Study Summary

This trial is studying how well these drugs work when given at different times.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced kidney cancer, including those who haven't had their cancer surgically removed or have metastatic RCC. Participants can be new or previously treated but not with certain immune checkpoint inhibitors. They must have measurable disease, good organ function, and provide a tissue sample. Women of childbearing age need a negative pregnancy test and agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The OMNIVORE Study is testing the timing and effectiveness of two drugs, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab, in treating advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The study aims to optimize how these drugs are administered based on patient response to treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions that may affect organs like the liver or lungs, skin rash, hormone gland problems (like thyroid), infusion reactions during drug administration, fatigue, and possible increased risk of infections.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Overall cohort: Initial Primary Treatment with Nivolumab (induction phase)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Therapy with nivolumab IV every 2 weeks Serial imaging assessments every 8 weeks After confirmatory scans, patients are assigned to Arm A or Arm B.
Group II: Arm B: Nivolumab+Ipilimumab then nivolumab alone (for patients with SD/PD to induction nivolumab)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients with confirmed SD/PD to induction nivolumab are allocated to Arm B (Combination Therapy Arm). In combination therapy, patients received nivolumab 3 mg/kg and ipilimumab 1 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks for two doses. After then nivolumab will be continued at 480 mg IV every 4 weeks until disease progression. Arm B patients undergo imaging at 12 weeks and then every 8 weeks.
Group III: Arm A: Observation Arm (for patients with persistent response to induction nivolumab)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients with persistent response (complete or partial response) to induction nivolumab are assigned to Arm A (Observation Arm). Patients discontinued nivolumab after allocation to Arm A. Serial imaging assessments every 8 weeks. If scans persistently show PR/CR, patients remained on observation. If progressive disease develops, therapy with nivolumab (480 mg IV every 4 weeks) will be resumed. If there is subsequent progression on nivolumab monotherapy, ipilimumab (1 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks x 2 doses) is added. If progression after nivolumab + ipilimumab, therapy discontinued. If SD/PR/CR, nivolumab is continued until progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Could you provide a synopsis of the earlier studies pertaining to Nivolumab?

"Nivolumab was initially tested in 2009 at Texas Children's Hospital and has since seen 365 trials to completion. Currently, 765 studies are actively recruiting participants, with numerous sites located around Boston."

Answered by AI

What conditions are commonly treated with Nivolumab?

"Nivolumab is often employed following anti-angiogenic therapy to treat serious illnesses like cancerous tumours, unresectable melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma."

Answered by AI

Has the Food and Drug Administration sanctioned Nivolumab for therapeutic use?

"Based on the information available, our team at Power has assigned Nivolumab a rating of 2 due to its Phase 2 trial status. At this stage, there is evidence for safety but not efficacy."

Answered by AI

What are the main aims of this clinical research?

"According to the Bristol-Myers Squibb trial sponsor, this study's primary outcome is the number of subjects who progress or remain stable but convert to complete/partial response after adding ipilimumab to nivolumab. This research will also be observing secondary outcomes such as 18 month Overall Survival Rate From Initiation of Nivolumab Induction (Overall Cohort), Percentage of Subjects Who Experienced Grade 3-4 Treatment Related Adverse Events (TRAE) During the Arm B Treatment (Arm B Only), and Percentage of Subjects Who Had Complete or Partial Response (CR/PR) to Nivol"

Answered by AI

In what areas can patients access this clinical trial?

"This clinical trial is currently enrolling patients at 8 different locations, including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Providence and Lifespan Comprehensve Cancer Center in Madison."

Answered by AI

Would participants be accepted at this point for the clinical trial?

"According to sources on clinicaltrials.gov, this project is not presently recruiting any study participants; the latest update was recorded on April 22nd 2022. Despite that fact, there are 1188 other trials seeking candidates at present time."

Answered by AI

How many participants have been enrolled in this experiment thus far?

"Unfortunately, this clinical trial is not currently accepting any new participants. The study was first uploaded on October 26th 2017 and the most recent changes were made April 22nd 2022. Should you seek other trials, there are 423 studies with kidney neoplasms actively recruiting patients as well as 765 Nivolumab trials looking for volunteers."
