Exclusion Criteria:
Any of the following because this study involves an investigational agent whose genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown:
- Pregnant persons
- Nursing persons
- Persons of childbearing potential OR able to father a child who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
Any of the following prior therapies:

- Failure to recover to =< grade 1 (or baseline) from adverse events due to previously administered therapies or prior surgery. Exceptions: Neuropathy, fatigue, and/or alopecia may be grade 1
Known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases. NOTE: Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided all of the following are true:
- They are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging =< 4 weeks prior to registration and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline)
- Have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and
- Are not using steroids =< 14 days prior to registration
- Known leptomeningeal disease
- Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens
- Known active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (defined as patients who are not on anti-retroviral treatment and have detectable viral load and CD4+ < 500/ml). NOTE: HIV-positive patients who are well controlled on anti-retroviral therapy are allowed to enroll
Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment, documented history of severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents. NOTE: Exceptions are allowed for:

Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication < 14 days prior to registration. The following are exceptions to this criterion:
- Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intraarticular injection)
- Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent
- Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., premedication for computed tomography [CT] scans)

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
