Waitlist Available
Research Sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 0 or 1
Histologic or cytologic confirmation of a solid tumor that is advanced (metastatic, recurrent and/or unresectable) with measurable disease per RECIST v1.1
Must not have
Cytotoxic agents, unless at least 4 weeks have elapsed from last dose of prior anti-cancer therapy and initiation of study therapy
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up approximately 5 years

Summary

This trial is testing a new drug called BMS-986253 along with other cancer treatments, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab, in patients with advanced cancers to see if it can improve their effectiveness.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors, who are physically capable of daily activity or light work. They must have a tumor that can be measured and one that's reachable for biopsy. People taking high-dose steroids, recent cytotoxic agents, those with HIV/AIDS, or active autoimmune diseases cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests BMS-986253 in combination with Nivolumab or both Nivolumab and Ipilimumab against cancer. Participants will receive either the experimental medication plus standard treatments or a placebo alongside standard treatments to compare effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, infusion-related symptoms like chills and fever, fatigue, skin issues from rash to itching, gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea or colitis, liver inflammation and potential hormonal gland issues.
