Brief summary

To assess the relationship between progression free survival of patients treated with nivolumab for metastatic non small cell lung carcinoma or a metastatic renal cell carcinoma and nivolumab blood concentration. Collection of standard data prospectively.

Detailed description

Nivolumab is a monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of non small cell lung carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. Huge variability exists between patients treated by nivolumab in terms of efficacy and side effects. Like others monoclonal antibodies, a relation between concentration and effects of nivolumab may exist. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between blood concentration of nivolumab and progression free survival, overall survival and side effects on the one hand, and on the other to describe pharmacokinetic of nivolumab

Interventions

OTHERPharmacokinetic of Nivolumab

Nivolumab residual concentration is measured 14 days after administration of nivolumab 3 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion just before the new administration.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression free survivalUp to one yearAssociation between nivolumab concentration and progression free survival : time from start of nivolumab treatment to progression

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survivalUp to one yearAssociation between nivolumab concentration and overall survival : time from start of nivolumab treatment to death
Target concentration14 daysDetermination of nivolumab concentration associated with clinical benefit (complete response + partial response + stable disease)
Side effects14 daysAssociation between nivolumab residual concentration and side effects
Nivolumab PK parameters : distribution volumeBaseline up to one yearNivolumab residual concentrations will be measured each 14 days until the end of the study (up to one year).
Nivolumab PK parameters : clearanceBaseline up to one yearNivolumab residual concentrations will be measured each 14 days until the end of the study (up to one year).
