ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION
Standard and experimental therapies for patients with rare CNS tumors are scarce. Nivolumab (PD-1 inhibitor) is approved for several non-CNS cancers. This ongoing Phase II trial (NCT03173950) will determine the efficacy of nivolumab in adults with recurrence/progression of one of 11 selected rare primary CNS tumors. Efficacy is measured by Disease Control Rate (DCR; confirmed CR/PR or durable SD for ≥ 6 months) in 2 cohorts: heavily and non-heavily pretreated patients (heavily pretreated: ≥ 3 prior therapies; non-heavily pretreated: ≤ 2). We report efficacy and safety results of a preplanned interim analysis in the heavily pretreated cohort. METHODS
Eligibility includes recurrence/progression of an eligible tumor; age ≥ 18 years; tumor tissue availab
