What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Treatment Related Adverse Events
Adverse events will presented using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI CTCAE v5).
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)
Number of Participants With Treatment Related Serious Adverse Events
Adverse events will presented using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI CTCAE v5).
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities
DLTs will be defined as:
Any treatment-related AEs for which a participant permanently discontinues a study treatment (other than daily prednisone) and that occurs during the first 2 cycles of treatment.
Any death not clearly due to the underlying disease or extraneous causes and that occurs during the first 2 cycles of treatment Greater than or equal to Grade 2 pneumonitis lasting greater than 5 days despite appropriate medical therapy and that occurs during the first 2 cycles of treatment Any neutropenic fever as well as Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia for > 7 days that occurs during the first 2 cycles of treatment Any treatment-related AE that delays initiation of Cycle 2 or Cycle 3 of treatment by greater than 2 consecutive weeks.
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)
Number of Participants With AEs Leading to Discontinuation
Adverse events will presented using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI CTCAE v5).
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)
Number of Participants Who Died
Number of participant deaths
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)
Secondary outcomes (5)
Prostate Specific Antigen Response Rate (PSA-RR)
PSA-RR is the proportion of randomized participants with a 50% or greater decrease in PSA from baseline to any post-baseline PSA result. A second consecutive value obtained 3 or more weeks later is required to confirm the PSA response.
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)
Objective Response Rate
Objective response rate per PCWG3 (ORR-PCWG3) is the proportion of participants who have a confirmed complete or partial best overall response (BOR) per PCWG3 among randomized participants who have measurable disease at baseline. The BOR is defined as the best response designation, as determined by the BICR, recorded between the date of randomization and the date of objectively documented radiographic progression, or last tumor measurement, whichever occurs first.
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)
Time to Response
Time to response per PCWG3 (TTR-PCWG3) is the time from randomization date to the date of the first documented CR or PR per PCWG3, as determined by BICR.
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)
Duration of Response
Duration of response per PCWG3 (DOR-PCWG3) is the time between the date of first response (CR/PR per PCWG3) to the date of first documented radiographic progression per PCWG3 (as determined by BICR), or death due to any cause.
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)
Overall Survival
OS for all randomized participants is the time between randomization date and the date of death from any cause.
Measured: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing BMS-986218, Docetaxel and Nivolumab in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, Castration-Resistant, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 31 sites in 3 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 10 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 31 sites in United States, Italy, France. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 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 With Treatment Related Adverse Events (time frame: From first dose to 100 days follow up to last dose (Approximately 22 months)). The study lists 5 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 10 Jun 2025.
