Immunotherapy cocktail targets tough blood cancers
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nivolumab (Opdivo), alone or combined with ipilimumab, lirilumab, daratumumab, pomalidomide, or dexamethasone
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward new treatment options for patients with hard-to-treat blood cancers like lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial focused on safety, not a proven treatment. Results may not lead to a standard therapy, and side effects can be serious.
