Title: Randomized Phase II/III Study of Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab plus Sargramostim versus Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab in Patients with Unresectable Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma (EA6141)
Brief Title: A Phase II/III Trial of Nivolumab, Ipilimumab, and GM-CSF in Patients With Advanced Melanoma
Brief Summary: This phase II/III trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and ipilimumab when given
together with or without sargramostim and to see how well they work in treating patients
with stage III-IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) and that may
have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts
of the body (advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and
nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with
the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Colony-stimulating factors, such as
sargramostim, may increase the production of white blood cells. It is not yet known
whether nivolumab and ipilimumab are more effective with or without sargramostim in
treating patients with melanoma.
