Trial Outcomes & Findings for Nivolumab for Relapsed, Refractory, or Detectable Disease Post Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Treatment in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies (NCT NCT04205409)

NCT ID: NCT04205409

Last Updated: 2026-05-12

Results Overview

Assessed by disease-specific guidelines: multiple myeloma - International Myeloma Working Group response criteria, non-Hodgkin lymphoma - Response assessment will be based on the Lugano Criteria, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia - Response assessment based on the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) Criteria. ORR will be estimated, and its corresponding 95% exact binomial confidence interval (CI) will be provided.
