About this study

Official title: Dual Immune Checkpoint Blockade and Hypofractionated Radiation in Patients With Salivary Gland Cancers

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab and ipilimumab works when given together with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating patients with salivary gland cancers. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving nivolumab and ipilimumab and SBRT may work better in treating patients with advanced salivary gland cancers.

Read the detailed description

Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for up to 12 courses and then every 4 weeks for additional 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive ipilimumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning week 3, patients undergo 3 fractions of stereotactic body radiation therapy every other day in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 8 or 12 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Toxicity Graded According to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0

    Toxicities will be summarized as the number and percentage of patients with each type of toxicity, per Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0

    Measured: From start of treatment through up to 100 days after the completion of study treatment (up to 16 months total)

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Clinical responses to the combination of nivolumab, ipilimumab and hypofractionated radiation will be based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS estimate will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesion

    Measured: From the date of study enrollment, until disease progression or death, assessed up to 4 years

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS estimate will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From the date of study enrollment, until disease progression or death, assessed up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Nivolumab, Ipilimumab and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in people with Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Bone and Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Lung, run by University of Washington at 1 site in United States.

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 26 inclusion and 33 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 29 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 29 Dec 2023). 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?

Incidence of Toxicity Graded According to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0 (time frame: From start of treatment through up to 100 days after the completion of study treatment (up to 16 months total)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03749460.

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 29 Dec 2023.
