Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Phase 1, Part 1: Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Day 42

A DLT was defined as occurrence of any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) in Phase 1 Parts 1 and 2. DLT included all TEAE of specified grades such as 1) Hematologic toxicities - any Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or neutropenia, anemia, febrile neutropenia, ≥ Grade 3 hemolysis, thrombocytopenia and 2) Nonhematologic toxicities - Grade 4 AE, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, electrolyte abnormality, ≥ Grade 3 aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or total bilirubin elevation, Grade 2 AST/ALT with symptomatic liver inflammation, AST or ALT \> 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and concurrent total bilirubin \> 2 × ULN without initial findings of cholestasis, and any other ≥ Grade 3 toxicity. A TEAE is any AE either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug and up to 100 days after last dose of study drug.

Phase 1, Part 2: Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Day 42

A DLT was defined as occurrence of any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) in Phase 1 Parts 1 and 2. DLT included all TEAE of specified grades such as 1) Hematologic toxicities - any Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or neutropenia, anemia, febrile neutropenia, ≥ Grade 3 hemolysis, thrombocytopenia and 2) Nonhematologic toxicities - Grade 4 AE, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, electrolyte abnormality, ≥ Grade 3 aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or total bilirubin elevation, Grade 2 AST/ALT with symptomatic liver inflammation, AST or ALT \> 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and concurrent total bilirubin \> 2 × ULN without initial findings of cholestasis, and any other ≥ Grade 3 toxicity. A TEAE is any AE either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug and up to 100 days after last dose of study drug.

Phase 1, Parts 1 and 2: Number of Participants With At Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
up to approximately 39 months

An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A TEAE is any AE either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug and up to 100 days after last dose of study drug.

Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) in Participants With Select Solid Tumors Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 for Participants With Solid Tumors and Per Cheson Criteria for Participants With DLBCL
From first dose up end of the study (up to approximately 6 years)

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants having a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease per RECIST v1.1. CR per RECIST v 1.1 was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR per RECIST v 1.1 was defined as At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the Baseline sum diameters. Data is reported as per dose received by the participants with a particular cancer type. CR per Cheson criteria was defined as complete disappearance of all detectable clinical evidence of disease and disease-related symptoms. PR per Cheson criteria was defined as at least a 50% decrease in sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) of up to 6 of the largest dominant nodes or nodal masses.

Phase 2: Progression Free Survival (PFS)
From first dose up end of the study (up to approximately 6 years)

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease per RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Phase 2: Overall Survival (OS) Rate of Proportion With Glioblastoma
Month 9

OS rate is defined as the proportion of participants alive 9 months after the start of treatment.

Frequently asked questions about Nivolumab

What is Nivolumab used for in B-cell Malignancies?

Nivolumab is an investigational antibody being studied for the treatment of B-cell Malignancies. It is being evaluated in combination with epacadostat in a clinical trial for select advanced cancers, including B-cell Malignancies. The drug is in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved for this indication.

What does Nivolumab target?

Nivolumab is a monoclonal antibody (mab) that targets the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) receptor. By binding to PD-1, it is designed to enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells. This mechanism is being studied in the context of B-cell Malignancies and other advanced cancers.

Who makes Nivolumab?

Nivolumab is being developed by Incyte Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company. Incyte is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Nivolumab in combination with other agents for the treatment of advanced cancers, including B-cell Malignancies.

What phase is Nivolumab in?

Nivolumab is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Nivolumab when administered in combination with epacadostat in patients with select advanced cancers.

What clinical trials is Nivolumab in?

Nivolumab is being studied in clinical trial NCT02327078, titled 'A Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Epacadostat Administered in Combination With Nivolumab in Select Advanced Cancers (ECHO-204)'. This Phase 1 trial has been completed and enrolled 307 participants across the United States and United Kingdom.

Is Nivolumab the same as Opdivo?

Nivolumab is the generic name for the drug marketed as Opdivo. However, the information provided does not specify alternative names for this drug. In the context of this clinical trial, Nivolumab is being studied in combination with epacadostat for the treatment of advanced cancers.
