Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective the study drugs, nivolumab (also known as Opdivo®) and talazoparib (also known as Talzenna®) are when given as a combination treatment for unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The study team wants to know the effectiveness of these drugs together in treating cancer than if each study drug was given by itself.
Detailed Description: This is a phase II, single arm, multi-institutional, open label trial in a sample size of 37 primary or recurrent, unresectable or metastatic melanoma patients progressed on prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy with germline or somatic mutations in BRCA1/2 or BRCA-ness. The primary objective of this study is to estimate the clinical efficacy of nivolumab plus talazoparib in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRCA1/2 or other DNA damage repair mutations (defined as BRCA-ness) Secondary objectives and their endpoints include progression free survival (PFS) defined as time from first dose of treatment until disease progression, treatment related adverse events, anti-tumor activity , and immune-related progression free survival (irPFS).
