• Interstitial lung disease that is symptomatic or may interfere with the detection or management of suspected treatment-related pulmonary toxicity.
• Current or history of clinically significant muscle disorders (e.g., myositis), recent unresolved muscle injury, or any condition known to elevate serum CK levels.

• Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease including, but not limited to, any of the following:

  • Myocardial infarction or stroke/transient ischemic attack within the past 6 months
  • Uncontrolled angina within the past 3 months
  • Any history of clinically significant arrhythmias (such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or torsades de pointes)
  • History of other clinically significant heart disease (e.g., cardiomyopathy (impaired LVEF), congestive heart failure with New York Heart Association functional classification III to IV, pericarditis, significant pericardial effusion, or myocarditis)
  • Cardiovascular disease-related requirement for daily supplemental oxygen therapy.

Intervention / Treatment

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

Drug: Nivolumab; Nivolumab 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. Nivolumab will be delivered intravenously at a fixed dose of 240 mg on day 1 of 14 day cycles.; Other Names: BMS-936558; Opdivo; MDX1106; Drug: cabiralizumab; Cabiralizumab is a recombinant, humanized Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that binds to human colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R; c-fms). Cabiralizumab will be delivered intravenously at a dosage of 4 mg/kg on day 1 of 14 day cycles.; Other Names: FPA008; BMS-986227

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall Response Rate (ORR) at Four Months (LYRIC Criteria)	Overall Response Rate (CR + PR) as determined by LYRIC (LYmphoma Response to Immunomodulatory therapy Criteria), at four months (shown as number of participants with CR or PR at 4 months). LYRIC: An adaptation of the Lugano classification developed because discriminating true progressive disease from pseudoprogression in lymphoma patients receiving immunomodulatory agents is challenging. To address this challenge, the LYRIC criteria incorporated the response category of "indeterminate response" (IR).; IR(1): ≥ 50% increase in overall tumor burden (sum of the product of the perpendicular diameters (SPD) of up to 6 target measurable nodes and extranodal sites) occurred in the 1st 12 weeks of therapy and without clinical deterioration; IR(2): new lesions or ≥ 50% increase of existing lesion(s) without a ≥ 50% increase of overall tumor burden at any time during treatment.; IR(3): increased FDG uptake of 1or more lesions without any increase in size or number of those lesions.	4 months
Complete Response Rate (CRR) at Four Months	Complete response rate, as determined by LYRIC criteria, at four months (reported as number of participants with CR at 4 months). LYRIC: An adaptation of the Lugano classification developed because discriminating true progressive disease from pseudoprogression in lymphoma patients receiving immunomodulatory agents is challenging. To address this challenge, the LYRIC criteria incorporated the response category of "indeterminate response" (IR).; IR(1): ≥ 50% increase in overall tumor burden (sum of the product of the perpendicular diameters (SPD) of up to 6 target measurable nodes and extranodal sites) occurred in the 1st 12 weeks of therapy and without clinical deterioration; IR(2): new lesions or ≥ 50% increase of existing lesion(s) without a ≥ 50% increase of overall tumor burden at any time during treatment.; IR(3): increased FDG uptake of 1or more lesions without any increase in size or number of those lesions.	4 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall Response at Four Months by (LUGANO 2014) Criteria	Overall response (CR + PR), as determined by LUGANO 2014 criteria (reported as number of participants with a CR or PR at 4 months). The Lugano classification is utilized for both lymphoma staging and response assessment and incorporates PET-CT imaging. Responses are described as either partial or complete, with a complete response requiring disappearance of metabolically active sites of disease.	four months
Complete Response Rate at Four Months (LUGANO 2014) Criteria	Complete Response Rate, as determined by LUGANO 2014 criteria, at (reported as number of participants with a CR at 4 months). The Lugano classification is utilized for both lymphoma staging and response assessment and incorporates PET-CT imaging. A complete response requires disappearance of metabolically active sites of disease.	four months
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	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.	Up to one year post treatment discontinuation or an estimated maximum of 60 months
Disease Control Rate (DCR)	The proportion of all subjects with stable disease (SD) for 8 weeks, PR, or CR.	Up to one year post treatment discontinuation or an estimated maximum of 60 months
Duration of Response (DOR)	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).	Up to one year post treatment discontinuation or an estimated maximum of 60 months
Time to Next Treatment (TNT)	Time to next treatment (TNT) is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the institution of next treatment.	Up to one year post treatment discontinuation or an estimated maximum of 60 months
Summarize Adverse Events	Assess and summarize adverse events (AEs) using NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.	Up to 100 days post treatment discontinuation or an estimated maximum of 60 months
