Testing an Immunotherapy Anti-cancer Drug, Nivolumab, for Advanced Cancers in Patients With Autoimmune Disorders, AIM-NIVO
Is NCT03816345 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Sep 2026). This Phase 1 trial studies multiple treatments for autoimmune disease.
Treatment: Cabozantinib · Fluoropyrimidine · Ipilimumab · Nivolumab · Platinum Compound · Platinum Doublet — This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works alone and in combination with other treatments, such as ipilimumab, cabozantinib, platinum containing therapy, and fluoropyrimidine, in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib blocks certain proteins, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Cabozantinib is a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a type of angiogenesis inhibitor. Chemotherapy drugs, such as platinum containing therapies and fluoropyrimidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab alone and in combination with other treatments, including ipilimumab, cabozantinib, platinum containing therapy, or fluoropyrimidine, may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and advanced, metastatic, or unresectable cancer.

Is NCT03816345 currently recruiting?
Yes, this trial is currently recruiting patients.
Are there prior therapy exclusions?
Yes. Prior anti-PD-1 therapy, allogeneic hematologic transplant, ipilimumab disqualifies patients from enrollment.
Does this trial require MSI?
Yes, MSI high is a required biomarker for enrollment.
