Inclusion
Inclusion Criteria
Age 18 years or older.
Patients with immunohistochemistry for PD-L1 with a combined positive score (CPS) of 10 or higher.

Documented disease progression radiologically after the last routine treatment.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
Measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1. Lesions previously treated with radiotherapy can only be used as target lesions if they are confirmed to be progressing by imaging before enrollment.
Male participants must meet at least one of the following conditions:
Considered infertile;
No fertile partner;
Has a fertile partner who agrees to follow contraceptive guidance throughout the study period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of Nivolumab;
and
Agrees to abstain from sperm donation throughout the study period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of Nivolumab.
Female participants must meet at least one of the following conditions:
Considered infertile;
Agrees to follow contraceptive guidance throughout the study period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of Nivolumab;
Estimated life expectancy greater than 12 weeks, as determined by the investigator or delegated sub-investigator.
Preserved organ functions defined by:
Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000;
Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (patients may receive transfusions to reach this level);

Exclusion Criteria
Previous treatment lines with immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors).
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
Limiting comorbidity, in the opinion of the investigator.
Active infection.
Major surgery within the last 4 weeks.
Functional class II or greater heart failure.
Myocardial infarction or stroke within the last 6 months.
History of pulmonary fibrosis or pneumonitis.
Autoimmune diseases, except for patients with vitiligo and/or controlled thyroid/hypothyroidism without the use of immunosuppressors.
Second invasive primary tumor diagnosed in the last 3 years and/or with active disease, except for localized skin tumors (non-melanoma) that have been treated with curative intent.
Patients with prolonged QT interval.
Uncontrolled Central Nervous System (CNS) metastases. Patients who have previously received local treatment, such as radiotherapy, will be eligible if clinical and radiological stability is demonstrated in the 2 weeks prior to the start of treatment. Patients must not be using corticosteroids for managing CNS disease.
Presence of meningeal carcinomatosis.
Worsening renal and liver function in the 14 days prior to enrollment.
History of solid organ transplantation with or without immunosuppression.

HIV-positive patients must have documented undetectable viral load prior to inclusion.
Chronic use of corticosteroids at doses greater than 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent. Patients with adrenal insufficiency of non-autoimmune etiology (e.g., previous bilateral adrenalectomy) may be included if they are clinically compensated with 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent or less.
