Nivolumab, Ipilimumab, and Bicalutamide in Human Epidermal Growth Factor (HER) 2 Negative Breast Cancer Patients
A Phase II Study of Nivolumab Combined With Bicalutamide and Ipilimumab in Metastatic HER2-negative Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Bristol-Myers Squibb
Listed as NCT03650894, this observational or N/A phase trial focuses on Breast Cancer and Breast Carcinoma and remains ongoing. Sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb, it has been updated 14 times since 2019, reflecting substantial change activity. This study contributes to the evolving evidence base for cancer treatment protocols.
Study Description(click to expand)This is a phase II trial to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of nivolumab (anti-Programmed Death receptor-1, or anti-PD-1) combined with bicalutamide (Androgen Receptor (AR) inhibitor) and ipilimumab (anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4, or anit-CTLA4) in patients with advanced breast cancer. This study will include adult women with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable Human Epidermal Growth Factor (HER2)-negative breast cancer (by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria). Triple-negative breast cancer tumors will require confirmation of AR positivity at screening. Participants will have had no more than one line of previous chemotherapy in non-curative setting; subjects with metastatic progression within 1 year following completion of curative-intent chemotherapy are eligible if they have not received any additional lines of systemic therapy in the non-curative setting. Women who meet all of the study inclusion criteria, none of the study exclusion criteria, and agree to participate will receive a combination of the following: * Intravenous nivolumab 240mg, every 2 weeks until progression or unacceptable toxicity * Intravenous ipilimumab 1mg/kg, every 6 weeks until progression or unacceptable toxicity * Oral bicalutamide 150mg, daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity Participants are to be treated for up to 24 months. Patients who have ongoing response will discontinue...

Participants are to be treated for up to 24 months. Patients who have ongoing response will discontinue ipilimumab and nivolumab after 24 months, but at the discretion of the investigator may continue bicalutamide, and will continue assessments as per standard of care. Any patient who subsequently progresses will have the option to resume treatment upon disease progression.

Eligibility Summary
The goal of this protocol is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an alternative systemic combination approach that omits or delays the use of chemotherapy in metastatic disease, while improving efficacy and durability of response. The approach combines two potentially effective and previously studied strategies: androgen receptor blockade and immune checkpoint therapy.
