IVB with measurable disease and/or detectable blood involvement based on the Global
Cutaneous Lymphoma Response Criteria
- Patients must have had at least one line of prior systemic therapy
- Age >= 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on
the use of duvelisib in combination with nivolumab in patients < 18 years of age,
children are excluded from this study
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 50%)
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1000/mcL
- Platelets > 75,000/mcL
- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) or =< 5 x
institutional ULN if with history of Gilbert's syndrome
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase
[SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT])
=< 3 x institutional ULN
- Creatinine =< 2.0 x institutional ULN
- Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after
central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression
- Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of
treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac
function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be
eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better
- The effects of nivolumab and duvelisib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For
this reason and because other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be
teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) and men must agree to use
adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior
to study entry and for the duration of study participation. WOCBP should use an
adequate method to avoid pregnancy for 5 months after the last dose of nivolumab and
duvelisib. WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum
sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG]) within
7 days prior to the start of nivolumab and duvelisib. Women must not be breastfeeding.
Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must use any contraceptive method with a
failure rate of less than 1% per year. Men receiving nivolumab and duvelisib and who
are sexually active with WOCBP will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a
period of 7 months after the last dose of investigational product. Women who are not
of childbearing potential (i.e., who are postmenopausal or surgically sterile as well
as azoospermic men) do not require contraception. WOCBP is defined as any female who
has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization
(hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal. Menopause is
defined clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of
other biological or physiological causes. In addition, women under the age of 55 must
have a documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level less than 40 mIU/mL
- Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is
participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men
treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception
prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 7 months after
completion of administration of investigational agents on this study
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Participants with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a
legally-authorized representative (LAR) and/or family member available will also be
eligible
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral
therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior therapy with a PI3K inhibitor
- Prior therapy with nivolumab or other agents targeting T-cell co-stimulation or
checkpoint pathways
- Patients with active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease that might
recur, which may affect vital organ function or require immune suppressive treatment
including systemic corticosteroids, should be excluded. These include but are not
limited to patients with a history of immune related neurologic disease, multiple
sclerosis, autoimmune (demyelinating) neuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia
gravis; systemic autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),
connective tissue diseases, scleroderma, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's,
ulcerative colitis, hepatitis; and patients with a history of toxic epidermal
necrolysis (TEN), Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or phospholipid syndrome should be
excluded because of the risk of recurrence or exacerbation of disease. Patients with
vitiligo, endocrine deficiencies including thyroiditis managed with replacement
hormones including physiologic corticosteroids are eligible. Patients with rheumatoid
arthritis and other arthropathies, Sjogren's syndrome and psoriasis controlled with
topical medication and patients with positive serology, such as antinuclear antibodies
(ANA), anti-thyroid antibodies should be evaluated for the presence of target organ
involvement and potential need for systemic treatment but should otherwise be eligible

residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition only requiring hormone
replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to
recur in the absence of an external trigger (precipitating event)
- Patients should be excluded if they have a condition requiring systemic treatment with
either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other
immunosuppressive medications within 7 days of study drug administration. Inhaled or
topical steroids, steroids for physiologic or adrenal replacement doses =< 10 mg daily
prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
Patients are permitted to use topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, and
inhalational corticosteroids (with minimal systemic absorption). A brief course of
corticosteroids for prophylaxis (e.g., contrast dye allergy) or for treatment of
non-autoimmune conditions (e.g., delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by
contact allergen) is permitted
- History of tuberculosis treatment within the 2 years prior to enrollment

study therapy
- Ongoing treatment with systemic steroids at dose equivalent to greater than prednisone
10 mg daily or other immunosuppressive medication within 7 days of initiation of study
therapy
- Inhaled steroids will be permitted
- Topical steroids for cutaneous manifestations of MF/SS will be permitted below:
- Continued use of select concomitant topical steroids is permitted if the
patient has remained clinically stable for at least 4 weeks.
- Patients who are on low or moderate potency topical corticosteroids may
participate if they are on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before
enrollment. Local injections of corticosteroids are acceptable; all
corticosteroids will be reported as concomitant medications.
- Patients prescribed prednisone 10 mg PO daily or less (or equivalent) will not be
excluded
- Concomitant use of another systemic therapy for MF/SS. Patients must have the
following minimum wash-out from previous treatments:

romidepsin, and denileukin diftitox, or anticancer investigational agents that
are not defined as immunotherapy
- At least 2 weeks for local radiation therapy
- At least 1 week for topical retinoids, nitrogen mustard, or imiquimod
- Concomitant malignancy requiring active systemic therapy, excluding adjuvant endocrine
therapy with the following exceptions:
- Patients with non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix will
not be excluded
- Adjuvant or maintenance therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence of another
malignancy (excluding cutaneous T-cell lymphoma) is permissible after discussion
with the Washington University principal investigator

antibody and negative for anti-CMV IgG antibody or positive CMV PCR with clinical
manifestations consistent with active CMV infection) and requiring therapy will be
excluded from participation in the study. Carriers will be monitored per institutional
guidelines
- Patients should be excluded if they have known active hepatitis B (e.g. hepatitis B
virus [HBV] surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive) or hepatitis C (e.g. hepatitis C virus
[HCV] ribonucleic acid [RNA] [qualitative] is detected)
- Patients with chronic HBV or HCV are defined as patients with positive hepatitis
B serology: Patients with a negative HBsAg and a positive hepatitis B core
antibody (HBcAb) require an undetectable/negative hepatitis B deoxyribonucleic
acid (DNA) test (e.g. polymerase chain reaction [PCR] test) to be enrolled, and
will require prophylactic antiviral treatment initiated prior to the first dose
of study drug, and continued until approximately 6 to 12 months after completion
of study drug(s)
- Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy
(i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1), with the exception of alopecia and
neuropathy
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to duvelisib or nivolumab
- Patients receiving any medications or substances that are strong inhibitors or
inducers of CYP3A4 are ineligible to start study therapy. Patients who are on strong
inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 may start study therapy if discontinued 5 half lives
before start of study therapy. Because the lists of these agents are constantly
changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference.
As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled
on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need
to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or
herbal product
- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing
or active infection, interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis,
congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade >= 3, unstable angina
pectoris, and cardiac arrhythmia
- Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements
- Baseline QT interval corrected with Fridericia's method (QTcF) > 500 ms
- Note: Criteria does not apply to subjects with a right or left bundle branch
block
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because nivolumab and duvelisib have the
potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but
potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the
mother with nivolumab and duvelisib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the
mother is treated with nivolumab and duvelisib. These potential risks may also apply
to other agents used in this study
- Patients who have had evidence of active or acute diverticulitis, intra-abdominal
abscess, gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction and abdominal carcinomatosis which are
known risk factors for bowel perforation should be evaluated for the potential need
for additional treatment before coming on study
