Experimental combo targets Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT03994601
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tested an experimental drug called BMS-986288, both by itself and combined with the immunotherapy nivolumab (Opdivo), in 219 people with advanced solid tumors that had worsened after standard treatments. The main goal was to check safety and tolerability, and to find the right dose. The study is now complete, but results are not yet available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BMS-986288 (an experimental drug) and nivolumab (Opdivo, an immunotherapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard 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. Side effects could be serious, and the results may not lead to a widely available treatment.
