Study #2014-0861
An Open-label Phase II Study of Nivolumab (BMS-936558) in Combination with 5-azacytidine (Vidaza), nivolumab in combination with 5-azacytidine and venetoclax, or Nivolumab with Ipilimumab in combination with 5-azacytidine for the Treatment of Patients with Refractory/ Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia and newly diagnosed older AML (?65 years) patients
MD Anderson Study Status
Enrolling
Treatment Agent
Azacitidine, Ipilimumab, Nivolumab
Description
This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab and azacitidine with or without ipilimumab when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has not responded to previous treatment or has returned after a period of improvement or is newly diagnosed. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab, azacitidine and ipilimumab may kill more cancer cells.
