Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Arm A - Tadalafil, Pembrolizumab, Ipilimumab, CRS-207

DRUG: Tadalafil

  • Patients will receive treatment every 3 weeks for 6 cycles of treatment within a course (total of 18 weeks). Tadalafil (20 mg) will be administered orally every day on days 3-21 for cycles 1-6.

DRUG: Pembrolizumab

  • Patients will receive treatment every 3 weeks for 6 cycles of treatment within a course (total of 18 weeks). Pembrolizumab (200 mg) will be administered IV on Day 1 of cycles 1-6.

DRUG: Ipilimumab

  • Patients will receive treatment every 3 weeks for 6 cycles of treatment within a course (total of 18 weeks). Ipilimumab (50mg) will be administered IV on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 3, and 5.

DRUG: CRS-207

  • Patients will receive treatment every 3 weeks for 6 cycles of treatment within a course (total of 18 weeks). CRS-207 [1 × 10^9 colony forming units (CFU) in 100ml NS] will be administered IV on Day 2 of Cycles 1-6.
Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR) Using Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the number of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions. Participants who discontinue due to toxicity or clinical progression prior to post-baseline tumor assessments will be considered as non-responders. Participants who discontinue for other reasons prior to their first dose of study drug will not included in the analysis.9 months
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Number of Participants Experiencing Drug-Related Adverse Events (AEs) Requiring Treatment Discontinuation9 months
