- Subjects who have received prior solid organ transplantation are not eligible.
- Pregnancy or Breast-Feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered onthis study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as there is yet noavailable information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities.
- Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2 or anti-CTLA4agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cellreceptor (e.g. OX40, CD137).
