Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Efficacy defined as bladder-intact event-free survival (BI-EFS)
From initiation of study drug until event, defined as described above, whichever comes first. Patients without an event are censored at time of last cystoscopy/last CT scan. Assessed at primary analysis and subsequently at a minimum of 3yrs follow-up.

Events are defined as death by any cause, muscle-invasive, upper urinary tract, nodal or distant recurrence, cystectomy, or switch to cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Number of patients that had surgical resection <12 weeks after study start (Cohort 1)
At 12 weeks

Percentage of patients that underwent surgery within 12 weeks after study start were assessed

Safety of two dose levels of ipilimumab, given prior to surgery, in this patient population.
assessed throughout the study

Secondary Endpoints

Recurrence-free survival (RFS)
From start of therapy until one of the events mentioned above, whichever comes first. RFS will be assessed at the primary analysis and subsequently at a minimum of 3 years follow-up for all patients
Overall survival (OS)
From date of enrollment until date of death. OS will be assessed at the primary analysis and subsequently at a minimum of 3 years follow-up for all patients.
Feasibility to proceed to chemoradiation (CRT)
From the initiation of the study drug untill the the start of CRT

Frequently asked questions about Ipilimumab+ nivolumab

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.
