  • Exception is made for patients with EGFR or ALK re-arrangements who must have stopped TKI therapy at least 7 days prior to C1D1
Show all 19Show fewer
  • Patients who have not previously been treated with platinum-based based doublet chemotherapy and who, in the judgment of the investigator, have rapidly progressive disease such that serious complications may arise from disease progression within the next 12 weeks will be excluded.
  • Non-CNS radiotherapy within 1 week prior to C1D1 of study therapy
  • Active infection requiring therapy
  • Prior systemic immunosuppressive therapy (> 10 mg/day prednisone equivalents) within 1 week prior to C1D1 of study therapy. Inhaled, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, and topical corticosteroids are permitted in absence of active autoimmune disease.
  • Adrenal replacement doses are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
  • Patients with known or suspected history of autoimmune disease. Subjects with type I diabetes melitis, hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement, resolved childhood asthma/atopy, patients with asthma requiring intermittent bronchodilator therapy, skin disorders (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia) not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger are permitted to enroll.
  • Other active malignancy requiring concurrent intervention.
  • Patients with previous malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancers, and the following in situ cancers: bladder, gastric, colon, cervical/dysplasia, melanoma, or breast) are excluded unless definitive therapy has been completed at least 1 year prior to study entry and the patient is now without evidence of disease from that malignance and no additional therapy is required or anticipated to be required during the study period.
  • Known untreated brain or leptomeningeal metastasis.
  • o Patients with brain metastases are eligible if metastases have been adequately treated and neurologically returned to baseline (except for residual signs or symptoms related to the CNS treatment) for at least two weeks prior to C1D1. In addition, must also be no requirement for immunosuppressive doses of systemic corticosteroids (> 10 mg/day prednisone equivalents) for at least 2 weeks prior to study drug administration.
  • Patients with interstitial lung disease that is symptomatic or may interfere with the detection or management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity.
  • Any positive test for HIV
  • Any positive test for HCV RNA or HBsAg.

What is being measured

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

  1. Best Overall Response Rate (Confirmed Partial + Complete Response) Will be Assessed as Part of This Study. Tumor Response Will be Assessed Using RECIST 1.1)

    confirmed partial + complete response will be assessed as part of this study. Tumor response will be assessed using RECIST 1.1. All responses must be confirmed on subsequent scan to be considered a true response. Tumor assessments will be performed after.6 weeks (+/- 1 week) and subsequently every six week (+/- 1 week) thereafter while on study until week 48. After week 48, tumor assessments will be conducted every 12 weeks (+/- week). Additional tumor assessments may be performed at the discretion of the treating physician.

    Measured: every 6 weeks (+/- 1 week) until week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nivolumab and pilimumab in people with Advanced Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 26 inclusion and 19 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 29 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 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 29 May 2024). 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?

Best Overall Response Rate (Confirmed Partial + Complete Response) Will be Assessed as Part of This Study. Tumor Response Will be Assessed Using RECIST 1.1) (time frame: every 6 weeks (+/- 1 week) until week 48). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 May 2024.
