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. 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. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 6 arms. ARM A: Patients receive utomilumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle and avelumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 beginning day 15 of cycle 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM B: Patients receive anti-OX40 agonist monoclonal antibody PF-04518600 IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 of each cycle and avelumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 beginning day 15 of cycle 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM C: Patients receive anti-OX40 agonist monoclonal antibody PF-04518600 IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 of each cycle, utomilumab over 60 minutes on day 1, and avelumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 beginning day 15 of cycle 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM D: Patients undergo radiation therapy on days -5 to -1. Patients receive avelumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 of beginning day 15 of cycle 1 and utomilumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM E: DISCONTINUED AS OF AMENDMENT 9 (02/11/2020) Patients undergo radiation therapy on days -14 to -1. Patients receive avelumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 beginning day 15 of cycle 1 and anti-OX40 agonist monoclonal antibody PF-04518600 IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15, and. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM F: DISCONTINUED AS OF AMENDMENT 9 (02/11/2020) Patients undergo radiation therapy on days -14 to -1. Patients receive avelumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 beginning day 15 of cycle 1, utomilumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1, and anti-OX40 agonist monoclonal antibody PF-04518600 IV on days 1 and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients will be followed up at 30 days and then every 12 weeks.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
173 patients to be enrolledTotal number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.
Treatment Study
These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

How participants are assigned to different groups/arms
In this clinical study, participants are assigned to groups based on specific criteria, such as their medical history or a doctor's recommendation. This approach ensures that treatments are given to those who may benefit the most, based on known factors.

Other Ways to Assign Participants
Randomized allocation
: Participants are assigned randomly, like flipping a coin, to ensure fairness and reduce bias.

None (Single-arm trial)
: If the study has only one group, all participants receive the same treatment, and no allocation is needed.

How treatments are given to participants
Participants are divided into different groups, each receiving a specific treatment at the same time. This helps researchers compare how well different treatments work against each other.

Other Ways to Assign Treatments
Single-group assignment
: Everyone gets the same treatment.

Cross-over assignment
: Participants switch between treatments during the study.

Factorial assignment
: Participants receive different combinations of treatments.

Sequential assignment
: Participants receive treatments one after another in a specific order, possibly based on individual responses.

Other assignment
: Treatment assignment does not follow a standard or predefined design.

How the effectiveness of the treatment is controlled
In a non placebo-controlled study, no participants receive an inert substance (placebo) to compare outcomes. Instead, all participants receive either the experimental treatment or an alternative treatment (often the Standard of Care). This method allows researchers to compare the effects of the experimental treatment with those of a different active intervention, rather than a placebo.

Other Options
Placebo-Controlled
: A placebo is used to compare the effects of the experimental treatment with those of an inert substance, isolating the true treatment effect.

How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential
Everyone involved in the study knows which treatment is being given. This is typically used when it's not possible or necessary to hide the treatment details from participants or researchers.

Other Ways to Mask Information
Single-blind
: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do.

Double-blind
: Neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given.

Triple-blind
: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given.

Quadruple-blind
: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.
