Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Participants who have been treated with whole head radiation for brain metastases
  • Invasive cancers not being treated on this trial (i.e. lymphoma that received systemic therapy) diagnosed \< 3 years prior that required systemic treatment. This is intended to include a patient with melanoma who was diagnosed \< 3 years prior to screening for this trial that has received antecedent systemic therapy.
  • Prior anti-cancer therapy for melanoma, renal cell cancer, or urothelial cancer less than 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment.
  • Participants currently receiving systemic corticosteroids doses over 15mg prednisone or equivalent.

Other illness

  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Any condition which in the Investigator's opinion deems the participant an unsuitable candidate to receive study treatment.
  • Other active non-melanoma, non-renal cell, or non-urothelial metastatic cancers requiring systemic treatment.
  • Participants with uncontrolled HIV or hepatitis.

Other

  • Participants diagnosed with uveal melanoma
  • Pregnant or nursing females
  • Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements.

Who the study is looking for

  • Participants must have histologically confirmed unresectable stage III or stage IV cutaneous melanoma, stage IV renal cell cancer, and stage IV urothelial cancer.
  • ECOG performance status 0-2.
  • Have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 or iRECIST. Refer to Appendix B
  • Have the following clinical laboratory values:
    • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/ μL
    • Hgb ≥ 9 g/dL
    • Platelet count ≥ 75, 000/ μL
    • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (upper limit of normal)
    • AST and ALT ≤ 2x ULN
    • Serum Creatinine \< 2x ULN
  • Female participants who:
    • Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before entering the screening visit, OR
    • Are surgically sterile, OR
    • Agree to practice true abstinence from heterosexual contact or agree to use effective contraception without interruption during the study therapy and 90 days after the last dose.
  • Male participants who:
    • Are surgically sterile, OR
    • Agree to practice true abstinence from heterosexual contact or agree to use effective contraception without interruption during the study therapy and 90 days after the last dose.
