- Disease control without allograft loss [ Time Frame: At 14 weeks ]Defined as complete or partial response (CR; PR) or stable disease (SD), at 14 weeks per response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1. The percent of kidney transplant recipients who experience CR/PR/SD at 14 weeks and do not experience allograft loss after administration of nivolumab, ipilimumab, sirolimus, and prednisone will be calculated, along with the corresponding exact 95% confidence interval (CI).
- Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Defined as the proportion of subjects whose best overall response from baseline is either a CR or PR, based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. ORR will be estimated along with 95% exact CI.
- Rate of allograft loss and rejection [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Renal allograft rejection rate will be estimated as the proportion of subjects who experience markers of allograft rejection. Allograft loss is defined as allograft rejection leading to complete, permanent, and irreversible loss-of-function of the renal allograft.
- Duration of response (DOR) among patients who experience CR or PR [ Time Frame: From the time criteria are met for CR/PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent disease or PD is documented, up to 5 years ]DOR will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From the first dose of nivolumab + ipilimumab to the date of the first documented tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, up to 5 years ]Kaplan-Meier curves will be used to summarize PFS.
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: From the first dose of nivolumab + ipilimumab to the date of death from any cause, up to 5 years ]Kaplan-Meier curves will be used to summarize OS.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must be kidney transplant recipients with a functioning allograft who do not currently require dialysis
- Patient's age must be >= 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event (AE) data are currently available on the use of nivolumab and ipilimumab in kidney transplant recipients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but may be eligible for future pediatric trials
-
Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed non-uveal melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma for which standard non-immunological medical, surgical, or radiation therapy would be insufficient (i.e., patients who are not surgical candidates). Patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or Merkel cell carcinoma may enroll without prior medical therapy (e.g., cetuximab or chemotherapy respectively). Non-immunologic standard therapies that patients must have received, refused or for which patients were ineligible include:
- For patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma, prior therapies include BRAF/MEK inhibitors
- For patients with Basal cell carcinoma, prior therapies include hedgehog pathway inhibitors
- Patients must have measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria, i.e., at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as >= 20 mm by chest x-ray or as >= 10 mm with CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or calipers by clinical exam is preferred, but not required
- Patients must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%) performance status criteria
- Leukocytes >= 2,000/mcL
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL
- Platelets >= 50,000/mcL
- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 x institutional ULN
- Serum creatinine =< 3 x ULN
- dd-cfDNA =< 1.0% and =< 61% increase
- The effects of nivolumab and ipilimumab on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, and because other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) receiving nivolumab must continue contraception for a period of 5 months after the last dose of nivolumab. Women who are not of childbearing potential (i.e., who are postmenopausal or surgically sterile) as well as azoospermic men do not require contraception.
WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [B-HCG]) during the screening period. Follow-up evaluations will include interval sexual/menstrual histories as needed.
Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she (or the participating partner) should inform the treating physician immediately.
WOCBP is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. Women under the age of 55 must have a documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level less than 40 mIU/mL to be considered postmenopausal.
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients will be eligible for this trial if they are on effective antiretroviral regimens utilizing non-CYP-interactive agents and have an undetectable viral load. If there is evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated. If there is history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, the patient must have been treated and have undetectable HCV viral load.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study participants
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have received a liver, lung, heart, or pancreas transplant; or allogeneic stem cell transplant; or any kind of bone marrow transplant
- Patients unwilling or unable to undergo dialysis in the event of allograft failure
- Patients with prior evidence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) or non-HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA)
- Patients with a history of antibody- or cell-mediated allograft rejection within 3 months of study entry
- Potential trial participants should have recovered from clinically significant adverse events of their most recent therapy/intervention prior to enrollment
- Patients must not have had prior treatment for their current cancer with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-LAG-3 or anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways within 1 year of study enrollment. Prior history of adjuvant therapy is allowed if received over 1 year prior to enrollment
- Patients must not be receiving any other investigational agents
- Patients with leptomeningeal metastases, more than 3 untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases, untreated brain metastases measuring >1cm, or requiring treatment-dose steroids (> 10 mg/day prednisone equivalents) for CNS-related symptoms. Exclusions are due to concerns regarding progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other AEs. Patients with brain metastases meeting the above requirements are permitted to enroll
- Patients must not have a history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any monoclonal antibody
- Patients must not have a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to other agents used in the study
- Patients must not have uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or any other significant condition(s) that would make this protocol unreasonably hazardous
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because nivolumab and ipilimumab have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for AEs in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with nivolumab or ipilimumab. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study
- Patients with autoimmune disease that is active or might recur and affect vital organ function will be eligible only after consultation with the study PI. Guillain-Barre (GB) syndrome, bullous skin disease, Stevens Johnson syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis will be excluded
- Patients must not have had evidence of active or acute diverticulitis, intra-abdominal abscess, GI obstruction and abdominal carcinomatosis which are known risk factors for bowel perforation should be evaluated for the potential need for additional treatment before coming on study. In addition, patients with a history of cardiac disease including coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, heart block, should have an evaluation by history pulmonary embolism (PE) and appropriate testing to allow evaluation of any events that may occur on study. These may include troponin, electrocardiogram (EKG), echocardiogram (ECHO) as clinically indicated and may include results already in the medical record if available
