What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced Serious Adverse Events (SAE), Adverse Events (AE) Leading to Discontinuation, or Death

    AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=having certain, probable, possible, or missing relationship to study drug. Grade (Gr) 1=Mild, Gr 2=Moderate, Gr 3=Severe, Gr 4= Potentially Life-threatening or disabling.

    Measured: From first dose to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (assessed up to July 2016, approximately 55 months)

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced Selected Adverse Events

    The number of participants who experienced an AE of interest due to any cause is presented. Endocrine, Gastrointestinal, Hepatic, Pulmonary, Renal, Skin, and

    Hypersensitivity/Infusion select AEs were identified that are potentially associated with the use of nivolumab, based on the following 4 guiding principles:

    • AEs that may differ in type, frequency, or severity from AEs caused by non-immunotherapies
    • AEs that may require immunosuppression (eg, corticosteroids) as part of their management
    • AEs whose early recognition and management may mitigate severe toxicity
    • AEs for which multiple event terms may be used to describe a single type of AE, thereby necessitating the pooling of terms for full characterization.

    Measured: From first dose to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (assessed up to July 2016, approximately 55 months)

  3. Number of Participants With Abnormalities in Selected Hepatic Clinical Laboratory Tests

    The number of subjects with selected hepatic laboratory abnormalities is reported.

    AST= aspartate aminotransferase; ALT= alanine aminotransferase; ULN= upper limit of normal.

    Measured: From first dose to 30 days following last dose of study drug (assessed up to July 2016, approximately 55 months)

  4. Number of Participants With Abnormalities in Selected Thyroid Clinical Laboratory Tests

    The number of subjects with selected thyroid laboratory abnormalities is reported. FT3 and FT4 test abnormalities were considered for a 2-week window after the abnormal TSH test date.

    TSH= thyroid-stimulating hormone; FT3= Free T3; FT4= Free T4; LLN= lower limit of normal; ULN= upper limit of normal

    Measured: From first dose to 30 days following last dose of study drug (assessed up to July 2016, approximately 55 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was defined as the percentage of all treated participants who achieved a Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria as per investigator assessment. This proportion was multiplied by 100 and expressed as a percentage. BOR was defined as the best response designation recorded between the date of randomization and the date of progression, or the date of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first. CR or PR determinations included in the BOR assessment were confirmed by a second scan at least 4 weeks after the criteria for responses were first met. For participants without progression or subsequent therapy, all available response designations contributed to the BOR determination. For participants who continued treatment beyond progression, the BOR was determined based on response designations recorded up to the time of the initial progression.

    Measured: From first dose until date of progression or subsequent anti-cancer therapy (assessed up to July 2016, approximately 55 months)

  2. Progression-Free Survival Rate (PFSR) at Week 24

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time from the date of first dose of study medication to the date of first disease progression or death, if death occurred within 100 days of the final dose of study drug. Among participants without previous RECIST-defined progression, participants who died beyond 100 days and those who remained alive were censored at the last tumor assessment date (before subsequent therapy).

    PFSR at week 24 was defined as the proportion of subjects remaining progression free and surviving at 24 weeks. The proportion was calculated by the product-limit method (Kaplan-Meier estimate), which takes into account censored data, and expressed as a percentage.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nivolumab, Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 12 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Who Experienced Serious Adverse Events (SAE), Adverse Events (AE) Leading to Discontinuation, or Death (time frame: From first dose to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (assessed up to July 2016, approximately 55 months)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01454102, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Oct 2021.
