This phase II trial tests the addition of BMS-986016 (relatlimab) to the usual immunotherapy after initial treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Relatlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach of treatment is initial treatment with chemotherapy such as the combination of cisplatin (or carboplatin) and gemcitabine, along with immunotherapy such as nivolumab. After the initial treatment is finished, patients may continue to receive additional immunotherapy. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. Giving BMS-986016 in addition to the usual immunotherapy after initial treatment may extend the time without the tumor cells growing or spreading longer than the usual approach in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer.

Cutaneous melanoma is a bad prognosis skin cancer, which can be treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), such as anti-PD-1 (nivolumab, nivo) and anti-CTLA-4 (ipilimumab, ipi). However, about 50% of patients do not respond or relapse within 3 years post therapy induction, and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as colitis, are triggered and can be treated with TNF inhibitor (TNFi; ie, infliximab, inflix). The pharmacodynamic impact of TNFi on the immune and clinical responses remain to be clarified. The investigators previously demonstrated that TNFi enhance the efficacy of ICI in mouse melanoma models. Based on preclinical findings, the investigators implemented two clinical trials in advanced melanoma patients, TICIMEL and MELANFalpha. In TICIMEL, patients are concomitantly treated with TNFi \[certolizumab (certo) or inflix\] and ICI (ipi+nivo). In MELANFalpha, patients are treated with ICI alone. Preliminary results show both tritherapies promote systemic MART-1 specific CD8 T cell responses and that certo but not inflix may improve ICI efficacy and Th1 responses. In mouse melanoma models, TNFi enhance the response to ICI. Investigators' primary objective is to decipher how certolizumab and infliximab influence ICI-dependent anti-tumor immune responses in advanced melanoma patients. The secondary objectives are to analyse the cellular and molecular impact anti-TNF have on ICI-dependent anti-melanoma immune responses and clinical activities (irAEs and efficacy). By combining mouse and human data as well ex vivo functional assays, the investigators will dissect the impact treatments have on anti-melanoma immune responses by flow cytometry and transcriptomic analyses. The investigators expect to clarify (i) the mechanisms by which TNFi enhance ICI efficacy, (ii) identify the best TNFi to be combined with ICI in advanced melanoma patients and (iii) discover TNF-dependent biomarkers of resistance.

Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for stage II, III and resectable stage IV melanoma and is curative in most cases. Given the recent success of immunotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced metastatic melanoma, the use of immunotherapy has been evaluated in the adjuvant setting for patients at high risk of recurrence. In this context, Nivolumab prolonged Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS) while reducing toxicity compared with Ipilimumab in a phase III clinical trial, and was subsequently FDA-approved in December 2017 for adjuvant treatment of locally advanced melanoma with metastatic lymph node involvement after resection of cutaneous lesions. While a fraction of patients benefit from adjuvant PD-1 immunotherapy, approximately 40% of patients are still relapsing despite this adjuvant treatment, without being able to identify them early and with poor understanding of resistance mechanisms. Additionally, about 15% of the patients will develop serious adverse effects driven by immunotherapy and often discontinuing or even contraindicating the onset of subsequent treatments, hence affecting global patients care. It is therefore of prime importance to identify clinical features able to predict response and toxicities to adjuvant immunotherapy in melanoma.

The aim of this research project is to determine whether a short bout of physical exercise immediately before the start of immunotherapy (Nivolumab and Ipilimumab) is feasible and has a positive effect on the effectiveness of immunotherapy. It is known that short-term physical exercise leads to marked changes in the innate and adaptive immune system. These changes-specifically an increase in natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T cells-are associated with a better response to immunotherapy.
The patient population selected for this study consists of patients with advanced-stage melanoma who are receiving Nivolumab and Ipilimumab.
First, we aim to assess whether such an intervention is feasible in a large proportion of patients, as many patients experience disease-related and treatment-related side effects.
Secondary objectives are to demonstrate that the exercise intervention positively influences the immune system and that this, in turn, leads to an improved response to therapy, thereby positively affecting patient survival, improving quality of life, and reducing treatment-related side effects.
Eligibility: 18 Years and older · All · * Histologically confirmed metastatic malignant melanoma with an indication for immunotherapy (Nivolumab and Ipilimumab).
* The participant provides written informed consent for the study.
* The participant is at least 18 years of age on the day the informed consent is signed.
* No prior systemic anticancer therapy for metastatic disease (e.g., cytotoxic or targeted agents).
* ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status score of ≤ 2.
* No physical impairment that would preclude participation in physical exercise.
