Ipilimumab and Lenalidomide in Advanced Cancer

Participant gender:
All
Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of Yervoy® (ipilimumab) with Revlimid® (lenalidomide) that can be given to patients with advanced cancer. The safety of these drugs will also be studied. Ipilimumab is designed to increase the immune system's ability to fight cancer. Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. This may decrease the growth of cancer cells.

prior to starting therapy in patients with a history of major surgery within past 6
weeks. Patients may have received palliative localized radiation immediately before or
during treatment provided that radiation is not delivered to the only site of disease
being treated under this protocol. For biologic/targeted agents patients must be >/= 5
half-lives or >/= 3 weeks form the last dose (whichever comes first).

4. ECOG performance status
5. Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function defined as: absolute neutrophil
count >/= 1,000/mL platelets >/=50,000/mL; CrCl >/=60mL/min by Cockcroft -Gault
calculation; total bilirubin indirect hyperbilirubinemia such as Gilbert syndrome); ALT(SGPT) willingness to participate in the RevAssist® program. Females: two effective
contraceptive methods should be used during therapy, during therapy interruptions, and
for at least 4 weeks after completing therapy. Males: must always use a latex condom
during any sexual contact with females of childbearing potential, even if they have
undergone a successful vasectomy.

6. Patients must be able to understand and be willing to sign a written informed consent
document.

1. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including, but not limited to, uncontrolled
infection, uncontrolled asthma, need for hemodialysis, need for ventilatory support.

2. Pregnant or lactating women.

3. History of hypersensitivity to ipilimumab.

4. History of hypersensitivity to lenalidomide.

5. Patients unwilling or unable to sign informed consent document.

6. Patients on hemodialysis.

7. History of organ transplantation.

8. History of autoimmune disease, including inflammatory bowel disease.
