What is Involved?

This study has 2 parts: a screening period and a study dosing period.

If you join this study, during the screening period you will:

  • Have blood draws
  • Visit the clinic for various tests to see if you're eligible for the dosing period
  • Have a new tumor biopsy

If you're eligible for the dosing period, you will:

  • Have blood draws
  • Have imaging scans (CT and MRI)
  • Receive nivolumab and chemotherapy with or without the study drug, followed by more chemotherapy
  • The immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) used in this study are given by injection into a vein (IV) every 2 weeks. The study drug (evolocumab) is given by injection under the skin.

You will be randomly assigned (fair chance) to receive nivolumab and ipilimumab with or without evolucumab. .

Treatments will continue as long as you are benefitting.
