The purpose of this study is to find out which participants with melanoma respond best to nivolumab and ipilimumab treatment and to identify tumor and blood based markers that may predict response to the combination. This study is asking that participants submit tumor tissue samples from their initial tumor specimen and blood samples before they receive treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab. This study is to determine which patients are most appropriate for this treatment and potential factors that might suggest patients should be considered for a different treatment.
