Nivolumab in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory solid tumours or lymphoma (ADVL1412): a multicentre, open-label, single-arm, phase 1-2 trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1 have shown clinical benefit in adults with cancer, but data on these drugs in children are scarce. We did a phase 1-2 study of nivolumab, a PD-1 blocking monoclonal antibody, to determine its safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumour activity in children and young adults with recurrent or refractory non-CNS solid tumours or lymphoma.

Methods

We did a multicentre, open-label, single-arm, dose-confirmation and dose-expansion, phase 1-2 trial in 23 hospitals in the USA. Eligible patients for part A (dose-confirmation phase) of the study were aged 1-18 years with solid tumours with measurable or evaluable disease (by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version 1.1) regardless of histology. Eligible patients
