All corticosteroid use must have been discontinued >= 4 weeks prior to Day 1 of treatment. f) Active/symptomatic brain metastasis. Patients with signs or symptoms suggestive of brain metastasis are not eligible unless brain metastases are ruled out by computerized axial tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients with stable brain metastasis and those who were previously treated with radiotherapy or surgery must have no current evidence of active/symptomatic brain metastasis and are off steroid therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to Day 1 of treatment. g) Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease including myocardial infarction within 6 months, uncontrolled angina, Class III-IV New York Heart Association (NYHA) congestive heart failure (Appendix 5) and clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias. h) Any other sound medical, psychiatric and/or social reason, which in the opinion of the principal investigator, would prohibit the understanding of the informed consent and/or make the administration of study drug hazardous or obscure the interpretation of adverse events. i) History of hepatitis B or C, or alcohol induced liver disease.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
• Primary Safety Outcome Measures: Safety assessments will be based on medical review of adverse event (AE) reports and the results of vital sign measurements, EKG/ECG, physical examinations, and clinical laboratory tests. AEs will be recorded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.0 and the incidence will be tabulated and reviewed for potential significance and clinical importance.
• Pharmacokinetic Measures: PK parameters (Cmax, Cmin, Tmax, AUC(INF), AUC(TAU), T1/2, CLT, Vss, and λx) may be derived from serum concentration versus time for BMS-663513.
• Efficacy Measures: Tumor response will be determined for all patients using a modified form of the WHO criteria. These assessments will be made at week 12 and every 6 weeks thereafter or more frequently if indicated.
• Pharmacodynamic Measures: Exploratory research to assess dose and biologic effect relationships will be assessed by measurement of changes in peripheral T cell subsets using flow cytometry, changes in RNA expression in peripheral blood using QRT-PCR and changes in cytokines or other biomolecules using ELISA. Anti-influenza, anti-pneumoccocal and anti-tetanus antibody titers may be measured 3 to 4 weeks after immunization. Exploratory research to discover predictive markers of response will be performed using RNA profiling, SNP analysis and IHC of tumor tissue. |
