What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Measured: From date of starting nivolumab plus ipilimumab to the date of death from any cause. (Up to 5 years)

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 by Investigator

    Measured: From date of starting nivolumab plus ipilimumab to the first date of documented progression, as determined by the investigators (as per RECIST 1.1 criteria), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. (Up to 5 years)

  3. Change in tumor response over time

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  4. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Measured: From first documentation of tumor response after the date of starting nivolumab plus ipilimumab to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. (Up to 5 years)

  5. The quality of life by National Comprehensive Cancer Network/ Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)-Kidney Symptom Index 19 (NCCN-FACT FKSI-19) v2.0

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  6. Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    Measured: During the observation period or until 100 days after discontinuation of dosing with nivolumab and ipilimumab (Up to 5 years)

  7. ORR on subsequent therapy

    Measured: From initiation of a second line of therapy after discontinuation of first line nivolumab+ipilimumab treatment (Up to 5 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Advanced or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 1 site in Japan.

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 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. 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.

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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to 5 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 NCT04043975, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 14 Feb 2025.
