Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to find out whether the combination of two approved drugs ipilimumab and nivolumab in combination with cryoablation are safe and effective for participants who have an unresectable melanoma that is resistant or is growing after receiving immunotherapy with a PD-1 inhibitor

The names of the study interventions involved in this study are

Cryoablation an interventional radiology procedure that freezes part of a tumor
Ipilimumab an immunotherapy
Nivolumab an immunotherapy
Detailed Description: This is a single-arm two-stage Phase II clinical trial to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational treatment the combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab with cryoablation for the treatment of metastatic melanoma resistant to PD-1 inhibition

Ipilimumab and nivolumab are types of inhibitors Ipilimumab targets and blocks specific proteins in cancer cells which are responsible for stopping the immune system from working correctly Nivolumab targets a receptor on cancer cells that causes programmed cell death

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved Ipilimumab and Nivolumab for the treatment of melanoma

Cryoablation is an approved procedure that consists of freezing a tumor and surgically removing it The use of the study drugs and cryoablation combination is experimental

Study procedures including screening for eligibility study treatment including in-clinic visits blood sample collections Computerized Tomography CT scans and tumor biopsies

Participation in this research study is expected to last up to 3 years

It is expected that about 37 people will take part in this research study

The William M Wood Foundation is supporting this research by providing funding for the cryoablation and research activities
