NCT ID NCT06031233
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing whether giving several common cancer immunotherapy drugs over a shorter time is safe. It involves 776 adults starting treatment with drugs like nivolumab or pembrolizumab. Infusion times will be gradually shortened if patients tolerate it well, and researchers will monitor for infusion reactions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nivolumab, pembrolizumab, ipilimumab, durvalumab, atezolizumab, bevacizumab, trastuzumab, rituximab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could allow cancer patients to receive their immunotherapy infusions in a shorter time, making treatment more convenient.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase observational study, so results may not apply to all patients. There is a risk of infusion reactions with faster delivery.
