Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck iv. Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma v.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To determine objective response rates in patients with advanced cancers receiving Nivolumab 40mg every 3 weeks. 2. To determine clinical response rates in patients with advanced cancers receiving Nivolumab 40mg every 3 weeks. Timepoint: 1. Objective response rate will be evaluated at 12 weeks. 2. Clinical response rate will be evaluated at 12 weeks.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To determine progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced cancers receiving Nivolumab 40mg every 3 weeks. 2. To determine overall survival in patients with advanced cancers receiving Nivolumab 40mg every 3 weeks. 3. To record adverse effects related to Nivolumab.Timepoint: 1. PFS will be calculated from the start of ICI until the date of progression or death due to any cause, or the last follow-up date, whichever is earlier. 2. Overall survival will be calculated from the date of starting ICI to the date of death due to any cause. 3. Adverse events while receiving the immunotherapy will be documented.
