A Study Comparing Nivolumab, Nivolumab in Combination With Ipilimumab and Placebo in Participants With Localized Kidney Cancer Who Underwent Surgery to Remove Part of a Kidney

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Carcinoma, Renal Cell
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03138512
Lead Sponsor
Bristol-Myers Squibb
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether nivolmab alone or the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab versus placebo, is safe and effective for delaying or preventing recurrence of cancer in participants who have experienced partial or entire removal of a kidney.

Detailed Description

The study has two primary endpoints. The first primary completion date is anticipated to be reached July 2022 (DFS in Part A). The second primary completion date is anticipated to be reached July 2024 (DFS in Part B).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease-Free Survival (DFS) by BICR - Treatment Part A and BFrom randomization to development of local disease recurrence, distance metastasis, or death, whichever came first (up to approximately 72 months)

Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is defined as the time from randomization to development of local disease recurrence (ie, recurrence of primary tumor in situ or occurrence of a secondary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) primary cancer), distance metastasis, or death, whichever came first per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS) - Treatment Part A and BFrom randomization to the date of death (up to approximately 72 months)

Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death. For participants without documentation of death, OS will be censored on the last date the participants was known to be alive. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Overall Survival (OS) Rate (5 Years) - Treatment Part A and BAt 5 years

Overall survival rate at 5 years is defined as the percentage of participants who are alive at 5 years.

Disease-Free Survival (DFS) Per BICR in Contemporaneously Randomized Combination and Monotherapy Participants - Treatment Part BFrom randomization to development of local disease recurrence, distance metastasis, or death, whichever came first (up to approximately 72 months)

Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is defined as the time from randomization to development of local disease recurrence (ie, recurrence of primary tumor in situ or occurrence of a secondary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) primary cancer), distance metastasis, or death, whichever came first per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Overall Survival (OS) in the Contemporaneously Randomized Combination and Monotherapy Participants - Treatment Part BFrom randomization to the date of death (up to approximately 72 months)

Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death. For participants without documentation of death, OS will be censored on the last date the participants was known to be alive. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates

The Number of Participants With Adverse Events up to 30 Days After Last Dose of Study Therapy - Treatment Part AFrom first dose to 30 days post last dose (up to approximately 40 weeks)
