A Phase l/ll Dose Escalation and Cohort Expansion Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Anti-CD27 Antibody (Varlilumab) Administered in Combination With Anti-PD-1 (Nivolumab) in Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors
This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety, and
tolerability of combining varlilumab and nivolumab (also known as Opdivo® , BMS-936558). Both
drugs target the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects.
tolerability of combining varlilumab and nivolumab (also known as Opdivo® , BMS-936558). Both
drugs target the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects.
Varlilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called CD27 found on
certain immune cells and may act to promote anti-tumor effects.
Nivolumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called PD-1 on immune
cells and promotes anti-tumor effects.
Eligible patients that enroll in the dose escalation portion of the study will be assigned to
one of three dose levels of varlilumab in combination with 3 mg/kg of nivolumab. The first
phase of the study will test the safety profile of the combination and determine which dose
will be studied in Phase ll of the overall study.
During Phase ll, depending on cancer type, groups of patients will be enrolled and receive
varlilumab at a dose of either 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, 3 mg/kg every 12 weeks, or 0.3 mg/kg
every 4 weeks in combination with nivolumab at 240 mg.
All patients enrolled in the study will be closely monitored to determine if there is
response to the treatment as well as for any side effects that may occur.

are excluded.
- 1c. Colorectal Cancer -Enrollment Completed
Metastatic or recurrent; prior treatment progression during, after, or intolerant
following the last administration of approved standard therapies (required therapies
apply).
- 1d. Glioblastoma -Enrollment Completed

(glioblastoma).
- Previous first line therapy with at least radiotherapy and temozolomide.
- Participants must have shown unequivocal evidence of tumor progression.
- More than one relapse, secondary glioblastoma and prior treatment with
bevacizumab are excluded.
An interval of at least 12 weeks from the completion of radiation therapy to start of
study treatment is required.
- 1e. Renal Cell Carcinoma
Have histologically confirmed diagnosis of predominant clear cell renal cell
carcinoma.
- Must have received 1 or 2 prior anti-angiogenic therapies.
- No more than 5 total previous regimens of systemic therapy, including cytokines
and cytotoxic chemotherapy.
- Disease progression during or after the last treatment regimen and within 6
months before study entry.
2. No more than 5 prior anticancer regimens for advanced (recurrent, locally advanced or
metastatic) disease except for patients with GBM which must have first recurrence of
GBM by diagnostic biopsy or contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
3. Measurable (target) disease.
4. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
5. If of childbearing potential (male or female), agree to practice an effective form of
contraception during study treatment and for at least 23 weeks after for female and 31
weeks after for male following last treatment dose.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
1. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies.
2. Prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 antibody.
3. Receipt of anti-CTLA-4 or anti-CD27 antibody within 3 months prior to the planned
start of study treatment.
4. Use of any monoclonal based therapies within 2-4 weeks prior to the first dose of
study treatment.
5. Chemotherapy within 21 days or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to
the planned start of study treatment.
6. BRAF/MEK inhibitors within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
7. Systemic radiation therapy within 4 weeks, prior focal radiotherapy within 2 weeks, or
radiopharmaceuticals (strontium, samarium) within 8 weeks prior to the first dose of
study treatment.
8. Use of immunosuppressive medications within 4 weeks or systemic corticosteroids within
2 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment.
9. Other prior malignancy, except for adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin
cancer or in situ cancers; or any other cancer from which the patient has been
disease-free for at least 3 years.
10. Active, untreated central nervous system metastases.
