New immunotherapy combo shows promise for advanced cancers
NCT ID NCT03369223
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested an experimental drug called BMS-986249, either alone or combined with the immunotherapy nivolumab (Opdivo), in 356 people with advanced solid tumors. The main goals were to check safety and find the right dose. Researchers also looked at whether the tumors shrank. The trial has completed, and results will help guide future studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BMS-986249 (an experimental immunotherapy) and nivolumab (Opdivo)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial focused on safety, so it is not yet known if the drug combination works better than existing treatments. Side effects may be serious.
