Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: "Hot" tumors for Advanced Prostate CancerExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with ≥ 15% CD8 cells in their tumor biopsies (ie, CD8 high tumors) will be treated with single-agent nivolumab. At PD, participants will be allowed to add ipilimumab.
Group II: "Hot" tumors for Advanced Metastatic CancerExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with ≥ 15% CD8 cells in their tumor biopsies (ie, CD8 high tumors) will be treated with single-agent nivolumab. At PD, participants will be allowed to add ipilimumab.
Group III: "Cold" tumors for Advanced Prostate Cancer Cohort BExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with < 15% CD8 cells in their tumor biopsies (ie, CD8 low tumors) will be treated with nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab.
Group IV: "Cold" tumors for Advanced Prostate Cancer Cohort AExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with < 15% CD8 cells in their tumor biopsies (ie, CD8 low tumors) will be treated with nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab.
Group V: "Cold" tumors for Advanced Metastatic CancerExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with < 15% CD8 cells in their tumor biopsies (ie, CD8 low tumors) will be treated with nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab.
