An Investigational Study of Infliximab With Prednisone or Methylprednisolone Versus Prednisone Combination Treatment in Immune Related or Severe Diarrhea in Patients Treated With Yervoy and/or Opdivo

October 5, 2018 updated by: Bristol-Myers Squibb

A Phase 2, Randomized, Open-Label Study of Infliximab and Lower Exposure Corticosteroids vs Methylprednisolone and Higher Exposure Oral Corticosteroids for the Management of Immune-Related Severe or Persistent Diarrhea in Patients Treated With Yervoy (Ipilimumab) and/or Opdivo (Nivolumab)

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Infliximab and oral prednisone versus methylprednisolone and oral prednisone in patients with melanoma, lung cancer, or renal cell carcinoma who have immune related Grade 3-4 diarrhea for up to 3 days or persistent Grade 2 diarrhea for more than 5 days after treatment with Yervoy and/or Opdivo
