Brief Title: Phase II Trial of Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab in Patients With Renal Medullary Carcinoma
Official Title: Phase II Trial of Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab in Patients With Renal Medullary Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT03274258
Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab and ipilimumab work in treating patients with kidney cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR) of patients with locally advanced or metastatic renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) treated with combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the efficacy and safety of the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab in patients with RMC. II. To evaluate potential biomarkers for patient stratification and treatment response, as well as tumor antigen-specific immune responses, such as antibody and T cell responses, as surrogates for anti-tumor activity. OUTLINE: Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes and ipilimumab IV over 90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive nivolumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.
