2. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other biologic drugs or monoclonal
antibodies
3. Patient with any out-of-range laboratory values defined as:
- - Serum creatinine > 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or creatinine clearance
(calculated using Cockcroft-Gault formula, or measured) < 50 mL/min
- Total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN, except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome who are
excluded if total bilirubin > 3.0 x ULN or direct bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN
- ALT > 3 x ULN
- AST > 3 x ULN
- Absolute neutrophil count < 1.0 x 10^9/L

failure (New York Heart Association grade ≥2), uncontrolled hypertension or
clinically significant arrhythmia currently requiring medical treatment
- QTcF >470 msec on screening ECG or congenital long QT syndrome
- Acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris < 6 months prior to
Screening
5.
Active infection requiring systemic antibiotic therapy. Patients requiring systemic
antibiotics for infection must have completed therapy before Screening
6. Known history of HIV infection. Testing for HIV status is not necessary unless
clinically indicated or if required by local regulations
7. Active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection per institutional
protocol. Testing for HBV or HCV status is not necessary unless clinically indicated
or the patient has a history of HBV or HCV infection or if required by local
regulations
8. Patients receiving systemic treatment with systemic steroid therapy or any other
immunosuppressive medication at any dose level that would interfere with the action of
the study drugs in the opinion of the investigator
9. Malignant disease, other than that being treated in this study. Exceptions to this
exclusion include the following: malignancies that were treated curatively and have
not recurred within 2 years prior to study treatment; completely resected basal cell
and squamous cell skin cancers; any malignancy considered to be indolent and that has
never required therapy; and completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type
10. Any medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, prevent the
patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns, compliance with
clinical study procedures or interpretation of study results
11. Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 2 weeks of the first dose of study treatment. For
cytotoxic or immunotherapy agents that can present with major delayed toxicity (eg,
anti-CTLA-4), 4 weeks is indicated as washout period
12. Presence of NCI CTCAE ≥ grade 2 toxicity (except alopecia, peripheral neuropathy and
ototoxicity, which are excluded if ≥ NCI CTCAE grade 3) due to prior cancer therapy
13. Chronic systemic corticosteroid use (ie, prednisone > 10 mg QD or the equivalent);
treatment for well-controlled and asymptomatic adrenal insufficiency is permitted, but
replacement dosing is limited to prednisone ≤ 10 mg QD or the equivalent, and patients
must have no history of adrenal crisis. Local steroid therapies (eg, otic, ophthalmic,
intra-articular or inhaled medications) are acceptable
14. Major surgery within 2 weeks of the first dose of study drug (minimally invasive
procedures such as bronchoscopy, tumor biopsy, insertion of a central venous access
device, and insertion of a feeding tube are not considered major surgery and are not
exclusionary)
15. Radiotherapy within 2 weeks of the first dose of study drug, with the exception of
palliative radiotherapy to a limited field, such as for the treatment of bone pain or
a focally painful tumor mass
16. Use of hematopoietic colony-stimulating growth factors (eg, G-CSF, GMCSF, M-CSF) ≤ 2
weeks prior to start of study drug. Patients must have completed therapy with any
hematopoietic colony-stimulating factor at least 2 weeks before the first dose of
study drug is given. An erythroid stimulating agent is allowed as long as it was
initiated at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment and the patient
is not red blood cell transfusion dependent
17. Pregnant, likely to become pregnant, or lactating women (where pregnancy is defined as
the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation)
18. Patients with adrenal insufficiency or patients currently requiring chronic, systemic
corticosteroid therapy at any dose for longer than 2 weeks. Local steroid therapies
(eg, otic, ophthalmic, intraarticular, or inhaled medications) are acceptable
19. Patients may not have been included in any prior IMCgp100 trial, regardless of
treatment cohort
