Brief summary

This study will attempt to determine the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab combination therapy followed by nivolumab monotherapy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer and other tumor solid tumor histologies harboring loss of CDK12 function as well as monotherapy nivolumab treatment in patient with metastatic prostate cancer harboring loss of CDK12 function.

Detailed description

This study investigates the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy in patients with metastatic cancer with CDK12 mutations. The study includes three cohorts: Cohort A consists of metastatic prostate cancer patients being treated with combination nivolumab and ipilimumab treatment followed by monotherapy nivolumab treatment. Cohort B consists of other solid tumor patients being treated with combination nivolumab and ipilimumab treatment followed by monotherapy nivolumab treatment. As of an amendment approved 03FEB2021 a third cohort was added, Cohort C, which consists of metastatic prostate cancer patients being treated with monotherapy nivolumab treatment. As of an amendment approved 21JUN2020 the maximum duration of treatment, as well as the anticipated timing for some of the studies outcome measures, were updated from 52 weeks to 104 weeks.

Interventions

DRUGNivolumab

Patients in arms Metastatic CRPC and Experimental: Solid Tumors (non-prostate) will begin receiving combination therapy with nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV and ipilimumab 1 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks for up to 4 cycles if tolerated, followed by nivolumab maintenance therapy at flat dose 480 mg IV every 4 weeks through the end of the planned study duration, for up to 104 weeks of total therapy. Patients in arm Metastatic CRPC will receive therapy with monotherapy nivolumab therapy at flat dose 480 mg IV every 4 weeks for up to 104 weeks of total therapy.

DRUGIpilimumab

Patients in arms Metastatic CRPC and Experimental: Solid Tumors (non-prostate) will begin receiving combination therapy with nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV and ipilimumab 1 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks for up to 4 cycles if tolerated, followed by nivolumab maintenance therapy at flat dose 480 mg IV every 4 weeks through the end of the planned study duration, for up to 104 weeks of total therapy.
