Hepatic and Other
Coagulation
Exclusion Criteria:
Treatment with systemic medications including but not limited to: prednisone, dexamethasone, cyclosporine, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents within 2 weeks of first study dose.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.
It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.
PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.
The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.
“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.
ECOG performance status
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

* Nivolumab and Ipilimumab are administered intravenously every 3 weeks for a total of 4 maximum doses. After combination therapy, nivolumab will be administered as monotherapy every 4 weeks. * Doses are determined per protocol.
Drug: Ipilimumab · Drug: Nivolumab
is an immunotherapy medication that stimulates the immune system to fight cancer cells throughout the body.
Also known as: Yervoy
Nivolumab binds to and blocks the activation of PD-1. This results in the activation of T-cells and cell-mediated immune responses against tumor cells
Also known as: Opdivo
Objective Response Rate
Radiologic disease assessment performed at 12 weeks after initial treatment and then every 6 or 12 weeks. These radiologic disease assessments are evaluated per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 guidelines. This will be conducted by cohort ((1) ACC, (2) Non-urothelial bladder/upper tract cancer and (3) other rare GU tumors)
Time frame: Imaging will occur every 6-12 weeks study entry up until disease progression (up to 24 months)
Objective Response Rate for all rare GU tumor types
Radiologic disease assessment performed at 12 weeks after initial treatment and then every 6 or 12 weeks. These radiologic disease assessments are evaluated per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 guidelines. A pooled analysis of all tumor cohorts will be done as a secondary analysis.
Time frame: Imaging will occur every 6-12 weeks study entry up until disease progression (up to 24 months)
Duration of Response
The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started, or death due to any cause) estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meir for all patients and by tumor cohorts. (((1) ACC, (2) Non-urothelial bladder/upper tract cancer and (3) other rare GU tumors)
Time frame: Imaging will occur every 6-12 weeks study entry up until disease progression (up to 24 months)
Immune related objective response rate
Radiologic disease assessment performed at 12 weeks after initial treatment and then every 6 or 12 weeks. These radiologic disease assessments are evaluated per Immune-Related Response Criteria (irRC) and will be analyzed for all patients any by tumor cohort ((1) ACC, (2) Non-urothelial bladder/upper tract cancer and (3) other rare GU tumors)
Time frame: Imaging will occur every 6-12 weeks study entry up until disease progression (up to 24 months)
Progression-Free Survival for the total cohort and by tumor cohort
PFS is measured from the start of treatment until the documented progression by RESIST criteria or death from any cause. This will be summarized using the method of Kaplan-Meir for all patients and by tumor cohorts. ((1) ACC, (2) Non-urothelial bladder/upper tract cancer and (3) other rare GU tumors)
Time frame: From start of treatment until date of death from any cause (average 24 months)
Overall Survival for all patients and by tumor cohort
OS is measured from the start of treatment until date of death from any cause and will be analyzed in all patients and by tumor cohorts ((1) ACC, (2) Non-urothelial bladder/upper tract cancer and (3) other rare GU tumors)
Time frame: From start of treatment until date of death from any cause. (Average 24 months)
Safety and tolerability according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).
All adverse events recorded during the trial will be summarized for the safety population.The incidence of events that are new or worsening from the time of first dose of treatment will be summarized according to system organ class and/or preferred term, severity (based on CTCAE version 4), type of adverse event, and relation to study treatment.
Time frame: Throughout the course of the study, approximately 24 months after study entry.
