Nivolumab + Ipilimumab for Uterine Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab alone or in combination with ipilimumab works in treating patients with uterine cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
