The primary objective is to test the following hypothesis: Patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer that have progressed following at least one line of therapy and have an immunogenic signature will respond to combined PD-1 and CTLA4 inhibition.
This is a two-arm non-randomised, non-comparative phase II trial designed to assess the efficacy of nivolumab + ipilimumab in patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer that have progressed following at least 1 line of therapy and have an specified immunogenic signature. The immunogenic signature is defined by the presence of at least one of the following: * Mismatch repair deficiency by IHC * Defective DNA repair detected by a targeted sequencing panel * High inflammatory infiltrate defined on multiplexed IHC criteria. Treatment consists of : Cohort 1: * Nivolumab 1 mg/kg + ipilimumab 3 mg/kg every three weeks for a maximum of 4 doses * 6 week gap after last combination dose * 480 mg flat dose of nivolumab every 4 weeks for up to one year, or until progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent. Cohort 2: * Nivolumab 3 mg/kg + ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every three weeks for a maximum of 4 doses * 3 week gap after last combination dose * 480 mg flat dose of nivolumab every 4 weeks for up to one year, or until progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent. Patients must have ongoing androgen deprivation to maintain serum testosterone \< 1.73 nmol/L.

Composite response rate
Patients will be considered as having had a treatment response if any one of the following criteria are satisfied: * Radiological response (RECIST 1.1) * PSA response ≥50% confirmed by a second PSA test at least 4 weeks later (PCWG3 2016) * Conversion of CTC count from ≥5 cells/7.5ml at baseline to \<5 cells/7.5ml confirmed by a second CTC test at least 4 weeks later (PCWG3 2016)
