time of disease progression, assessed up to 2 years ]From initiation of treatment with nivolumab until the time of disease progression, time measured in months. Kaplan-Meier analysis performed to estimate the median progression-free survival with a 90% confidence interval.
- Overall response rates (Part B) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Responses assessed using CT scans or magnetic resonance imaging according to standard RECIST 1.1 criteria in order to assess disease progression. CR: Disappearance all target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes reduction in short axis to < 10 mm (< 1 cm). PR: > 30% decrease in sum diameters of target lesions. PD: > 20% increase in sum diameters lesions. (Note: appearance of one or > new lesions considered progressions). SD: Neither shrinkage qualify for PR nor increase for PD.
- Incidence of grade 3/4/5 adverse events (Part B) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Will be assessed by CTCAE version 5.0.
Other Outcome Measures:
- Expression of biomarkers using immunohistochemistry and blood samples (Part A) [ Time Frame: Up to time of treatment discontinuation ]Descriptive statistics including plots, mean, median and standard deviations will be used to summarize data. For continuous outcomes, t-test and analysis of variance will be used to compare outcome measures across patient characteristics. Pair-wise comparisons will be performed using pre- and post-therapy samples from each patient. The chi-square test or Fisher's exact test will be used to test the association between two categorical variables. Both univariate and multivariate logistic regressions will be performed to model prognostic factors.

- Before study enrollment, women of child bearing potential must be advised of the importance of avoiding pregnancy during study participation and the potential risk factors for an unintentional pregnancy; the subject must sign an informed consent form documenting this discussion; the effects of nivolumab and ipilimumab on the developing human fetus are unknown; for this reason women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; women of childbearing potential MUST have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG]) within 24 hours prior to the start of nivolumab with or without ipilimumab; the minimum sensitivity of the pregnancy test must be 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG; if the pregnancy test is positive, the subject must not receive nivolumab with or without ipilimumab and must not be enrolled in the study
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal; menopause is defined clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of other biological or physiological causes
- WOCBP receiving nivolumab (Parts A+B) or nivolumab and ipilimumab (Part B) will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 5 months after the last dose of investigational product; men receiving nivolumab (Parts A+B) or nivolumab and ipilimumab (Part B only) and who are sexually active with WOCBP will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 7 months after the last dose of investigational product; these durations have been calculated using the upper limit of the half-life for nivolumab (25 days) and are based on the protocol requirement that WOCBP use contraception for 5 half-lives plus 30 days and men who are sexually active with WOCBP use contraception for 5 half-lives plus 90 days
- Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she (or the participating partner) should inform the treating physician immediately; if, following initiation of the investigational product, it is subsequently discovered that a study subject is pregnant or may have been pregnant at the time of investigational product exposure, including during at least 6 half-lives after product administration, the investigational product will be permanently discontinued in an appropriate manner (e.g., dose tapering if necessary for subject safety); the investigator must immediately notify BMS of this event and record the pregnancy on the Pregnancy Surveillance Form (not an severe adverse event [SAE] form); initial information on a pregnancy must be reported immediately to BMS, and the outcome information provided once the outcome is known; completed Pregnancy Surveillance Forms must be forwarded to BMS according to SAE reporting procedures; any pregnancy that occurs in a female partner of a male study participant should be reported to the sponsor. Information on this pregnancy will be collected on the Pregnancy Surveillance Form; protocol-required procedures for study discontinuation and follow-up must be performed on the subject unless contraindicated by pregnancy (e.g., X-ray studies); other appropriate pregnancy follow-up procedures should be considered if indicated; in addition, the investigator must report and follow-up on information regarding the course of the pregnancy, including perinatal and neonatal outcome; infants should be followed for a minimum of 8 weeks
