Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of avelumab when given in different combinations with utomilumab, anti-OX40 antibody PF-04518600, and radiation therapy in treating patients with malignancies that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, utomilumab, and anti-OX40 antibody PF-04518600, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. It is not yet known how well avelumab works in combination with these other anti-cancer therapies in patients with advanced malignancies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. For Arm D, to establish the safety, tolerability, and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of different treatment combinations of avelumab when administered in combination with a checkpoint agonist with radiation in patients with metastatic solid tumors in order to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and select the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

II. To correlate pre- and post-treatment CD8 expression with clinical benefit (complete response \[CR\], partial response \[PR\], or stable disease \[SD\] for \> 6 months).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the efficacy of the different treatment combinations in patients with metastatic solid tumors by assessing objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune-related RECIST (irRECIST).

II. To evaluate the efficacy of the different treatment combinations in patients with metastatic solid tumors by assessing progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To understand the mechanism of action of the avelumab plus an immune modulator combination, as well as potential mechanisms of resistance.

II. To characterize the effect of avelumab combinations on immune biomarkers in peripheral blood and tumor tissue obtained from subjects pre- and post-treatment.

III. To compare the response in irradiated versus non-irradiated lesions in Arm D.

IV. To investigate immune biomarkers that are potentially predictive of response and resistance with the combination of avelumab and an immune modulator.

* Serum creatinine =\< 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or estimated creatinine clearance \>= 30 ml/min as calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
* Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
* Negative serum pregnancy test in women of childbearing potential within 7 days of first dose of treatment and patients of child-bearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during and after 90 days post dose. A woman of childbearing potential is defined as a premenopausal female capable of becoming pregnant. This includes women on oral, injectable or mechanical contraception; women who are single and women whose male sexual partners have been vasectomized or whose male sexual partners have received or are utilizing mechanical contraceptive devices.
* Subjects must have biopsiable disease. For Arms A, B, and C, subjects must have at least two lesions amenable to biopsy and response evaluation. For Arm D subjects should have at least three lesions amenable to biopsy, response evaluation, and radiation. Tumor lesions used for biopsy should not be lesions used as RECIST target lesions. However, if patients in Arm D do not have three separate lesions, patients will be eligible if there are two lesions, in which one is \> 2 centimeters (short axis) and can be used for both biopsy and response evaluation.
* Subjects must give informed consent according to the rules and regulations of the individual participating sites.

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor or CNS tumor involvement. However, subjects with metastatic CNS tumors may participate in this study if the subject is:

* \> 4 weeks from prior therapy completion (including radiation and/or surgery)
* Clinically stable with respect to the CNS tumor at the time of study entry
* Not receiving steroid therapy in treating CNS tumor or CNS tumor involvement
* Not receiving anti-convulsive medications (that were started for brain metastases).
* Major surgery, radiation therapy or systemic anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks of study drug administration (6 weeks for mitomycin C or nitrosoureas). Palliative radiotherapy to a limited field is allowed after consultation with the medical monitor at any time during study participation, including during screening, unless it's clearly indicative of disease progression.
* Subjects with prior anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 treatment. For Arms A and D, subjects may not have had prior 4-1BB treatment. For Arm B, subjects may not have had prior OX40 treatment. For Arm C, subjects may not have had prior 4-1BB or OX40 treatment.

* Clinically significant (i.e., active) cardiovascular disease: cerebral vascular accident/stroke (\< 6 months prior to enrollment), myocardial infarction (\< 6 months prior to enrollment), unstable angina, congestive heart failure (\>= New York Heart Association classification class II), or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication.

* Current use of immunosuppressive medication, EXCEPT for the following: a. intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injection (e.g., intra-articular injection); b. systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses =\< 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent; c. steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., computed tomography \[CT\] scan premedication).
* Active autoimmune disease that might deteriorate when receiving an immuno-stimulatory agent. Patients with diabetes type I, vitiligo, psoriasis, or hypo- or hyperthyroid diseases not requiring immunosuppressive treatment are eligible.
* Prior organ transplantation including allogenic stem-cell transplantation.
* Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

* Vaccination (live attenuated virus) within 4 weeks of the first dose of avelumab and while on trials is prohibited except for administration of inactivated vaccines.
* Persisting toxicity related to prior therapy (NCI CTCAE v. 4.03 Grade \> 1); however, alopecia, sensory neuropathy grade =\< 2, or other grade =\< 2 not constituting a safety risk based on investigator's judgment are acceptable.
* Other severe acute or chronic medical conditions including colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis or psychiatric conditions including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior; or laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study treatment administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
* Medical, psychological or social conditions that may interfere with the patient's participation in the study or evaluation of the study results.
* Pregnancy or lactation.
* Men whose partner is a woman of child-bearing potential, (i.e. biologically able to conceive), and who is not employing two forms of highly effective contraception. Highly effective contraception (e.g. male condom with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide, intra-uterine device) must be used by both sexes during the study and must be continued for 90 days after the end of study treatment. Women of child-bearing potential is defined as sexually mature women who are not surgically sterile or who have not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (e.g., who has had menses any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months).
* A diagnosis of active scleroderma, lupus, or other rheumatologic disease which in the opinion of the treating radiation oncologist precludes safe radiation therapy.
* Has had prior radiation therapy within the past 3 months where the high dose area of the prior radiation would overlap with the high dose area of the intended radiation based on the judgement of the treatment oncologist.
