Clinical Trial Summary

Sequential immune apheresis plasma volume escalation cohort study of reduction of soluble Tumor Necrosis Factors Receptors 1/2 (sTNFR1/2), with or without Nivolumab, in patients with inoperable or metastatic solid Tumors. This study evaluates Immunicom fs LW-02 device used with Spectra Optia apheresis system, aiming to answer two different study questions:

• Safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the device.

• Safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the device, employed as monotherapy, or combined with Nivolumab.
