Experimental Treatment
Group I: CIVO Microdose Injection of Motolimod and NivolumabExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients who are scheduled for surgical biopsy or tumor resection surgery will be injected at least four hours to up to four days prior to surgery using the CIVO device. Each needle of the CIVO device will deliver up to 8.3 microliters of solution, including a vehicle control (sterile saline) or subtherapeutic microdoses of motolimod, nivolumab, or motolimod combined with nivolumab. Each microdose is simultaneously injected in a columnar fashion through each of 8, 5, or 3 needles (in a device configuration determined by tumor dimensions) into a single solid tumor or effaced metastatic lymph node.
