Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Ipilimumab
Treatment: Drugs - Nivolumab

Experimental: Ipilimumab and Nivolumab - All Subjects will be treated with: Nivolumab at 3 mg/kg and ipilimumab at 1 mg/kg concurrently every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by nivolumab only at 480mg every 4 weeks until progression (up to 2 years)


Treatment: Drugs: Ipilimumab
CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4) is a key regulator of T cell activity. Ipilimumab is a CTLA-4 immune checkpoint inhibitor that blocks T-cell inhibitory signals induced by the CTLA-4 pathway, increasing the number of tumor reactive T effector cells which mobilize to mount a direct T-cell immune attack against tumor cells. CTLA-4 blockade can also reduce T regulatory cell function, which may lead to an increase in anti-tumor immune response.

Treatment: Drugs: Nivolumab
A fully human immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed cell death-1 (PD-1,PCD-1) with immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. Nivolumab binds to and blocks the activation of PD-1, an Ig superfamily transmembrane protein, by its ligands programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), overexpressed on certain cancer cells, and programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2), which is primarily expressed on APCs (antigen presenting cells). This results in the activation of T-cells and cell-mediated immune responses against tumor cells or pathogens. Activated PD-1 negatively regulates T-cell activation and and plays a key role in in tumor evasion from host immunity.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Signed Written Informed Consent

* Subjects must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, laboratory testing, and other requirements of the study
2. Target Population

* a) Histologically confirmed Neuroendocrine cancers: Atypical bronchial carcinoid, neuroendocrine carcinoma and Grade 3 NETs independent of primary site (SCLC excluded); Biliary Tract Cancers: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder carcinoma; Gynaecological malignancies: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma, uterine clear cell carcinoma, uterine/ovarian carcinosarcoma, uterine leiomyosarcoma, vaginal/vulva squamous cell carcinoma; Mismatch repair protein deficient (MSI-H) cancers (excluding colorectal carcinoma)
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of =1
* Prior systemic therapy (=1) for advanced disease is permitted if it was completed at least 4 weeks prior to enrolment, and all related adverse events have either returned to baseline or stabilized or participants are not suitable for, or if declining established standard therapies. For MSI-H rare cancers and atypical bronchial carcinoid only, patients will be eligible independent of the number of prior lines of systemic treatment received as long as treatment has been completed at least 4 weeks prior to enrolment.
* Prior radiotherapy must have been completed at least 2 weeks prior to study drug administration.
* Measurable disease by CT or MRI per RECIST 1.1 criteria
* Tumour tissue from an unresectable or metastatic site of disease must be available for biomarker analyses.
* Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria and should be obtained within 14 days prior to randomization:

* WBC (white blood cells) > or = to 2000/µL
* Neutrophils > or = to 1500/µL
* Platelets > or = to 100 x103/µL
* Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL
* Serum creatinine < or = to 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) 40 mL/min (using the Cockcroft-Gault formula)
* AST/ALT (aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase) < or = to 3 x ULN (in the event of metastatic liver disease, an exception to this upper limit may be accepted in consultation with the study physician).
* Total Bilirubin < or = to 1.5 x ULN (Upper limit of normal) (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome, who can have total bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dL).
* Subject Re-enrolment: This study permits the re-enrolment of a subject that has discontinued the study as a pre-treatment failure (i.e. subject has not been treated) after obtaining agreement from the medical monitor prior to re enrolling a subject. If re-enrolled, the subject must be re-consented.
3. Age and Reproductive Status

* Men and women, > or = to 18 years of age
* Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use method(s) of contraception. WOCBP should therefore use an adequate method to avoid pregnancy for 23 weeks (30 days plus the time required for Nivolumab to undergo five half lives) after the last dose of investigational drug.
* Women must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 24 hours prior to the start of investigational product.
* Women must not be breastfeeding
* Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must use any contraceptive method with a failure rate of less than 1 percent per year. Men that are sexually active with WOCBP must follow instructions for birth control when the half life of the investigational drug is greater than 24 hours, contraception should be continued for a period of 90 days plus the time required for the investigational drug to undergo five half lives. The half life of nivolumab and ipilimumab is up to 25 days and 18 days, respectively. Given the blinded nature of the study, men who are sexually active with WOCBP must continue contraception for 31 weeks (90 days plus the time required for nivolumab to undergo five half lives) after the last dose of investigational drug.
* Women who are not of childbearing potential (i.e. who are postmenopausal or surgically sterile and azoospermic men do not require contraception.

Key exclusion criteria
1. Target Disease Exceptions

* Active brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. Subjects with brain metastases are eligible if these have been treated and there is no magnetic resonance imaging (MRI except where contraindicated in which CT scan is acceptable) evidence of progression for at least 8 weeks after treatment is complete and within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug administration. Cases should be discussed with the medical monitor. There must also be no requirement for immunosuppressive doses of systemic corticosteroids (> 10 mg/day prednisone equivalents) for at least 2 weeks prior to study drug administration.
2. Medical History and Concurrent Diseases

* Prior combination treatment directed against the PD-1/PDL1 (Programmed Death Ligand 1) axis (anti PD 1, anti PD-L1, anti PD L2), and anti CTLA 4 antibody. Prior monotherapy with these agents or other immune-stimulating/regulating agents is permitted.
* Any serious or uncontrolled medical disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, impair the ability of the subject to receive protocol therapy, or interfere with the interpretation of study results.
* Prior malignancy active within the previous 3 years except for locally curable cancers that have been apparently cured, such as basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the prostate, cervix, or breast.
