What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Grade 3/Grade 4 Laboratory Test Results

    Laboratory test results are graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 3.0.

    Grade 3 = Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening. Grade 4 = Life-threatening or disabling.

    Measured: From first dose (Day 1) and within 30 days of last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 69 months)

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Deaths

    Adverse events are any unfavorable or unintended signs, symptoms, or diseases occurring in study participants during a clinical trial, regardless of whether they are related to the intervention. They include all-cause mortality, serious adverse events, and other events exceeding a set frequency threshold. Serious adverse events are a subset that result in significant outcomes such as death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization or its prolongation, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or other medically important conditions.

    Measured: From first dose (Day 1) and within 30 days of last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 69 months)

  3. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities

    Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are treatment-related adverse events occurring during the first cycle (typically Days 1-28) that meet predefined severity criteria per NCI CTCAE v4.03. Hematologic DLTs include Grade 4 neutropenia >5 days, Grade 3 neutropenia with fever, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or Grade 3 with bleeding, and Grade 4 anemia. Non-hematologic DLTs include any toxicity ≥Grade 3 (except alopecia or controlled nausea) or treatment interruption ≥2 weeks due to adverse events.

    Measured: From first dose (Day 1) and up to 42 days post first dose

  4. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) is the percentage of participants whose best overall response is Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) per RECIST v1.1. CR is the disappearance of all target lesions and reduction of pathological lymph nodes to <10 mm. PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline. ORR is calculated as: (Number of participants with CR or PR ÷ Total participants) × 100. Confidence intervals are typically estimated using the Clopper-Pearson method.

    Measured: From the date of first dose (Day 1) to up to the date of objectively documented progression or the date of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first (up to 80 months)

  5. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Disease Control Rate (DCR) is the percentage of participants whose Best Overall Response (BOR) is Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1. CR is the disappearance of all target lesions and reduction of any pathological lymph nodes to <10 mm. PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline. SD is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. DCR is calculated as: (Number of participants with CR, PR, or SD ÷ Total participants) × 100.

    Measured: From the date of first dose (Day 1) to up to the date of objectively documented progression or the date of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first (up to 80 months)

  6. Duration of Response (DoR)

    Duration of Response (mDOR) is the median time from the first documented occurrence of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) until disease progression or death, assessed per RECIST v1.1. CR is the disappearance of all target lesions and reduction of pathological lymph nodes to <10 mm. PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline. Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions or appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: From the date of first dose (Day 1) to up to the date of objectively documented progression or the date of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first (up to 80 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is the time from randomization or treatment start until the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed per RECIST v1.1. Disease progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (minimum 5 mm absolute increase) or appearance of new lesions. Participants without progression or death are censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. PFS is typically analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates and reported in months.

    Measured: From the date of first dose (Day 1) to up to the date of the first documented disease progression or death (up to approximately 80 months)

  2. Progression Free Survival Rate at 6 and 12 Months

    Progression-Free Survival Rate (PFSR) is the percentage of participants who remain alive without disease progression, assessed per RECIST v1.1. Disease progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (minimum 5 mm absolute increase) or appearance of new lesions. Participants without progression or death by the time point are considered event-free

    Measured: Month 6 and 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Relatlimab, Nivolumab and BMS-986205 in people with Advanced Cancer, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 22 sites in 7 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 3 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 6 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in United States, Spain, France, Italy, Australia and 2 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 6 Apr 2026). 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 Grade 3/Grade 4 Laboratory Test Results (time frame: From first dose (Day 1) and within 30 days of last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 69 months)). 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 6 Apr 2026.
