Full Title
A Phase I Dose Escalation and Cohort Expansion Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Anti-KIR (BMS-986015) Administered in Combination with Anti-PD-1 (BMS-936558) in Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug BMS-986015 that can be given safely with another investigational drug, BMS-936558, in patients with advanced solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard therapies.
BMS-936558 works by attaching to and blocking a molecule called PD-1. BMS-986015 attaches to and blocks a group of molecules called KIR. PD-1 and KIR are proteins present mainly on immune system cells, and each controls part of the immune system by shutting it down. It is hoped that by binding to and inactivating these proteins, this drug combination can enhance the body’s ability to detect and destroy cancer cells.

- Patients may not have had prior treatment with drugs that block PD-1 or KIR.
- Patients must be physically well enough that they are fully ambulatory, capable of all self care, and are capable of all but physically strenuous activities. As an example, patients must be well enough that they would be able to carry out office work or light housework.
