Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (CBM588, nivolumab, ipilimumab)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
Patients receive CBM588 PO BID on days 1-21, nivolumab IV over 30 minutes and ipilimumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days for 4 cycles. Patients then receive CBM588 PO BID on days 1-28 and nivolumab IV on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo CT, bone scan and blood sample collection throughout the study. Patients may optionally undergo MRI on study.

"Yes, information on clinicaltrials.gov affirms that this trial is actively seeking participants. The study was first listed on June 19th, 2024 and last modified on May 1st, 2024. There is a need for recruitment of 28 patients across one site."

Answered by AI

What is the collective count of individuals actively involved in this research trial?

"Indeed, data on clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this investigation is currently seeking suitable candidates. This study was initially listed on June 19th, 2024, and its most recent update was made on May 1st, 2024. The research team aims to enroll a total of 28 participants at one designated site."

Answered by AI

What are the main goals that this investigation aims to achieve?

"The objective of this investigation, to be observed over a maximum time span of 3 years, is the identification of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT). Additional outcomes encompass changes in gut microbiome diversity characterized by The Shannon index calculation for comparison at various intervals. Progression-free survival (PFS), as defined from treatment commencement until disease progression or death using Kaplan-Meier methodology and log-rank testing across dosage tiers. Median PFS duration per dose levels will be reported utilizing Cox proportional hazard modeling without adjusting for covariates. Moreover, overall response rate (ORR) assessed via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors"

Answered by AI

What are the safety considerations for individuals undergoing Therapy (CBM588, nivolumab, ipilimumab)?

"The safety rating for the Treatment (CBM588, nivolumab, ipilimumab) is rated as 1 by our team at Power. This score reflects the early Phase 1 nature of the trial and signifies that there is limited data available to support both safety and efficacy."
