has been radiographically and/or pathologically documented tumor progression in that
lesion prior to enrollment

- Platelet count > 100 x 10^9/L
- Hemoglobin level > 8.0 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count > 1.0 x 10^9/L
- AST at screening < 3 x ULN for subjects without known liver involvement by tumor;
or < 5 x ULN for subjects with known liver involvement by tumor
- ALT at screening < 3 x ULN for subjects without known liver involvement by tumor;
or < 5 x ULN for subjects with known liver involvement by tumor

hemolysis or Gilbert's syndrome has been made)
- Estimated creatinine clearance (CL) > 30 mL/min calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault
or modification of diet in renal disease formulas
- Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method
of birth control during and for 8 weeks after completion of study. Women are
considered to be of childbearing potential unless it is documented that they are over
the age of 60 OR postmenopausal by history with no menses for 1 year and confirmed by
FSH OR have a history of hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy OR have a history
of bilateral tubal ligation. Highly effective methods of birth control include
hormonal birth control (oral, intravaginal, transdermal, implantable, or intrauterine
device [IUD]), IUDs (non-hormonal), vasectomy (in male partner), or any double-barrier
methods (combination of male condom and spermicide with either cap, diaphragm, or
sponge).

months prior to screening including but not limited to the following:
- Unstable angina or myocardial infarction
- CVA/stroke
- Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class III or IV
- Uncontrolled clinically significant arrhythmias
- Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous
meningitis.
- Patients with previously treated brain metastases or carcinomatous meningitis may
participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for
at least four weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic
symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain
metastases on imaging performed during study screening, and are not using steroids for
at least 14 days prior to trial treatment
- Current use of immunosuppressive medication, EXCEPT for the following:
- intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injection (e.g.,
intra-articular injection)
- Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses = 10 mg/day of prednisone or
equivalent
- Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan
premedication)
- Evidence of clinically significant immunosuppression such as the following:
- Primary immunodeficiency state such as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease
- Concurrent opportunistic infection
- Receiving systemic immunosuppressive therapy (> 2 weeks) including oral steroid
doses > 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent within 2 months prior to enrollment
- History or evidence of symptomatic autoimmune disease (e.g., pneumonitis,
glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, or other), or history of active autoimmune disease
that has required systemic treatment (i.e., use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressive
drugs or biological agents used for treatment of autoimmune diseases) in past 2 years
prior to enrollment. Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine for hypothyroidism, insulin
for diabetes or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or
pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment for autoimmune
disease
- A life threatening (Grade 4) immune related adverse event related to prior
immunotherapy.
- Failure to recover from any immune related adverse event from prior anti-cancer
therapy to grade = 1, with the exception of alopecia or endocrinopathies that are
managed and stable on hormone replacement therapy.
- Failure to recover from any other toxicity (other than immune-related toxicity)
related to previous anticancer treatment to Grade = 2 except for alopecia and
peripheral neuropathy related to prior chemotherapy
- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (HIV 1/2 antibodies) disease that
is not controlled HIV positive patients will be considered eligible if:
- Established ART for at least four weeks and have an HIV viral load less than 400
copies/mL prior to enrollment
- CD4+ T-cell (CD4+) counts = 350 cells/uL
- No opportunistic infection within the past 12 months
- Patients known to be positive for active Hepatitis B (HBsAg reactive with detectable
HBV DNA), or Hepatitis C (HCV RNA (qualitative) is detected)
- Patients with chronic hepatitis B (positive HBsAg and/or HBcAb and negative HBV
DNA by PCR) are eligible for this study if they are on suppressive anti-viral
therapy and deemed safe by a gastroenterologist
- Patient who is HCV Ab positive but HCV RNA negative due to prior treatment or
natural resolution will be considered eligible.
- Has a known history of active TB (Bacillus Tuberculosis)
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Patients expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the
trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 120 days after the

- Known prior severe hypersensitivity to investigational product or any component in its
formulations, including known severe hypersensitivity reactions to monoclonal
antibodies (NCI CTCAE v5 Grade = 3)
- Prior treatment with an investigational anti-ICOS therapy
- Treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 antibody within 8 weeks of the start of study therapy.
- Treatment with any other anticancer therapy within 3 weeks of the start of study drug
