Nivolumab clinical trials, in English

Nivolumab (Opdivo) appears across solid tumors and some hematologic studies. Combination records (for example with ipilimumab) have different eligibility than monotherapy. We do not rank checkpoint drugs. Search the same name on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Phase 2: testing Cabozantinib S-malate for Bladder Adenocarcinoma

This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib works in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with rare genitourinary (GU) tumors that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Phase 2: testing Ipilimumab for Endometrial Adenocarcinoma

This phase II trial tests whether the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab is better than nivolumab alone to shrink tumors in patients with deficient mismatch repair system (dMMR) endometrial carcinoma that has come back after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected (recurrent). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair (MMR) is a system for recognizing and repairing damaged DNA.

Phase 2: testing Cabozantinib S-malate for Clinical Stage III Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8

This phase II trial studies the good and bad effects of the combination of drugs called cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma or squamous cell head and neck cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Phase 3: testing Bleomycin Sulfate for Lugano Classification Limited Stage Hodgkin Lymphoma AJCC v8

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates.

Phase 3: testing Fluorouracil for Advanced Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

This phase III trial compares the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) with or without nivolumab to the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) with or without nivolumab for the treatment of patients with advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2 negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, or gastric adenocarcinoma. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment with FOLFOX with some receiving an immunotherapy drug, either nivolumab or pembrolizumab, in addition to FOLFOX chemotherapy.

Blocking TNF to Potentiate the ICI-dependent Immune Awakening in Melanoma

Cutaneous melanoma is a bad prognosis skin cancer, which can be treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), such as anti-PD-1 (nivolumab, nivo) and anti-CTLA-4 (ipilimumab, ipi). However, about 50% of patients do not respond or relapse within 3 years post therapy induction, and immune-related side effects (irAEs), such as colitis, are triggered and can be treated with TNF inhibitor (TNFi; ie, infliximab, inflix).

Phase 2 / Phase 3: testing Nivolumab for Muscle Invasive Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma

This phase II/III trial examines whether patients who have undergone surgical removal of bladder, kidney, ureter or urethra, but require an additional treatment called immunotherapy to help prevent their urinary tract (urothelial) cancer from coming back, can be identified by a blood test. Many types of tumors tend to lose cells or release different types of cellular products including their DNA which is referred to as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) into the bloodstream before changes can be seen on scans.

Phase 2: testing Carboplatin for Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

This phase II trial tests the addition of BMS-986016 (relatlimab) to the usual immunotherapy after initial treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Relatlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This study is an treatment, explorative, prospective study to show whether shortening of infusion times for patients using nivolumab, pembrolizumab, ipilimumab, trastuzumab, bevacizumab, durvalumab or atezolizumab continues to be associated with an acceptable safety profile. Infusion times will be gradually shortened if tolerability allowes.

Phase 2 / Phase 3: testing Nivolumab for Advanced Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

This phase II/III trial compares the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with gastric or esophageal adenocarcinoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens).

FAQ: Nivolumab studies

Are there recruiting Nivolumab clinical trials?

This snapshot currently includes 36 recruiting records that name Nivolumab (or an alias) as an intervention. Also searched as Opdivo. Confirm the intervention list on ClinicalTrials.gov; names can appear in combination studies.

Does a Nivolumab listing mean the drug is approved for that use?

No. ClinicalTrials.gov lists research studies. An NCT number is not prescribing information and is not an FDA approval for you.

Is PlainTrials affiliated with the maker of Nivolumab?

No. Brand and generic names are copied from public registry intervention fields so you can find the matching NCT record.
