Study Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of entinostat and nivolumab when given together with ipilimumab in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or other parts of the body. Entinostat is in a class of drugs called histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth (locally advanced/metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving entinostat and nivolumab together with ipilimumab may work better in treating in patients with solid tumors.

Primary Outcome

Graded per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0. Safety and tolerability will be analyzed through the incidence of adverse events, serious adverse events, and specific laboratory abnormalities (worst grade) in each arm. Toxicities will be tabulated by type and grade for all doses and presented using frequencies and percentages based on the CTCAE v5.0. The proportion of dose-limiting toxicities at each dose level will be reported with exa
