What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) - Part 1

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Adverse events are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, with Grade 1 being mild and asymptomatic; Grade 2 is moderate requiring minimal, local or noninvasive intervention; Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events are usually severe enough to require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal.

    This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

  2. Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) - Part 1

    A serious adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is an important medical event.

    This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

  3. Number of Participants Experiencing Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) - Part 1

    Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are effects of a treatment that are serious enough to prevent an increase in dose of that treatment, as advised by the Dose Review Team. DLTs will be defined based on the incidence, intensity, and duration of AEs that are possibly related to study treatment. DLTs will include gastrointestinal, hepatic, hematologic, dermatologic, and other AEs.

    This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

  4. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation - Part 1

    Number of participants with any grade adverse events (AEs) leading to discontinuation of study treatment. An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03.

    This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

  5. Number of Participants Who Died - Part 1

    The number of participants who died due to any cause are summarized. This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

  6. Most Frequently Reported Grade 3 and Grade 4 Laboratory Test Results - Part 1

    Laboratory results were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Laboratory tests are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, with Grade 1 being mild and asymptomatic; Grade 2 is moderate requiring minimal, local or noninvasive intervention; Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events are usually severe enough to require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal.

    This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

    Measured: From first dose up to 30 days after last dose (up to 63 months)

  7. Objective Response Rate (ORR) - Part 2

    Objective Response Rate per blinded independent central review (BICR) is the percentage of participants who have a confirmed complete or partial best overall response (BOR) among participants who have measurable disease at baseline. Complete Response (CR) is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to =< 10 mm. Partial Response (PR) is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Baseline was defined as evaluations or events that occur before the date and time of the first dose of study treatment or evaluations on the same date and time of the first dose of study treatment were also considered as baseline evaluations. This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 2.

    Measured: From the date of the first dose to the date of first objectively documented progression per RECIST v1.1 or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 22 months)

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Adverse events are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, with Grade 1 being mild and asymptomatic; Grade 2 is moderate requiring minimal, local or noninvasive intervention; Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events are usually severe enough to require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal.

    This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 2.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 25 months)

  19. Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) - Part 2

    A serious adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is an important medical event.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 25 months)

  20. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation - Part 2

    Number of participants with any grade adverse events (AEs) leading to discontinuation of study treatment. An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 25 months)

  21. Number of Participants Who Died - Part 2

    The number of participants who died due to any cause are summarized.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 25 months)

  22. Most Frequently Reported Grade 3 and Grade 4 Laboratory Test Results - Part 2

    Laboratory results were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Laboratory tests are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, with Grade 1 being mild and asymptomatic; Grade 2 is moderate requiring minimal, local or noninvasive intervention; Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events are usually severe enough to require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal.

    This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 2.

    Measured: From first dose up to 30 days after last dose (up to 23 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BMS-986253, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in people with Cancer and Melanoma, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 72 sites in 12 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 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 24 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 72 sites in United States, Australia, Canada, Spain, France and 7 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 19 Jun 2025). 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 Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) - Part 1 (time frame: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)). The study lists 7 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 NCT03400332, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Feb 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
