Conditions
Brief summary
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works for the treatment of hematological malignancies that have come back (relapsed), does not respond (refractory), or is detectable after CAR T cell therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Detailed description
OUTLINE: Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days and then for up to 5 years.

Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement doses are permitted in absence of active autoimmune disease * Known history of any active infectious pneumonitis * Presence of acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) requiring active treatment unless limited to skin involvement and managed with topical steroid therapy alone * Has active cytokine release syndrome * Pregnancy or breastfeeding: Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (urine pregnancy test: minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin \[hCG\]) within 14 days of the first dose of study drug. Women must not be breastfeeding. Females of non-childbearing potential are those who are postmenopausal greater than 1 year or who have had a bilateral tubal ligation or hysterectomy. Females of childbearing potential and males who have partners of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 effective contraceptive methods during the study and for 8 months following the last dose of nivolumab
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Best Overall Response Rate (ORR) | Up to 1 year and 8 months | Assessed by disease-specific guidelines: multiple myeloma - International Myeloma Working Group response criteria, non-Hodgkin lymphoma - Response assessment will be based on the Lugano Criteria, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia - Response assessment based on the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) Criteria. ORR will be estimated, and its corresponding 95% exact binomial confidence interval (CI) will be provided. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Survival | From the first study drug administration to death from any cause, up to 5 years | Will employ Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard model methodology. |
| Progression-free Survival | From first study drug administration to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, up to 1 year and 8 months | Will employ Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard model methodology. |
| Duration of Response | Up to 1 year and 7 months | Will employ Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard model methodology. |
| Incidence of Adverse Events | Up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug, up to a maximum of 1 year and 9 months | Will be determined by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5.0. Safety data will be summarized descriptively. Adverse events will be summarized by severity, seriousness, and relationship to study drug. |
