About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Open-Label Study of Infliximab and Lower Exposure Corticosteroids vs Methylprednisolone and Higher Exposure Oral Corticosteroids for the Management of Immune-Related Severe or Persistent Diarrhea in Patients Treated With Yervoy (Ipilimumab) and/or Opdivo (Nivolumab)

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Infliximab and oral prednisone versus methylprednisolone and oral prednisone in patients with melanoma, lung cancer, or renal cell carcinoma who have immune related Grade 3-4 diarrhea for up to 3 days or persistent Grade 2 diarrhea for more than 5 days after treatment with Yervoy and/or Opdivo

Being tested
Infliximab + Prednisone, Methylprednisolone + Prednisone
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Infliximab + Prednisone and Methylprednisolone + Prednisone in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma and Melanoma, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 10 sites 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 3 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2018. 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. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Improvement in management of immune related grade 3 and 4 diarrhea as measured by proportion of responders to less than or equal to grade 1 (time frame: Up to 78 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Oct 2018.
