NCT ID NCT03195478
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, in 37 Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors that had not responded to prior treatment. The main goals were to check safety and see if the drugs could shrink tumors. The trial is now complete, and results will help determine if this combination is a viable option for this population.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 37 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination can cause serious immune-related side effects.
