The elevated levels will serve as the new baseline. Changes above that will be termed toxicities as per CTCAE guidelines with relation to the new baseline.\n * PT WNL+/- 15 % unless on active anticoagulation.\n * PTT WNL+/- 15 % unless on active anticoagulation (suggested to be drawn peripherally to prevent port drawn elevation due to routine heparin flush of ports).\n* Age >18 years\n* Patient must be able to swallow enteral medications with no requirement for a feeding tube.

For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. All females of childbearing potential (please refer to ECOG's definition in section 5.1) must have a blood test or urine study within two weeks prior to randomization to rule out pregnancy. Should a woman become pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. If a man impregnates a woman while participating in this study, he should inform his treating physician immediately as well.\n* Treatment with a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipation of need for such a vaccine during treatment with Avelumab or within 5 months after the last dose of Avelumab\n\n - Attenuated live vaccines include but are not limited to:\n* Tuberculosis (BCG)\n* Oral polio vaccine\n* Measles, Mumps, Rubella, alone or as part of MMR\n* Rotavirus\n* Yellow Fever\n* Typhoid\n* Rabies vaccine should be utilized as recommended by an Infectious Disease specialist\n* Nasal flu vaccine\n* History of severe allergic anaphylactic reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins\n* Known hypersensitivity to Chinese hamster ovary cell products or recombinant human antibodies\n* Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of their excipients\n* Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medication (including, but not limited to, corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, and anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha agents) within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipation of need for systemic immunosuppressive medication during the study, with the following exceptions:\n\n * Patients who received acute, low-dose systemic immunosuppressant medication or a one-time pulse dose of systemic immunosuppressant medication (e.g., 48 hours of corticosteroids for a contrast allergy) are eligible for the study.\n * Patients who received mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone), corticosteroids for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, or low-dose corticosteroids for orthostatic hypotension or adrenal insufficiency are eligible for the study.\n * Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injection (e.g., intra-articular injection).\n* Patients requiring the use of enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic medication that includes but not limited to: phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, primidone or oxcarbazepine are excluded\n* Patients with previously documented macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy are excluded\n* Baseline EKG with QTc > 470 msec (including subjects on medication). Subjects with ventricular pacemaker for whom QT interval is not measurable will be eligible on a case-by-case basis at MD discretion\n* Patients on Coumadin must be willing to switch to an alternative subcutaneous LMWH or oral agent (At PI discretion exceptions can be permitted, as determined on a case by case basis and documented)"
