What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)	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 treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.	From first dose up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months
The Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe), requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.	From first dose up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months
The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Meeting Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Criteria	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 treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined based on the incidence, intensity, and duration of AEs for which no clear alternative cause is identified. The DLT period will be 28 days (4 weeks) in the Preliminary Safety Cohorts. Any toxicities that occur beyond the 4-week DLT period will also be considered in dose-level decisions. For the purpose of participant management, any AE that meets DLT criteria, regardless of the cycle in which it occurs, will lead to discontinuation of study treatment. AEs will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03.	From first dose up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months
The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation	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 treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.	From first dose up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months
The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events Resulting in Death	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 treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.	From first dose up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months
The Number of Participants Experiencing Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities	The number of participants experiencing abnormal laboratory results of Grade 3 or higher. Laboratory values will be graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03 with Grade 3=severe and Grade 4=life threatening.	From first dose up to 30 days post last dose (approximately 28 months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)	ORR is defined as the percentage of all treated participants whose best overall response (BOR) is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must also have reduction in the short axis to < 10 mm. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. BOR for a participant is defined as the best response designation recorded between the date of first dose (or date of randomization) and the date of first objectively documented progression per RECIST 1.1 or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurs first.	From first dose up to documented disease progression, up to 48 months
Median Duration of Response (DOR)	DOR for a participant with confirmed response is defined as the time from the date of first response CR or PR to the date of first objectively documented tumor progression as determined using RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Participant who remain alive and have not progressed will be censored on the date of their last tumor assessment. Participants who started subsequent anticancer therapy without a prior reported progression will be censored at the last tumor assessment prior to initiation of the subsequent anticancer therapy. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must also have reduction in the short axis to < 10 mm. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.	From first dose up to the date of the first objectively documented tumor progression or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 24 months)
Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate at 24 Weeks	The PFSR is defined as the Kaplan Meier estimate of percentage of treated participants remaining progression free and surviving at the prespecified timepoint of 24 weeks since the first dosing date. Progressive Disease (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: The appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression.)	At 24 weeks
Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADA) for BMS-986226	ADA for BMS-986226 is defined as the number of participants found to have seroconverted or boosted their pre-existing ADA during the study period. Baseline ADA positive is defined as ADA is detected in the last sample before initiation of treatment. ADA positive is defined as 1) an ADA detected (positive seroconversion) sample in a participant for whom ADA is not detected at baseline, or (2) an ADA detected sample with ADA titer to be at least 4-fold or greater (≥) than baseline positive titer.	Predose on cycles 1-6, post dose on C1D15, and 30, 60, and 100 days post last dose (up to approximately 31 months)
Changes From Baseline in Cell Surface ICOS Expression on T Cells	Summary measures of changes in Median of Fluorescence of ICOS (MFI) from baseline to the last evaluable time point in cell surface Inducible Costimulator (ICOS) expression on T cells. Baseline = last non missing value prior or on to the first dosing. MFI is a unit for median fluorescence intensity. This unit allows for measurement of relative expression of cell surface markers by a flow cytometer. For the ICOS expression assay, whole blood samples collected from patients on study were incubated with fluorescently labeled antibodies that specifically bind to ICOS. Samples were then analyzed for changes in MFI by flow cytometry. An increase in MFI between patient samples corresponds to an increase in cell surface ICOS expression on target cell subsets.	From baseline up to pre-dose and 4 hours post dose on C1D1 and pre-dose and 4 hours post dose on C2D1 (approximately 31 months)
Changes From Baseline in ICOS Ligand+ B Cells	Summary measures of changes in Median of Fluorescence of ICOS (MFI) from baseline to the last evaluable time point in ICOS ligand+ B cells in the tumor and peripheral blood. Baseline = last non missing value prior or on to the first dosing. MFI is a unit for median fluorescence intensity. This unit allows for measurement of relative expression of cell surface markers by a flow cytometer. For the ICOS expression assay, whole blood samples collected from patients on study were incubated with fluorescently labeled antibodies that specifically bind to ICOS. Samples were then analyzed for changes in MFI by flow cytometry. An increase in MFI between patient samples corresponds to an increase in cell surface ICOS expression on target cell subsets.
