About this study

Official title: Pilot Study Testing the Effects of BTK Inhibitor Ibrutinib on Levels and Function of Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells and Other Immune Subsets in Patients With Metastatic Solid Tumors

This phase I trial studies how well ibrutinib and nivolumab work in treating participants with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ibrutinib and nivolumab may work better in treating participants with solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the effect of the ibrutinib therapy on circulating levels of myeloid derived suppressor cells MDSC.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Assess safety of the study combination in study subjects.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the effect of the ibrutinib/nivolumab therapy on circulating levels of MDSC.

II. Evaluate the effect of the ibrutinib and ibrutinib/nivolumab therapy on the immunosuppressive function of circulating MDSC by measuring their ability to inhibit T cell proliferation and natural killer cell mediated antibody dependent cell cytotoxicity.

III. Study the effect of ibrutinib and ibrutinib/nivolumab therapy on levels of circulating innate and adaptive immune cells such as natural killer cell and T lymphocyte subsets.

IV. Study circulating MDSC levels at the time of disease progression. V. Evaluate in a preliminary fashion the effect of the regimen on progression-free survival.

OUTLINE:

Participants receive ibrutinib orally (PO) daily for 15 days. After 7 days receiving ibrutinib, participants receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15. Courses with nivolumab repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unaccepted toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 3 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Circulating levels of myeloid derived suppressor cells

    Will be summarized using descriptive statistics (N, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum) and/or frequency and percentages for medically relevant categories. Changes of the continuous variables will be estimated using mixed model for repeated measures with proper data transformation as needed, and two-way tables and Chi-Square test will be used to summarize the changes of the categorical data.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of adverse events

    Will be assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Will be presented using frequencies and percentages.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Progression free survival

    One year progression free survival will be defined as proportion of patients who are free of disease progression or death (whichever occurs first) after 1 year of follow up. Progression free survival will be summarized using Kaplan and Meier methods, where patients who are event-free at the time of their last evaluation will be censored at that time point.

    Measured: Interval from study enrollment to first documented disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), assessed at 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ibrutinib, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Nivolumab in people with Metastatic Malignant Solid Neoplasm, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive 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 15 inclusion and 20 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 18 Mar 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 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.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Circulating levels of myeloid derived suppressor cells (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 NCT03525925, 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 18 Mar 2024.
