• Microsatellite stable by PCR and/or mismatch repair proficient by immunohistochemistry
• ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
• Prior therapy with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan unless contraindicated or refused. Prior treatment with antiangiogenic and/or anti-EGFR antibody therapy is permitted but not required
• Measurable disease by RECIST v. 1.1

• Laboratory parameters:

  • Absolute neutrophil count > 1500/μL
  • Platelets > 100,000/μL
  • Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL
  • PT/INR or PTT < 1.5xULN
  • Creatinine < 1.5xULN OR creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula
  • Total bilirubin < 1.5xULN
  • Subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome must have a total bilirubin level of < 3.0xULN
  • Albumin > 3.0 g/dL
  • AST and/or ALT: < 3.0×ULN

• Subjects with HIV are permitted provided they meet the following criteria:

  • CD4+ cell count > 250 cells/mm3
  • No history of AIDS-defining conditions other than low CD4+ count
  • If subject is on antiretroviral therapy, there must not be expected significant drug-drug interactions with study treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

• Bowel obstruction within the past 60 days

• Subjects who are currently pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breast-feeding.

  • Females participants of child-bearing potential are required to use an effective contraception method or abstain from intercourse during treatment and for at least 5 months following the last dose
  • Males participants with partners of child-bearing potential are required to use an effective contraception method or abstain from intercourse during treatment and for at least 7 months following the last dose
• Subjects who, in the opinion of the physician, would not be clinically appropriate for receipt of the therapy regimen associated with participation

• Subjects with contraindications to immune checkpoint therapy, as follows:

  • Interstitial lung disease that is symptomatic or may interfere with the detection and management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity
  • Prior organ allograft or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation
  • Pre-existing thyroid abnormality with thyroid function that cannot be maintained in the normal range with medication
  • Active autoimmune disease, except for vitiligo, type 1 diabetes mellitus, asthma, atopic dermatitis, or endocrinopathies manageable by hormone replacement; other autoimmune conditions may be allowable at the discretion of the principal investigator

  • Condition requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids

    • Systemic steroids at physiologic doses (equivalent to dose of oral prednisone 10 mg) are permitted.
    • Intranasal, inhaled, topical, intra-articular, and ocular corticosteroids with minimal systemic absorption are permitted.
• Established non-peritoneal metastatic disease, including but not limited to metastases to the liver, lung, brain, extra-abdominal lymph nodes, and bone
• A second primary malignancy that, in the judgment of the investigator, may affect interpretation of results
• Prior treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-CTLA-4 antibody

• Toxicities attributed to prior anti-cancer therapy other than alopecia, fatigue, and peripheral neuropathy must have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline before administration of study drug. In addition, a washout period will be required for prior therapies as specified:

  • No chemotherapy within 14 days prior to first dose
  • No investigational product(s) (IPs) and/or biologic therapy within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to first dose
  • No major surgery within 28 days prior to first dose. Any surgery-related AE(s) must have resolved at least 14 days prior to first dose.
  • No radiation therapy with curative intent within 28 days prior to first dose. Prior focal palliative radiotherapy must have been completed at least 14 days prior to first dose.

• Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C, defined as the following:

  • Hepatitis B surface antigen positive or HBV DNA PCR >100 IU/mL
  • Hepatitis C antibody positive unless HCV RNA PCR is negative (i.e. undetectable viral load)
• Prisoners or participants who are involuntarily incarcerated. (Note: under specific circumstances a person who has been imprisoned may be included as a participant. Strict conditions apply and BMS approval is required.)
• Participants who are compulsorily detained for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (eg, infectious disease) illness
