A Multi-Institutional Phase 2 Study of Nivolumab or Nivolumab in Combination With Ipilimumab in Refractory Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Anal Canal

National Cancer Institute (NCI)·interventional·Posted Dec 11, 2014·Updated Jun 17, 2026

In Brief

A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Biospecimen Collection, Computed Tomography, and 3 other interventions for Anal Canal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and 2 related conditions. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 143 participants across 56 sites in 2 countries.

Detailed Summary

This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with or without ipilimumab works in treating patients with anal canal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Arms & Interventions

Part A (nivolumab)experimental

Patients receive nivolumab IV over 60 minutes once every two weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT scan, MRI and blood sample collection throughout the study.

Procedure: Biospecimen CollectionProcedure: Computed TomographyProcedure: Magnetic Resonance ImagingBiological: Nivolumab
Part B Arm I (nivolumab)experimental

Patients receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes once every 4 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT scan, MRI and blood sample collection throughout the study.

Procedure: Biospecimen CollectionProcedure: Computed TomographyProcedure: Magnetic Resonance ImagingBiological: Nivolumab
Part B Arm II (nivolumab, ipilimumab)experimental

Patients receive nivolumab as in Arm I. Patients also receive ipilimumab IV over 30 minutes once every 8 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT scan, MRI and blood sample collection throughout the study.
