What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and AEs Leading to Discontinuation

    Number of participants with any grade adverse events (AEs), any grade serious adverse events (SAEs) and any grade AEs leading to discontinuation of any drug. The severity of AEs will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Measured: From first dose to 100 days post last dose (Up to 51 months)

  2. Number of Participants Who Died

    Number of participants who died due to any cause.

    Measured: From first dose to 135 days post last dose (Up to 52 months)

  3. Number of Participants With On-Treatment Laboratory Abnormalities in Specific Hepatics Tests

    Number of participants with laboratory abnormalities in specific hepatic tests based on SI unit convention. The number of participants with the following laboratory abnormalities from on-treatment evaluations will be summarized:

    • ALT or AST > 3 x ULN, > 5 x ULN, > 10 x ULN and > 20 x ULN
    • Total bilirubin > 2 x ULN
    • ALP > 1.5 x ULN
    • Concurrent (within 1 day) ALT or AST > 3 x ULN and total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN
    • Concurrent (within 30 days) ALT or AST > 3 x ULN and total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN
    • Concurrent (within 1 day) ALT or AST > 3 x ULN and total bilirubin > 2 x ULN
    • Concurrent (within 30 days) ALT or AST > 3 x ULN and total bilirubin > 2 x ULN

    Measured: From first dose to 30 days post last dose (Up to 49 months)

  4. Objective Response Rate (ORR) - Part D

    Investigator-assessed ORR per International Working Group (IWG 2007) response criteria for malignant lymphoma is defined as the number of participants with a best overall documented response (BOR) of either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).

    Complete response: Disappearance of all evidence of disease. Partial response: Regression of measurable disease and no new sites. >= 50% decrease in sum of the produce of the diameters of up to 6 largest dominant masses (index lesions); no increase in size of other nodes (non-index lesions).

    Progressive disease: Any new lesion or increase by >=50% of previously involved sites from nadir.

    Measured: From first dose date to the date of disease progression per investigator or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 95 months)

  5. Duration of Response (DoR) - Part D

    Investigator-assessed DoR per International Working Group (IWG 2007)) response criteria for malignant lymphoma is defined as the time between the date of first documented response (complete response or partial response) to the date of the first objectively documented progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Complete response: Disappearance of all evidence of disease. Partial response: Regression of measurable disease and no new sites. >= 50% decrease in sum of the produce of the diameters of up to 6 largest dominant masses (index lesions); no increase in size of other nodes (non-index lesions).

    Progressive disease: Any new lesion or increase by >=50% of previously involved sites from nadir.

    Measured: From first dose to the date of the first objectively documented progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 95 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BMS-986016 and BMS-936558 in people with Hematologic Neoplasms, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 10 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 24 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 24 Mar 2023). 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 With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and AEs Leading to Discontinuation (time frame: From first dose to 100 days post last dose (Up to 51 months)). The study lists 5 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 NCT02061761, which also lists 2 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 24 Mar 2023.
