Brief Summary
This phase II trial tests the safety and effectiveness of giving ipilimumab and nivolumab in the morning compared to other times of day in treating patients with melanoma that is stage IV or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to...Show More
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) following administration of immunotherapy at different time-of-day intervals for previously untreated unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare adverse events (AEs). II. Rate of receiving all immunotherapy doses as scheduled. III. Objective response rate. IV. Melanoma specific survival (MSS) and overall survival (OS...

ExperimentalArm I (nivolumab, ipilimumab)
Patients receive nivolumab IV over 60 minutes and ipilimumab IV over 90 minutes at 0800-1100 on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive maintenance nivolumab for up to a total of 2 years. Patients wear an actigraphy device for 5-7 days at enrollment prior to first infusion and for up to 4 weeks then over 3 week...Show More

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) A versus (vs.) C and B vs. C
Will be determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Will be compared between arms with a log rank test. The hazard ratio and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for the A vs. C and B vs. C comparisons will be estimated in a Cox proportional hazards model using the randomized arm as a single covariate. The PFS curves for each randomized arm will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method. In addition, PFS rates at specific time points will be estimated using KM estimates on the PFS curve for each randomized arm. Associated 2-sided 95% CIs will be calculated using the Greenwood formula (using log-log transformation).
From randomization to progression or death, assessed up to 5 years
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Incidence of Treatment-Related Adverse Events (AE)
Will be determined according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5. Frequencies and percentages will be used to summarize safety events. All treatment-associated AE event rates, as well as treatment-associated grade 3 or higher AE event rates will be reported. Event rates will be compared between arms using a Chi-square test. Differences in event rates will be reported, and 95% CIs will be estimated.
Up to 100 days after last dose of study treatment
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Will be defined as complete response and/or partial response assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Will be estimated as a proportion, with an exact 95% CI estimated using the Clopper-Pearson method. ORR will be compared between arms using a Chi-square test.
Up to 3 months
Overall Survival (OS)
Will be compared between arms with a log rank test. The hazard ratio and the corresponding 95% CIs for the A vs. C and B vs. C comparisons will be estimated in a Cox proportional hazards model using the randomized arm as a single covariate. The OS curves for each randomized arm will be estimated using the KM method. In addition, OS rates at specific time points will be estimated using KM estimates on the OS curve for each randomized arm. Associated 2-sided 95% CIs will be calculated using the Greenwood formula (using log-log transformation).
From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
PFS A vs. B
Will be determined using RECIST 1.1. PFS will be compared between arms with a log rank test. The hazard ratio and the corresponding 95% CI for the A vs. B comparison will be estimated in a Cox proportional hazards model using the randomized arm as a single covariate. The PFS curves for each randomized arm will be estimated using the KM method. In addition, PFS rates at specific time points will be estimated using KM estimates on the PFS curve for each randomized arm. Associated 2-sided 95% CIs will be calculated using the Greenwood formula (using log-log transformation).
From randomization to progression or death, assessed up to 5 years
Disease Specific Survival
To explore immune biomarkers associated with clinical efficacy from the pre-treatment and post-treatment melanoma biopsy specimens and peripheral blood.
Up to 5 years
Rate of Receiving all Immunotherapy Doses as Scheduled
To compare rate of receiving all immunotherapy doses as scheduled, of subjects with previously untreated unresectable or metasatic melanoma who receive immunotherapy infusions at different time-of-day intervals, and impact of quality of life on timing of infusion.
Up to 4 cycles (cycle length = 3 weeks)
