Subjects treated with fully human anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies as immunotherapy regimens (eg, ipilimumab and tremelimumab) must not have received treatment with such antibodies for at least 8 weeks, and those treated with chimeric or other fully human monoclonal antibodies must not have received treatment with such antibodies for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization. Subjects treated with noncytotoxic small molecule drugs (eg, tyrosine kinase inhibitors) must not have received treatment with these drugs at the time of enrollment and at least 2 weeks prior to randomization. i) Suitable venous access for the conduct of blood sampling for candidate biomarker study j) Adequate organ function, as evidence by the following laboratory values: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/μL Platelet count ≥ 100 x 103/μL Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min based on Cockcroft-Gault or other available formula. AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN 3) Age and Sex a) Men and women, who are at least 18 years of age. b) Male subjects must be willing to use an appropriate method of barrier contraception (eg, condoms) and inform any sexual partners that they must also use a reliable method of contraception (eg, birth control pills) during the study and for 60 days after the last dose of study treatment. c) Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be using an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for up to 60 days after the last dose of investigational product in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- WOCBP who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method to avoid pregnancy for the entire study and for up to 60 days after the last dose of investigational product - Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding - Women with a positive pregnancy test on enrollment or prior to investigational product administration - Sexually active fertile men not using effective birth control if their partners are WOCBP (eg, males unwilling to use a barrier method of contraception) -Ocular melanoma - Complete surgical resection of all identifiable sites of disease c) Clinical and/or radiographic evidence of cerebral or subdural metastases and/or progression of central nervous system (CNS) metastases within the past 4 weeks. Subjects who have a history of CNS metastasis but have no radiographic (eg, brain MRI or contrast CT) or clinical evidence of residual tumor (eg, following complete surgical resection) are excluded from participation in this study based on the following: Required the use of corticosteroid therapy or DCVax®-Brain for this indication Discontinue treatment for < 4 weeks before randomization in this study - Any other malignancy for which the subject has been disease-free for less than 5 years, with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast or prostate - Histories of autoimmune diseases including Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, vasculitis, infiltrating lung disease are excluded from this study. Note that not all autoimmune diseases are to be excluded, and subjects with a history of well-controlled and/or clinically manageable autoimmune disease (eg, vitiligo, well-controlled thyroid disease, or mild psoriasis) may be considered for inclusion in consultation with the Medical Monitor - Known or suspected human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known or suspected active or chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection. If false positive results are obtained, the subject can enter the study after discussion and agreement between the Investigator and the Medical Monitor. - Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of the investigational drug. - Clinically significant abnormalities or serious cardiac arrhythmias on 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Significant cardiovascular impairment (eg, history of congestive heart failure), New York Heart Association (NYHA) (Appendix 3) Class III and IV or history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within the past six months or significant vascular disease (eg, aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection) -History of abdominal fistula or gastrointestinal perforation within 6 months prior to randomization f) Prior treatment with radiation therapy within 4 weeks involving more than 25% of the hematopoietically active bone marrow - Evidence of organ dysfunction or any clinically significant deviation from normal in physical examination, vital signs, ECG or clinical laboratory determinations. - Bodyweight of less then 85 lbs (38.5 Kg) - History of allergy to BMS-663513 or related compounds - Received more than one line of prior systemic therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy; non-cytoxic small molecular drugs, biologics or radiation therapy for metastatic disease (note: adjuvant and/or neoadjuvant therapy is allowed and will not be counted as one line of prior therapy) - Initiation of growth factor treatment such as granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), or granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), erythropoietin, etc. within 28 days prior to randomization. - Prior treatment with high-dose chemotherapy, defined as chemotherapy requiring the use of peripheral blood or bone marrow stem cell support for hematopoietic reconstitution or with organ allografts requiring immunosuppression |
