Evaluating BMS-986449 with and without Nivolumab for advanced solid tumors

A Phase 1/2 Study of BMS-986449 Alone and in Combination With Nivolumab in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Bristol-Myers Squibb · NCT05888831

This study is testing a new treatment called BMS-986449, alone and with another drug called nivolumab, to see if it helps people with advanced solid tumors like lung and breast cancer who haven't responded to other therapies.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of BMS-986449, both alone and in combination with nivolumab, in patients suffering from advanced solid tumors. Participants must have confirmed advanced, unresectable, or metastatic solid malignancies and have previously received or been intolerant to existing therapies. The study is divided into three parts, focusing on different types of solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer and triple-negative breast cancer. Tumor biopsies will be collected to evaluate the response to treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with advanced, unresectable solid tumors who have not responded to or are intolerant of existing therapies.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of severe toxicity from prior T-cell agonist or checkpoint inhibitor therapies may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited therapeutic alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar immunotherapy approaches, indicating potential for success in this area.

Eligibility criteria

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* All participants must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed, advanced, unresectable/metastatic, solid malignancy (measurable by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] v1.1), and have received, be refractory to, ineligible for, or intolerant of existing therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for the condition of the participant.

  * Part 1A may have a solid malignancy of any histology.
  * Part 1B is restricted to participants with Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  * Part 1C is restricted to participants with Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
* Tumor biopsy must be obtained for all participants (unless medically precluded).

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of Grade ≥ 3 toxicity related to prior T-cell agonist or checkpoint inhibitor therapy (eg, anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 \[CTLA-4\], or anti-PD- 1/programmed death-ligand 1 \[PD-L1\] treatment, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or other immune checkpoint pathways) except those that are unlikely to re-occur with standard countermeasures.
* Current or recent (within 3 months of study intervention administration) gastrointestinal disease or gastrointestinal surgery (eg, intestinal/gastric/colon resection) that could impact the absorption of study intervention.
* Any significant acute or chronic medical illness which would interfere with study intervention or follow-up in the opinion of the investigator.

Other protocol-defined criteria may apply.
