Exceptions: Subjects with vitiligo, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus type I or resolved childhood asthma/atopy are an exception to this rule. Subjects that require intermittent use of bronchodilators or local steroid injections would not be excluded from the study. Subjects with Hashimoto thyroiditis, hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement or psoriasis not requiring treatment are not excluded from the study. i) Live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of treatment or during study treatment. j) History or clinical evidence of Central Nervous System (CNS) metastases Exceptions are: Subjects who have completed local therapy and who meet both of the following criteria: I. are asymptomatic and II. have no requirement for steroids 6 weeks prior to start of treatment. Screening with CNS imaging (CT or MRI) is required only if clinically indicated or if the subject has a history of CNS.
  • Medication that is known to interfere with any of the agents applied in the trial.
  • Any other efficacious cancer treatment except protocol specified treatment at study start.
  • Patient has received any other investigational product within 28 days of study entry.
  • Female subjects who are pregnant, breast-feeding or male/female patients of reproductive potential who are not employing an effective method of birth control (failure rate of less than 1% per year). [Acceptable methods of contraception are: implants, injectable contraceptives, combined oral contraceptives, intrauterine pessars (only hormonal devices), sexual abstinence or vasectomy of the partner]. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (serum β-HCG) at screening.
  • Patient with any significant history of non-compliance to medical regimens or with inability to grant reliable informed consent.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a confirmed complete response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters). Responses are according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by investigator.

    Time frame: max 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Disease control rate (DCR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD).

    Time frame: max 24 months

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    DOR is defined as the time from first documented complete or partial response until disease progression, death from any cause, or censoring at date of last tumor assessment.

    Time frame: max 24 months

  3. Time to Response (TTR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    TTR is defined as the time from the start of treatment until the first objective observation of a response (either partial response, PR, or complete response, CR), provided that the response is subsequently confirmed

    Time frame: max 24 months

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    PFS is defined as the time from study treatment to disease progression or all-cause death as assessed by the investigator (whichever occurs first)

    Time frame: max 24 months

  5. Overall survival (OS) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    OS is defined as the time from study treatment to the date of death of the subject, regardless of the cause of death.

    Time frame: max 42 months

  6. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants who experience at least one AE will be reported.

    Time frame: max 42 months

Other outcomes

  1. Translational study

    Proportion of different immune cell types in tumors based on single-cell RNA sequencing between responders and non-responders.

    Time frame: max 24 months
