What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Deaths
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition occurring in a clinical investigation participant after signing of informed consent, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (such as an abnormal laboratory test result), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study intervention. Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, and requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.
Measured: From first dose (Day 1) and 100 days after last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 25 months)
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
A Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) is a treatment-related adverse event that is severe enough to prevent an increase in dose or continuation of therapy. DLTs include specific hepatic, hematologic, dermatologic, and other toxicities, such as Grade 4 liver enzyme elevations, Grade 4 cytopenias, persistent Grade 3 rashes, or serious organ toxicities unresponsive to treatment. Certain Grade 3 events (e.g., transient nausea, electrolyte imbalances) are excluded if they resolve quickly or with standard care.
Measured: From first dose (Day 1) untill Day 28
Secondary outcomes (9)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is either CR or PR per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 based on Clopper-Pearson method.
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm.
Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum during the study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.
Measured: From the date of randomization to the date of first objectively documented progression or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 25 months)
Duration of Response (DoR)
DOR for a participant with a best overall response (BOR) of CR or PR is defined as the time between the date of first response and the date of the first objectively documented tumor progression by investigator per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or death, whichever occurs first. Median computed using Kaplan-Meier method.
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm.
Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum during the study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.
Measured: From the date of randomization to the date of first objectively documented progression or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 25 months)
Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate
Progression Free Survival Rates at 6 months is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve PFS at 6 months. PFS for a participant is defined as the time from randomization date to the date of first objectively documented disease progression by investigator per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates.
Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum during the study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.
Measured: At 6 months
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of BMS-986315
Blood samples were collected to assess pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1
Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of BMS-986315
Blood samples were collected to assess pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC[0-t]) of BMS-986315
Blood samples were collected to assess pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve in One Dosing Interval (AUC[Tau]) of BMS-986315
Blood samples were collected to assess pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1
Concentration in a Dosing Interval (Ctau) of BMS-986315
Blood samples were collected to assess pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1
Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA)
An ADA positive participant was defined as participant with at least one ADA-positive sample relative to baseline (ADA negative at baseline or ADA titer to be at least 4-fold or greater (>=) than baseline positive titer) at any time after initiation of treatment.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing BMS-986315, nivolumab and cetuximab in people with Advanced Solid Tumor, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 8 sites in 3 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 17 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in Canada, United States, Mexico. 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 17 Dec 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 and Deaths (time frame: From first dose (Day 1) and 100 days after last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 25 months)). The study lists 2 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 17 Dec 2025.
