Study Summary

This trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of nivolumab monotherapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic olfactory neuroblastoma that is difficult to treat with curative intent. Specifically, nivolumab 240 mg will be administered on Day 1 and Day 15 of each cycle, or nivolumab 480 mg will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle, and this will be continued until disease progression. One cycle is 28 days. The decision on which treatment to administer will be made through consultation between the participant in this trial and their attending physician.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Active progressive multiple primary cancers (synchronous multiple cancers andmetachronous multiple cancers with a disease-free interval of 5 years or less.However, lesions equivalent to carcinoma in situ or mucosal cancer that areconsidered curable by local treatment are not included as multiple primary cancers.Additionally, this may not apply if the attending physician determines thatearly-stage cancer will not be a prognostic factor.).
