You likely can't join if

1. HIV positive patient , CD4 count < 400 cells/mm3 (HIV test mandatory before inclusion)
10. Untreated or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) lesion. However, patients are eligible if: a) all known CNS lesions have been treated with radiotherapy or surgery and b) patient remained without evidence of CNS disease progression ≥ 4 weeks after treatment and c) patients must be off corticosteroid therapy for ≥ 2 weeks
11. Use of hematopoietic colony-stimulating growth factors (e.g. G-CSF, GMCSF, M-CSF), thrombopoietin mimetics or erythroid stimulating agents ≤ 2 weeks prior start of study treatment. If erythroid stimulating agents were initiated more than 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment and the patient is on a stable dose, they can be maintained.
12. Use of any live vaccines against infectious diseases within 4 weeks of initiation of study treatment
13. Elevated Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) or cardiac troponin I (cTnI) elevation > 2x ULN
14. Systemic chronic steroid therapy (> 10mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or any immunosuppressive therapy 7 days prior to planned date of first dose of study treatment. Note: Topical, inhaled, nasal and ophthalmic steroids are allowed. For patients with adrenal insufficiency, replacement dose of prednisone > 10 mg/ day or equivalent are permitted

What rules you out

1. HIV positive patient , CD4 count < 400 cells/mm3 (HIV test mandatory before inclusion)
10. Untreated or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) lesion. However, patients are eligible if: a) all known CNS lesions have been treated with radiotherapy or surgery and b) patient remained without evidence of CNS disease progression ≥ 4 weeks after treatment and c) patients must be off corticosteroid therapy for ≥ 2 weeks

16. Allogenic bone marrow or solid organ transplant
17. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies, which in the opinion of the investigator may pose an increased risk of serious infusion reaction
18. Pre-existing neuropathy, hearing problem, or cardiorespiratory pathology, which prevent the administration of cisplatin.
19. clinically significant active heart disease or myocardial infarction within 6 months

27. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test within 72 hours prior to initiating study treatment. Note: Low levels of hCG may also be considered a tumor marker, therefore if low hCG levels are detected, another blood sample at least 4 days later must be taken to assess the kinetics of the increase and transvaginal ultrasound must be performed to rule out pregnancy.

Systemic treatment with radionuclides within 6 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior radiation therapy are not eligible,
