Intravenous and Intrathecal Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Leptomeningeal Disease (NCT03025256)
Phase I/Ib Study of Concurrent Intravenous and Intrathecal Nivolumab for Melanoma and Lung Cancer Patients With Leptomeningeal Disease (LMD)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of intrathecal nivolumab, and how well it works in combination with intravenous nivolumab in treating patients with leptomeningeal disease. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
