Study Summary

Nivolumab releases the inhibition of the immune system against human cancers. Dramatic and sustained activity has been observed in advanced lung cancer. Ablation may stimulate the immune system by exposing new tumor antigens. Since tumors that express PD-L1 may be more likely to respond to nivolumab, if ablation increases PD-L1 expression (which has not been studied) this treatment may enhance the activity of nivolumab at both the treated site and in other, non-treated, tumors. Ablation is already an FDA approved treatment for cancer. Nivolumab was recently FDA approved for second line treatment of advanced squamous cell NSCLC. The goal of the study will be to determine if the combination of nivolumab and ablation has higher systemic activity than previously reported with nivolumab alone.

Primary Outcome

Assessment of tumor response by scan 12 weeks post the first dose of Nivolumab and approximately every 12 weeks after. Post progression by RECIST a 1 month confirmatory scan will be done and that will be the indicator of Progression.

Interventions

  • DRUG nivolumab and ablation
