NCT ID NCT01592370

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested the drug nivolumab (Opdivo), alone or combined with other drugs, in 320 people with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. The main goal was to check safety and side effects, especially for the nivolumab plus daratumumab combination. Researchers also looked at how well the tumors responded. The trial has completed, and results help guide future research.
