Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase Ib acceptable dose participants and Phase II participants)
Start of treatment through 2 years after end of treatment (up to 4 years)

PFS is defined as the duration of time from the start date of study treatment to the date of earliest progression or death, whichever occurs first. Patients who neither progress nor die by the data cutoff date will be censored at the last follow up date.

Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (Phase Ib participants)
From start of treatment through completion of cycle 1 (each cycle is 42 days)

DLTs are defined in the protocol.

Secondary Endpoints

Adverse event effect rate (All participants)
Start of treatment through 100 days after discontinuation of therapy (up to 2 years and 100 days)
Disease control rate (DCR) (Phase Ib acceptable dose participants and Phase II participants)
Start of treatment through 2 years after end of treatment (up to 4 years)
Duration of response (DoR) (Phase Ib acceptable dose participants and Phase II participants) (Phase Ib acceptable dose participants and Phase II participants)
Start of treatment through 2 years after end of treatment (up to 4 years)

Frequently asked questions about Ipilimumab

What is Ipilimumab used for in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage IV?

Ipilimumab is being studied as a first-line treatment for patients with Stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. It is given in combination with nivolumab and nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (N-803) in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial.

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 dampen immune responses. By blocking CTLA-4, ipilimumab is designed to enhance the immune system's ability to attack cancer cells.

Who makes Ipilimumab?

Ipilimumab is being developed by ImmunityBio, Inc. (ticker: IBRX). The company is conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial of ipilimumab in combination with other agents for non-small cell lung cancer.

What phase is Ipilimumab in?

Ipilimumab is in Phase 1 clinical development for non-small cell lung cancer. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA for this indication. The ongoing trial is currently recruiting participants.

What clinical trials is Ipilimumab in?

Ipilimumab is being evaluated in a single Phase 1 trial with the identifier NCT07355205. This trial is testing first-line ipilimumab plus nivolumab and nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (N-803) in patients with Stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. The study is recruiting 26 participants in the United States.

Is Ipilimumab the same as Yervoy?

Ipilimumab is the generic name for the drug also known as Yervoy. In the context of this development program, ImmunityBio is studying ipilimumab as part of a combination regimen for non-small cell lung cancer.
