1 CA209-382 A Randomized Phase 2 Open Label Study of Nivolumab Plus Standard Dose Bevacizumab Versus Nivolumab Plus Low Dose Bevacizumab in Recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM)

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness (how well the drug works), safety and tolerability of an investigational drug called nivolumab (also known as BMS-936558) in glioblastoma (a malignant tumor, or GBM), when added to bevacizumab. Nivolumab is an antibody (a kind of human protein) that is being tested to see if it will allow the body's immune system to work against glioblastoma tumors. Opdivo (Nivolumab) is currently FDA approved in the United States for melanoma (a type of skin cancer), non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell cancer (a type of kidney cancer), Hodgkin's lymphoma but is not approved in glioblastoma. Nivolumab may help your immune system detect and attack cancer cells. Bevacizumab is a drug which works on the blood vessel that supply the tumor and potentially can starve the tumor by cutting off the blood supply to these tumors. Bevacizumab is commercially available and FDA approved for patients with recurrent glioblastoma. This study has two study groups. Arm 1 will receive the study drug Nivolumab 240mg and bevacizumab 10 mg (standard dose) every 2 weeks and Arm 2 will receive the study drug Nivolumab 240 mg and bevacizumab 3 mg (reduced dose) every 2 weeks. A process will be used to assign patients, by chance, to one of the study groups. Neither patients nor doctors can choose which group patients are in. This is done by chance because no one knows if one study group is better or worse than the other. 90 total patients are expected to participate in this study (45 patients in each arm). Your total participation in this study from the time you have signed the informed consent to your last visit, including follow-up visits, may be more than three years (depending on what effect the treatment has on your cancer, and how well you tolerate the treatment).
