Intervention / Treatment
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.

- Patients must not have history of other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of ipilimumab or nivolumab or that might affect the interpretation of the results of the study or render the subject at high risk from treatment complications.
- Patients should not receive immunization with attenuated live vaccines within one week (7 days) of study entry or during study period; Note: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed; however intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., Flu-Mist) are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed.

Descriptive statistics will include tabulations of frequencies.
The estimate of the posterior ORR and its 95% credible interval will be estimated using the same prior as utilized in the futility monitoring rules.
The posterior distribution for ORR of this trial will be compared to the historical data.
The Kaplan-Meier method will be utilized to display time to ORR.
Association with ORR, clinical benefit rate (CBR), or toxicity (TOX) events will be explored with logistic regression.
