These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there currently openings for participation in this research initiative?

"As indicated on clinicaltrials.gov, this trial is not currently recruiting patients. Initially posted in June 2019 and recently updated in May 2022, the study has ceased enrollment for now; however, there are over 1400 other trials ongoing that require participants."

Answered by AI

What conditions can benefit from treatment with Nivolumab?

"Nivolumab is a widely accepted medication for managing malignant neoplasms, as well as unresectable melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma."

Answered by AI

Has Nivolumab been the subject of any other investigations?

"Currently, there are 82 Phase 3 trials and 717 investigations overall that explore the efficacy of nivolumab. Although Basel in Switzerland is hosting most of them, Nivolumab studies can be found in 40282 distinct locations worldwide."

Answered by AI

What possible adverse effects could be experienced from utilizing Nivolumab?

"The safety of Nivolumab has been assessed as a 1 by our team at Power due to the limited data that exists from Phase 1 trials, which lacks evidence for both efficacy and safety."

Answered by AI
