Study Summary

This is a Phase II, open-label, single arm study. The study will consist of an assessment of the safety and tolerability of tocilizumab administered concurrently at 4 mg/kg every 6 weeks for 5 doses in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab for four induction doses to week 12, then maintenance nivolumab alone up to one year to patients with advanced melanoma. Treatment will be divided into induction and maintenance phases. It is anticipated that this clinical study will inform the use of this 3-drug combination for further phase II and/or phase III clinical testing. The trial will include an assessment of the pharmacodynamic activity of tocilizumab administered in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab.

Primary Outcome

Adverse events are graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 5.0. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are specific events occurring within 100 days of the last dose (which includes pneumonitis, diarrhea/colitis, hepatitis, nephritis/renal dysfunction, rash, and endocrine abnormalities \[adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism/thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, and hypophysitis\]), regardless of causality, for which patients received immunosuppressive medication for treatment of the
