    DLTs are defined based on the incidence, severity, and duration of adverse events (AEs) for which no clear alternative cause is identified. An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    The number of participants experiencing adverse events (AEs) to assess the overall safety and tolerability of BMS-986178 administered alone or in combination with Nivolumab and/or Ipilimumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    The number of participants experiencing serious adverse events (SAEs) to assess the overall safety and tolerability of BMS-986178 administered alone or in combination with Nivolumab and/or Ipilimumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.

    A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, and/or is an important medical event.


  4. The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation [ Time Frame: From first dose to 100 days after last dose (up to approximately 2.5 years) ]
    The number of participants experiencing adverse events (AEs) leading to discontinuation of study drug to assess the overall safety and tolerability of BMS-986178 administered alone or in combination with Nivolumab and/or Ipilimumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.

  5. The Number of Participant Deaths [ Time Frame: From first dose to study completion (up to approximately 4 years 5 months) ]
    The number of deaths in each arm to assess the overall safety and tolerability of BMS-986178 administered alone or in combination with Nivolumab and/or Ipilimumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: From baseline up to approximately 2.5 years ]

    The total number of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on assessment of tumor response using RECIST v1.1.

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions:

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

    Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR Baseline is defined as the last non-missing measurement prior to the first dosing date and time.


  2. Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: From baseline up to approximately 2.5 years ]

    The time between the date of first response and the subsequent date of disease progression or death (death after re-treatment will not be considered), whichever occurs first in participants with a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).

    Best overall response (BOR) is assessed per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions:

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.
