Ibrutinib and Nivolumab in Treating Participants With Metastatic Solid Tumors

NCT03525925

Description:

This phase I trial studies how well ibrutinib and nivolumab work in treating participants with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ibrutinib and nivolumab may work better in treating participants with solid tumors.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Evaluate the effect of the ibrutinib therapy on circulating levels of myeloid derived
      suppressor cells MDSC.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Assess safety of the study combination in study subjects.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Evaluate the effect of the ibrutinib/nivolumab therapy on circulating levels of MDSC.

      II. Evaluate the effect of the ibrutinib and ibrutinib/nivolumab therapy on the
      immunosuppressive function of circulating MDSC by measuring their ability to inhibit T cell
      proliferation and natural killer cell mediated antibody dependent cell cytotoxicity.

      III. Study the effect of ibrutinib and ibrutinib/nivolumab therapy on levels of circulating
      innate and adaptive immune cells such as natural killer cell and T lymphocyte subsets.

      IV. Study circulating MDSC levels at the time of disease progression. V. Evaluate in a
      preliminary fashion the effect of the regimen on progression-free survival.

      OUTLINE:

      Participants receive ibrutinib orally (PO) daily for 15 days. After 7 days receiving
      ibrutinib, participants receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on days 1 and
      15. Courses with nivolumab repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or
      unaccepted toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 3 months.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Circulating levels of myeloid derived suppressor cells
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be summarized using descriptive statistics (N, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum) and/or frequency and percentages for medically relevant categories. Changes of the continuous variables will be estimated using mixed model for repeated measures with proper data transformation as needed, and two-way tables and Chi-Square test will be used to summarize the changes of the categorical data.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Incidence of adverse events
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Will be presented using frequencies and percentages.
Measure:Progression free survival
Time Frame:Interval from study enrollment to first documented disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), assessed at 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:One year progression free survival will be defined as proportion of patients who are free of disease progression or death (whichever occurs first) after 1 year of follow up. Progression free survival will be summarized using Kaplan and Meier methods, where patients who are event-free at the time of their last evaluation will be censored at that time point.
