Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The immune response disease control rate (irDCR) using the immune-related (ir) tumor response criteria of the combination of ipilimumab and fotemustine in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic melanoma.
Weeks 24

Immune-related Disease Control Rate (irDCR) is the proportion of treated subjects with a BOR of confirmed irCR, confirmed irPR or irSD. Tumor assessment (including determination of overall response at each tumor assessment and best overall response (BOR) taken over all tumor assessments prior to subsequent therapy is performed using the immune-related (ir) tumor response criteria.

Secondary Endpoints

2 years
Immune-related Major Durable Disease Control Rate (irMDDCR)
up to 24 weeks
Immune-related Objective Response Rate (irORR)

Frequently asked questions about Ipilimumab and Fotemustine

What is Ipilimumab used for?

Ipilimumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied for multiple cancers, including advanced melanoma, advanced biliary tract cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, lung cancer, renal cancer, and pancreatic cancer. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development for these oncology indications.

What does Ipilimumab target?

Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody (mab) that targets CTLA-4, a protein on T cells that acts as a checkpoint to regulate immune responses. By blocking CTLA-4, ipilimumab is designed to enhance the body's immune system to attack cancer cells.

Who makes Ipilimumab?

Ipilimumab is being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, which trades under the ticker symbol BMY on the New York Stock Exchange. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in various cancer types.

What phase is Ipilimumab in?

Ipilimumab is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. While some completed trials have been conducted in earlier phases, the drug remains investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities for any indication.

What clinical trials is Ipilimumab in?

Ipilimumab has been studied in multiple clinical trials, including NCT00527735 for lung cancer, NCT01585987 for gastric cancer, NCT02279732 for non-small cell lung cancer, and NCT04141644 for EGFR-mutated NSCLC. These trials have explored the drug alone or in combination with other therapies.

Is Ipilimumab the same as Ipilimumab plus nivolumab?

Ipilimumab is the single-agent drug, while Ipilimumab plus nivolumab refers to a combination regimen. The drug is also known by several names, including neoadjuvant ipilimumab, ipilimumab/nivolumab, and ipilimumab 3mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg, reflecting different dosing schedules.
