What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) - Part 1 A and 1 B

    Adverse Events (AEs):

    Adverse events are any unwanted or harmful medical occurrences in a participant who receives a study drug or intervention. These events may or may not be related to the treatment.

    Serious Adverse Events (SAEs):

    Serious adverse events are adverse events that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalization or prolong existing hospitalization, cause significant disability or incapacity, or result in a birth defect.

    Measured: From first dose until 100 days after last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 38 weeks)

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Meeting Protocol-Defined Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Criteria - Part 1 A and 1 B

    Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were defined by the incidence, intensity, and duration of adverse events (AEs) possibly related to study treatment during the 5-week (35-day) DLT evaluation period for both BMS-986249 monotherapy and combination therapy. Participants who received at least 2 doses and completed or discontinued due to a DLT within this period were considered DLT-evaluable. Those who withdrew or received less than 2 doses for reasons other than a DLT were not DLT-evaluable and could be replaced. Any drug-related AE meeting DLT criteria resulted in discontinuation of study treatment. DLTs guided dose escalation and helped define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).

    Measured: From first dose until 5 weeks after first dose of study medicine (up to approximately 5 weeks)

  3. Number of Participants Who Died - Part 1 A and 1 B

    Number of Participants who Died

    Measured: From enrollment until the date of death from any cause (up to approximately 83 months)

  4. Number of Participants With Shifts From Baseline in Laboratory Tests Results - Part 1 A and 1 B

    Number of Participants with Shifts from Baseline in Laboratory Tests

    Measured: From first dose until 100 days after last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 38 weeks)

  5. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Grade 3-5 Adverse Events (AEs) Within 24 Weeks - Part 2 A Arms C, D and F, and Part 2 B

    Adverse Events (AEs):

    Adverse events are any unwanted or harmful medical occurrences in a participant who receives a study drug or intervention. These events may or may not be related to the treatment.

    Grade 1: Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; no intervention needed.

    Grade 2: Moderate; minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate activities.

    Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling.

    Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention required. Grade 5: Death related to the adverse event.

    Measured: From first dose until 24 weeks after first dose (up to approximately 24 weeks)

  6. Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Investigator - Part 2 A Arm C and F

    Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the percent of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1:

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must also have reduction in the short axis to <10mm.

    Partial Response (PR): At least a30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: From randomization until progression or death from any cause (up to approximately 83 months)

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Time to Deterioration in Part 2A (Arm C, D and F)

    TTD in Global Health Status/QoL and Physical Functioning will be defined as the time from randomization until a clinically meaningful decline (i.e., reduction ≥10 points) from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 global health/quality of life subscale score and Physical Functioning Scale score.

    Measured: Approximately up to 6 months

  2. Safety Related Events in Part 2A (Arm C, D and F) and 2B

    Adverse Events (AEs):

    Adverse events are any unwanted or harmful medical occurrences in a participant who receives a study drug or intervention. These events may or may not be related to the treatment.

    Serious Adverse Events (SAEs):

    Serious adverse events are adverse events that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalization or prolong existing hospitalization, cause significant disability or incapacity, or result in a birth defect.

    Measured: From first dose until 100 days after last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 38 weeks)

  3. BOR of PSA and PCWG3 Response Rate in Part 2B Cohort 2

    Best Overall Response (BOR) is defined as the best response recorded from the start of randomization or first dosing date until the date of objectively documented PD based on RECIST v1.1 criteria or PCWG3 (for prostate cancer), or the date of ubsequent therapy (including tumordirected radiotherapy and tumor-directed surgery which are not for palliative purpose), whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From first dose (Parts 1 A and B) or randomization (Part 2 B) progression or death from any cause (up to approximately 83 months)

  4. Progression Free Survival

    Defined as the time between the date of randomization (Part 2A), or first dosing for Part 1 and supplemental analysis in Part 2A, and the date of first documented tumor progression, based on investigator assessments (per RECIST v1.1 criteria or PCWG3), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From first dose (Parts 1 A and B) or randomization (Part 2 B) progression or death from any cause (up to approximately 83 months)

  5. Duration of Response

    Defined as the time between the date of first documented response (CR or PR) to the date of the first documented tumor progression, as determined by RECIST v1.1 or PCWG3 criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Subjects who start subsequent therapy without a prior reported progression will be censored at the last evaluable tumor assessments prior to initiation of the subsequent anticancer therapy. Subjects who die without a reported prior progression will be considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Subjects who neither progress nor die, DOR will be censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment. DOR will be evaluated for responders (confirmed CR or PR) only.

    Measured: From first dose (Parts 1 A and B) or randomization (Part 2 B) progression or death from any cause (up to approximately 83 months)

  6. Time to Response

    Defined as the time from first dosing (Part 1)/randomization (Part 2A) to the date of the first confirmed documented response (CR or PR). TTR will be evaluated for responders (confirmed CR or PR) only.

    Measured: From first dose to first objective response (Approximately up to 3 Months)

  7. Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Investigator - Part 1 A, 1B, 2A (Arms C,D,F) and 2B

    Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the percent of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) 3. For both RECIST v1.1 and PCWG3:

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must also have reduction in the short axis to <10mm.

    Partial Response (PR): At least a30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: From first dose (Parts 1 A and B) or randomization (Part 2 B) progression or death from any cause (up to approximately 83 months)

  8. Cmax and Ctau of BMS-986249 - Part 1 A and B, Part 2 A Arms C and F, Part 2 B

    Cmax: The highest concentration of BMS-986249 in the blood after dosing. Ctau: The concentration of BMS-986249 in the blood at the end of a dosing interval, just before the next dose

    Measured: On Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 3 Day 1, Cycle 4 Day 1, Cycle 5 Day 1 (each cycle=28 days)

  9. AUC(0-T) and AUC(TAU) of BMS-986249 - Part 1 A and B, Part 2 A Arms C and F, Part 2 B

    AUC(0-T): The total amount of BMS-986249 in the blood from the time it is given until a specific time point.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BMS-986249, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in people with Advanced Cancer, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 45 sites in 11 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 45 sites in United States, Spain, Australia, Argentina, Germany and 6 more countries. 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 combined 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.

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 18 Nov 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 Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) - Part 1 A and 1 B (time frame: From first dose until 100 days after last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 38 weeks)). The study lists 6 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 18 Nov 2025.
