About this trial
This is a single center, phase Ib/II study combining an anti-PD-1 antibody and an anti-CTLA-4 antibody with IL-15. It is testing the hypothesis that the addition of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept to nivolumab and ipilimumab will augment the clinical activity of those two drugs.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

At least 18 years of age.
Disqualifiers
Mixed histology including small cell lung cancer.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase Ib acceptable dose participants and Phase II participants)
PFS is defined as the duration of time from the start date of study treatment to the date of earliest progression or death, whichever occurs first. Patients who neither progress nor die by the data cutoff date will be censored at the last follow up date.
Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (Phase Ib participants)
DLTs are defined in the protocol.
Secondary outcomes
Adverse event effect rate (All participants)
Defined as the number of study treatment related adverse events (AEs) and discontinuations due to treatment-related AEs. Adverse events will be assessed using the CTCAE v5.0 criteria.
Disease control rate (DCR) (Phase Ib acceptable dose participants and Phase II participants)
DCR is defined as the proportion of patients achieving either a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD), according to RECIST 1.1. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (\<10 mm short axis). Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD), taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.
Duration of response (DoR) (Phase Ib acceptable dose participants and Phase II participants) (Phase Ib acceptable dose participants and Phase II participants)
DoR is defined as the time from the confirmation of a CR of PR according to RECIST 1.1 until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented or death from any cause. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (\<10 mm short axis). Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
Objective response rate (ORR) (Phase Ib acceptable dose participants and Phase II participants)
ORR is defined as the proportion of patients achieving CR or PR measured according to RECIST 1.1. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (\<10 mm short axis). Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
