The purpose of this study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab, and nivolumab combination therapy, to treat patients who have virus-associated tumors. Certain viruses have been known to play a role in tumor formation and growth. This study will investigate the effects of the study drugs, in patients who have the following types of tumors:
- Anal canal cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type
- Cervical cancer
- Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) positive gastric cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type
- Merkel Cell Cancer
- Penile cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type
- Vaginal and vulvar cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type
- Nasopharyngeal Cancer - No longer enrolling this tumor type
- Head and Neck Cancer - No longer enrolling this tumor type

- Neoadjuvant: Number of Participants With Drug-Related Select Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From first dose to 30 days post last dose (Up to 2 months) ]Number of participants with any grade of drug-related select adverse events (AEs) including endocrine, gastrointestinal, hepatic, pulmonary, renal, skin, and hypersensitivity AEs in Neoadjuvant cohort
- Neoadjuvant: Number of Participants With Drug-Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From first dose to 30 days post last dose (Up to 2 months) ]Number of participants with any grade of drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) in Neoadjuvant cohort
- Neoadjuvant: Rate of Surgery Delay [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]Rate of surgery delay is defined as the percentage of participants in the neoadjuvant cohort with surgery delayed > 4 weeks from the planned surgery date or planned start date for chemoradiation due to a drug-related adverse event
- Metastatic: Investigator-Assessed Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 72 months ]
Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the the number of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by the number of treated participants using RECIST 1.1 criteria. An ORR in excess of 10% will be considered of clinical interest, and an ORR of 25% or greater will be considered of strong clinical interest.
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm.
Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
Participants with the following diseases will be assessed:
- EBV positive related gastric cancer;
- HPV positive SCCHN;
- Other anogenital HPV associated cancers;
- GYN (Cervical, Vaginal, Vulvar) carcinoma;
- Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC);
- Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
- Metastatic: Investigator-Assessed Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Up to 72 months ]
Duration of response (DoR) is defined as the time from first confirmed response (complete response or partial response) to the date of the initial objectively documented tumor progression as determined per investigator assessment using RECIST 1.1 criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants with the following diseases will be assessed:
- EBV positive related gastric cancer;
- HPV positive SCCHN;
- Other anogenital HPV associated cancers;
- GYN (Cervical, Vaginal, Vulvar) carcinoma;
- Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC);
- Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
- Metastatic: Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 72 months ]
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from first dosing date to the date of death. A participant who has not died will be censored at last known date alive. Participants with the following diseases will be assessed:
- EBV positive related gastric cancer;
- HPV positive SCCHN;
- Other anogenital HPV associated cancers;
- GYN (Cervical, Vaginal, Vulvar) carcinoma;
- Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC);
- Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
- Metastatic: Investigator-Assessed Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 72 months ]
Investigator-assessed progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from first dosing date to the date of the first documented tumor progression, as determined by investigators (per RECIST 1.1), or death due to any. Participants with the following diseases will be assessed:
- EBV positive related gastric cancer;
- HPV positive SCCHN;
- Other anogenital HPV associated cancers;
- GYN (Cervical, Vaginal, Vulvar) carcinoma;
- Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC);
- Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
