Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: Nivolumab + Cabiralizumab; Nivolumab 240mg IV + Cabiralizumab 4mg/kg on day 1 of every 14 day cycle.

Drug: Nivolumab; Nivolumab (also referred to as BMS-936558 or MDX1106) is a human monoclonal antibody (HuMAb; immunoglobulin G4 [IgG4]-S228P) that targets the programmed death-1 (PD-1) cluster of differentiation 279 (CD279) cell surface membrane receptor. PD-1 is a negative regulatory molecule expressed by activated T and B lymphocytes.1 Binding of PD-1 to its ligands, programmed death-ligands 1 (PD-L1) and 2 (PD-L2), results in the down-regulation of lymphocyte activation. Inhibition of the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands promotes immune responses and antigen-specific T-cell responses to both foreign antigens as well as self-antigens.; Other Name: Opdivo; Drug: cabiralizumab; Nivolumab (also referred to as BMS-936558 or MDX1106) is a human monoclonal antibody (HuMAb; immunoglobulin G4 [IgG4]-S228P) that targets the programmed death-1 (PD-1) cluster of differentiation 279 (CD279) cell surface membrane receptor.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

   Overall Response Rate as determined by LYRIC (LYmphoma Response to Immunomodulatory therapy Criteria) criteria, at four months
2. Complete Response Rate(CRR) at four months [ Time Frame: 4 months ]
   Complete response rate, as determined by LYRIC criteria, at four months

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Overall response at four months by (LUGANO 2014) criteria [ Time Frame: four months ]
   Overall response, as determined by LUGANO 2014 criteria, at four months
2. Complete Response Rate at four months (LUGANO 2014) criteria [ Time Frame: four months ]
   Complete Response Rate, as determined by LUGANO 2014 criteria, at four months
3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 60 Months ]
   Progression-Free Survival will be measured from date of enrollment until the criteria for disease progression (PD) is met or death occurs. Subjects who have not progressed will be right-censored at the date of the last disease evaluation.
4. Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: 60 Months ]
   The proportion of all subjects with stable disease (SD) for 8 weeks, PR, or CR.
5. Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: 60 Months ]
   Duration of Response measured from the time that measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever status is recorded first) until the date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since treatment started).
6. Time to Next Treatment (TNT) [ Time Frame: 60 Months ]
   Time to next treatment (TNT) is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the institution of next treatment.
7. Summarize Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 60 Months ]
   Assess and summarize adverse events (AEs) using NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.

Systemic steroids at a dose less than the equivalent of 10 mg/day of prednisone and inhaled, nasal, and topical steroids are permitted. Adrenal replacement steroid doses > 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent in the absence of active autoimmune disease are permitted. Treatment with a short course of steroids (< 5 days) up to 7 days prior to study registration is permitted. Intermittent dexamethasone for the treatment of nausea/emesis is also permitted.
