What is being measured

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

  1. Total Number of Participants Experiencing High Grade Immune-Mediated Adverse Events (IMAE)

    IMAEs are a type of adverse event that occurs when the immune system reacts against the body's own tissues, including diarrhea/colitis, hepatitis, pneumonitis, nephritis and renal dysfunction, rash, and endocrine (adrenal insufficiency, hypophysitis, hypothyroidism/thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes mellitus). IMAE analyses includes events, regardless of causality, which occurred during the study and follow-up. Only participants who received immune-modulating medication for treatment of the event are reported, with the exception of endocrine events, which will be included regardless of treatment since these events are often managed without immunosuppression.

    High grade (Grade 3 to 4 and Grade 5) IMAEs are reported. IMAEs are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, in which Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events may require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal.

    Measured: From first dose until 100 days after the last dose or for a maximum of 52 weeks from the date of the first on-study dose of nivolumab, whichever occurs earlier.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time to Onset of High Grade Immune-Mediated Adverse Event (IMAE)

    Time to onset is defined as the time between the day of the first dose of study treatment and the onset date of the earliest AE (Grades 3-5) in this category. All IMAEs that occurred between first dose and 100 days past last dose are recorded. IMAEs are a type of adverse event that occurs when the immune system reacts against the body's own tissues. IMAE analyses includes events, regardless of causality, which occurred during the study and follow-up. Only participants who received immune-modulating medication for treatment of the event are reported, with the exception of endocrine events, which will be included regardless of treatment since these events are often managed without immunosuppression.

    High grade (Grades 3 through 5) IMAEs are reported. IMAEs are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, in which Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events may require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal.

    Measured: From first dose until onset of IMAE (up to approximately 15 months)

  2. Time to Resolution of High Grade Immune-Mediated Adverse Event (IMAE)

    Time to resolution of IMAEs is defined as the longest time from onset to complete resolution or improvement to the grade at baseline among all clustered AEs experienced by the participant in this category per adverse event criteria category. Events which worsened into grade 5 events (death) or have a resolution date equal to the date of death are considered unresolved. If a clustered AE is considered as unresolved, the resolution date will be censored to the last known alive date. Improvement to the grade at baseline implies that all different events in the clustered adverse event should at least have improved to the corresponding (i.e. with same preferred term) baseline grade.

    High grade (Grades 3 through 5) IMAEs are reported. IMAEs are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, in which Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events may require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal.

    Measured: From first dose until resolution of IMAE (up to approximately 15 months)

  3. The Number of Participants Who Received Immune-Modulating Medication

    Immune modulating medications are medications entered on an immune modulating medication form or available from the most current pre-defined list of immune modulating medications. This list is revisited whenever UMC WHO releases a new version and updated accordingly.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to approximately 15 months)

  4. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) was defined as the number of participants with a best overall response of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (per RECIST 1.1 criteria) divided by the number of all treated participants. RECIST 1.1 = Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. CR= Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to approximately 15 months)

  5. Time to Response (TTR)

    TTR is defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of the first confirmed documented response (CR or PR). For the non-responders, TTR was censored at the maximum time of response + 1 day of all participants.

    CR= Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: From first dose to the date of CR or PR (up to approximately 15 months)

  6. Duration of Response (DoR)

    Duration of Response (DOR) is defined as the time between the date of first documented response (CR or PR) that was subsequently confirmed to the date of the first documented progression as determined using RECIST 1.1, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. For participants who neither progress nor die, the duration of response will be censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment. For participants who start subsequent therapy before progression or die, the duration of response will be censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment conducted on or prior to the initiation of the subsequent therapy.

    CR= Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Analysis based on Kaplan Meier estimates.

    Measured: From first documented response (CR or PR) up to first documented progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 3 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in people with Kidney Neoplasms, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 11 sites in India.

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 4 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 11 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in India. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 11 Jul 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?

Total Number of Participants Experiencing High Grade Immune-Mediated Adverse Events (IMAE) (time frame: From first dose until 100 days after the last dose or for a maximum of 52 weeks from the date of the first on-study dose of nivolumab, whichever occurs earlier.). 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?
