Phase I: Patients with any locally advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal malignancy which mFOLFOX6 is indicated for treatment
Safety expansion: Patients with one of the following locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pathologically confirmed diagnosis: Colorectal Carcinoma and Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma, Gastro-Esophageal -Carcinoma Note: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is exclusionary, Biliary -Tract Carcinoma Note: Hepatocellular carcinoma is excluded, Pancreatic Carcinoma
Patients must be willing to provide and have available formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sample from archival tissue or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion for central analysis. Note: Fine Needle Aspiration's (FNA), frozen samples, plastic embedded samples, cell blocks, clots, bone, bone marrow, or cytologic specimens are exclusionary
Patients must have measurable disease based on irRECIST (Safety expansion only)
Patients must be 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent
Have a performance status of 0 or 1 on the ECOG Performance Scale
Patients must demonstrate adequate organ function as based on screening labs performed within 14 days of treatment initiation
Patients are allowed to have received prior treatment with mFOLFOX6. If patients are currently receiving treatment with mFOLFOX6, the subject must have documented disease progression. Patients must also be able to tolerate standard mFOLFOX6. Reduced dosing of mFOLFOX6 at enrollment is exclusionary.
Patients must be able to provide informed consent and willing to sign an approved consent form that conforms to federal and institutional guidelines
Female subject of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum pregnancy within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required
Female subjects of childbearing potential should be willing to use 2 methods of birth control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication Subjects of childbearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not been free from menses for greater than 1 year
Male subjects should agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of study therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy
The patient has significant bleeding disorders or vasculitis. History of significant (in the opinion of the investigator) upper gastrointestinal ulceration, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, or upper gastrointestinal perforation within the past 3 years. Patients with a history of ulceration, bleeding or perforation in the lower bowel are not excluded.
Prior allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to sulfonamides (may be allowed per investigator discretion based on patient history), celecoxib or NSAIDs.
Cardiac risk factors including: 1) Uncontrolled high blood pressure (systolic blood pressure greater than 150); 2) Unstable angina; 3) History of documented myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident; 4 New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure.
You may not be if
Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or using an investigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment

Subjects with greater than or equal to Grade 2 neuropathy
Has had a prior monoclonal antibody within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., greater than or equal to Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier
Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., less than or equal to Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent. Note: If subject received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy
History of greater than or equal to grade 3 allergic reaction to mFOLFOX6 (patients successfully desensitized to oxaliplatin are eligible or those willing to undergo desensitization during the first two cycles of mFOLFOX6 per institutional guidelines)
Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy
Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment
Has an active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 3 months or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents. Subjects with vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy would be an exception to this rule. Subjects that require intermittent use of bronchodilators, topical steroids or local steroid injections would not be excluded from the study. Subjects with hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement or Sjorgen's syndrome will not be excluded from the study
Has history of interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis requiring steroids.
Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy
Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator
Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial
Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment
Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, or anti-Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody (including ipilimumab or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or checkpoint pathways)
