CheckMate-67T Trial Summary

This trial will compare the effects of two ways of administering the drug nivolumab in patients who have a certain type of kidney cancer that has come back or spread.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma who've had no more than two prior treatments. They must have a Karnofsky performance status of at least 70, measurable disease by RECIST v1.1, and agree to use contraception if needed. Exclusions include untreated brain metastases, active autoimmune diseases, certain HIV conditions, recent live vaccines, other cancers within 2 years, and previous treatment with specific immune-targeting drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the levels and effects of Nivolumab when given as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) versus intravenously (into a vein). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these methods to assess drug efficacy and safety in those previously treated for kidney cancer that has spread.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Nivolumab can cause immune-related side effects such as inflammation in organs like lungs or intestines, skin reactions, hormone gland problems (like thyroid), liver issues; also fatigue, weakness, rash may occur. Side effects vary from person to person.

What are Nivolumab and rHuPH20 used to treat?

"Nivolumab and rHuPH20 is most commonly used to treat different forms of cancer. However, it can also be used to treat other medical conditions such as unresectable melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and drug extravasation."

Answered by AI

Are Nivolumab and rHuPH20 new drugs being trialed?

"Nivolumab and rHuPH20 was first studied in the year 2010 at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute. To date there have been 284 completed clinical trials. There are presently 786 actively recruiting clinical trials, with a large number of these studies based in Chicago, Illinois."

Answered by AI

How many individuals are being administered the trial medication?

"The sponsor, Bristol-Myers Squibb, needs to recruit 454 patients that meet the clinical study's inclusion criteria from various medical centres. For example, Reading Hospital McGlinn Cancer Institute in Chicago, Illinois and Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New york are both participating in the trial."

Answered by AI

What is novel about this research?

"Nivolumab and rHuPH20 have been under medical scrutiny since 2010. The first clinical trial was funded by Medarex and took place in 2010. After the initial study, which involved 127 people, Nivolumab and rHuPH20 received Phase 1 drug approval. Currently, there are 786 live studies involving this medication across 2486 cities and 57 countries."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA given the okay to use Nivolumab and rHuPH20 together?

"Nivolumab and rHuPH20 have both received a 3 for safety. This is due to the fact that this is a Phase 3 trial, which provides clinical evidence for the efficacy of the medication as well as data supporting its safety from multiple rounds of testing."
