Investigating the Combination of Bexmarilimab and Nivolumab in Solid Tumours, Melanoma and NSCLC

Is NCT07718243 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Sep 2026). This Phase 1/2 trial studies multiple treatments including Bexmarilimab 1mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg and Bexmarilimab 3mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg for melanoma (skin cancer).

Treatment: Bexmarilimab 1mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg · Bexmarilimab 3mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg · Recommended Phase II DoseThe trial will test if the combination of bexmarilimab and nivolumab can help patients whose cancers have stopped responding to immunotherapy treatment. It will focus on two cancers: non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma. Early research suggests bexmarilimab may change some immune cells inside the tumour so they create a stronger "attack" signal, which could help other immune cells recognise and kill cancer cells more effectively. This may make it easier for PD-1 immunotherapy drugs to work again by helping the immune system stay active against the tumour. This is a Phase I/II clinical trial. In Phase I, researchers will give increasing doses of bexmarilimab together with a standard (fixed) dose of nivolumab to patients with solid tumours, to find the safest and most suitable dose to use going forward (the recommended Phase 2 dose). In Phase II, the study will treat two groups of patients-one with non-small cell lung cancer and one with melanoma-using that selected dose.
