Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of interleukin-21 (IL-21) and Ipilimumab in subjects with melanoma is safe, and provide preliminary information on the clinical benefits of the combination compared with Ipilimumab alone

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part1 (Dose Escalation): The Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BMS-982470 using 2 distinct schedules when administered in combination with IpilimumabWithin the first 63 daysBased on the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate
Part 2 (Cohort Escalation): Safety and tolerability of the MTD dose for each of the schedules84 days on treatmentBased on medical review of AE reports and the results of vital sign measurements, physical examinations, medical history, and clinical laboratory tests
