An Immuno-therapy Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness, Safety and Tolerability of Nivolumab or Nivolumab in Combination With Other Agents in Patients With Advanced Liver Cancer

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01658878
Lead Sponsor
Bristol-Myers Squibb
Brief Summary

The first part of the study is the Dose Escalation Phase designed to establish the safety of nivolumab at different dose levels for each of the three cohorts (uninfected hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) subjects, hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected HCC subjects, and hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected subjects).

The second part of the study is the Expansion Phase designed to generate additional clinical data at specified doses for each of the 3 cohorts. A third cohort has been added in this study to compare the efficacy of nivolumab and sorafenib in the treatment of Advanced HCC. A fourth cohort will generate data on the safety and efficacy of the combination nivolumab plus ipilimumab in the treatment of Advanced HCC. In the fifth cohort, additional clinical data will be generated for Child-Pugh B subjects. A Cabozantinib Combination Cohort has been added to evaluate the safety and tolerability of nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib and nivolumab with ipilimumab in combination with cabozantinib.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complete response (CR) RateApproximately 6 months minimum follow-up

The proportion of subjects whose best overall response (BOR) is CR in the population of interest

Time to response (TTR)Approximately 6 months

It is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first confirmed CR or PR for the 1L Nivolumab vs Sorafenib Cohort, and from the first dosing date of any study medication to the date of the first confirmed CR or PR for all other cohorts.

Progression free survival (PFS)Approximately 9 years

PFS is defined as the time from randomization date to the date of the first objectively documented tumor progression or death due to any cause

Cmax at Cycle 3/ Cmax at Cycle 1 (AI_Cmax) of nivolumabApproximately 6 months
AUC(TAU) at Cycle 3/ AUC(TAU) at Cycle 1 (AI_AUC) of nivolumabApproximately 6 months
Duration of response (DOR)Approximately 9 years

It is defined as time between the date of first radiographic documented objective response and the date of the radiographic disease progression.

TTP RateApproximately 9 years

It is defined as the K-M estimated proportion of subjects without progression at select milestones.

PD-L1 expressionApproximately 6 months
Serum concentration achieved at the end of dosing interval (trough concentration) (Ctrough) of nivolumabApproximately 6 months
Serum concentration achieved at the end of the infusion (Ceoinf) of nivolumabApproximately 6 months
Disease control rate (DCR)Approximately 6 months minimum follow-up
