What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)

    An Adverse Event (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 up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months

  2. The Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe), requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months

  3. The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Meeting Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Criteria

    An Adverse Event (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. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined based on the incidence, intensity, and duration of AEs for which no clear alternative cause is identified. The DLT period will be 28 days (4 weeks) in the Preliminary Safety Cohorts. Any toxicities that occur beyond the 4-week DLT period will also be considered in dose-level decisions. For the purpose of participant management, any AE that meets DLT criteria, regardless of the cycle in which it occurs, will lead to discontinuation of study treatment. AEs will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months

  4. The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation

    An Adverse Event (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 up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months

  5. The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events Resulting in Death

    An Adverse Event (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 up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months

  6. The Number of Participants Experiencing Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities

    The number of participants experiencing abnormal laboratory results of Grade 3 or higher. Laboratory values will be graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03 with Grade 3=severe and Grade 4=life threatening.

    Measured: From first dose up to 30 days post last dose (approximately 28 months)

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of all treated participants whose best overall response (BOR) is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must also have reduction in the short axis to < 10 mm. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. BOR for a participant is defined as the best response designation recorded between the date of first dose (or date of randomization) and the date of first objectively documented progression per RECIST 1.1 or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From first dose up to documented disease progression, up to 48 months

  2. Median Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR for a participant with confirmed response is defined as the time from the date of first response CR or PR to the date of first objectively documented tumor progression as determined using RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Participant who remain alive and have not progressed will be censored on the date of their last tumor assessment. Participants who started subsequent anticancer therapy without a prior reported progression will be censored at the last tumor assessment prior to initiation of the subsequent anticancer therapy. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must also have reduction in the short axis to < 10 mm. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: From first dose up to the date of the first objectively documented tumor progression or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 24 months)

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate at 24 Weeks

    The PFSR is defined as the Kaplan Meier estimate of percentage of treated participants remaining progression free and surviving at the prespecified timepoint of 24 weeks since the first dosing date. Progressive Disease (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: The appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression.)

    Measured: At 24 weeks

  4. Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADA) for BMS-986226

    ADA for BMS-986226 is defined as the number of participants found to have seroconverted or boosted their pre-existing ADA during the study period. Baseline ADA positive is defined as ADA is detected in the last sample before initiation of treatment. ADA positive is defined as 1) an ADA detected (positive seroconversion) sample in a participant for whom ADA is not detected at baseline, or (2) an ADA detected sample with ADA titer to be at least 4-fold or greater (≥) than baseline positive titer.

    Measured: Predose on cycles 1-6, post dose on C1D15, and 30, 60, and 100 days post last dose (up to approximately 31 months)

  5. Changes From Baseline in Cell Surface ICOS Expression on T Cells

    Summary measures of changes in Median of Fluorescence of ICOS (MFI) from baseline to the last evaluable time point in cell surface Inducible Costimulator (ICOS) expression on T cells. Baseline = last non missing value prior or on to the first dosing. MFI is a unit for median fluorescence intensity. This unit allows for measurement of relative expression of cell surface markers by a flow cytometer. For the ICOS expression assay, whole blood samples collected from patients on study were incubated with fluorescently labeled antibodies that specifically bind to ICOS. Samples were then analyzed for changes in MFI by flow cytometry. An increase in MFI between patient samples corresponds to an increase in cell surface ICOS expression on target cell subsets.

    Measured: From baseline up to pre-dose and 4 hours post dose on C1D1 and pre-dose and 4 hours post dose on C2D1 (approximately 31 months)

  6. Changes From Baseline in ICOS Ligand+ B Cells

    Summary measures of changes in Median of Fluorescence of ICOS (MFI) from baseline to the last evaluable time point in ICOS ligand+ B cells in the tumor and peripheral blood. Baseline = last non missing value prior or on to the first dosing. MFI is a unit for median fluorescence intensity. This unit allows for measurement of relative expression of cell surface markers by a flow cytometer. For the ICOS expression assay, whole blood samples collected from patients on study were incubated with fluorescently labeled antibodies that specifically bind to ICOS. Samples were then analyzed for changes in MFI by flow cytometry. An increase in MFI between patient samples corresponds to an increase in cell surface ICOS expression on target cell subsets.

    Measured: From baseline up to pre-dose and 4 hours post dose on C1D1, 72 hours post dose on C1D4, and pre-dose on C2D1 (approximately 31 months)

  7. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax is the maximum serum concentration that a drug achieves after the drug has been administered and before the administration of a second dose.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 4, 24, 72, 168, 336, 504 hours post dose on C1D1, C2D1, and C3D1 (approximately 31 months)

  8. Effective Elimination Half-Life (T-HALFeff)

    Effective elimination half-life that explains the degree of accumulation observed

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 4, 24, 72, 168, 336, 504 hours post dose on C2D1 and C3D1 (approximately 31 months)

  9. Trough Observed Serum Concentrations (Ctrough)

    Trough observed serum concentrations (Ctrough) is defined as the concentration reached by a drug immediately before the next dose is administered

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 4, 24, 72, 168, 336, 504 hours post dose on C2D1 and C3D1. Pre-dose and 0.5 post dose on C4D1. Pre-dose on C5D1 and C6D1. Pre-dose and 0.5 hours post dose on C7D1. (approximately 31 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BMS-986226, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in people with Cancer and Tumors, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 13 sites in 4 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 5 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States, Canada, Switzerland, Spain. 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 28 Feb 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?

The Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: From first dose up to 100 days post last dose, up to approximately 31 months). The study lists 6 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 28 Feb 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
