TERTIARY OBJECTIVE:

• I. Assess the cost outcomes related to patient treatment in the clinic or in the home.

OUTLINE: Patients receive nivolumab SC on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in clinic for 2 cycles, then at home by a home health nursing provider (HHNP) for 4 cycles, followed by either in-clinic or at-home administration for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients receive in-home visits by a home health nurse, undergo remote patient monitoring including vital sign measurements and condition-specific symptom assessments throughout study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at days 30 and 100, then every 3 months for up to 1 year.
