Clinical Program Title Description
Urological Oncology Program Phase III Randomized Trial of Standard Systemic Therapy (SST) Versus Standard Systemic Therapy Plus Definitive Treatment (Surgery or Radiation) of the Primary Tumor in Metastatic Prostate Cancer)

Primary objective:
To compare overall survival in metastatic prostate cancer patients who are randomized to standard systemic therapy (SST) plus definitive treatment of the primary tumor versus standard systemic therapy alone.

Secondary objectives:

  1. To compare overall survival in metastatic prostate cancer patients who received SST plus surgical excision of the primary tumor versus SST alone in the subset who specify the surgical intent stratification factor.
  2. To compare the rate of symptomatic local progression between the treatment arms.
  3. To compare progression-free survival (PFS) between the two treatment arms.
  4. To compare rates of progression-free survival between arms for the subsets of patients with and without metastasis directed therapy (MDT) to oligometastatic sites.

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. All patients must have a histologically or cytologically proven

Urological Oncology Program Immunotherapy With Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Followed by Nivolumab or Nivolumab With Cabozantinib for Patients With Advanced Kidney Cancer, The PDIGREE Study

Primary objective:
To compare the overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic RCC treated with ipilimumabnivolumab followed by either nivolumab versus cabozantinib-nivolumab.

Secondary objectives:

  • To determine PFS of patients treated with nivolumab versus nivolumab-cabozantinib
  • To evaluate the 12-month complete response rate in patients treated with ipilimumabnivolumab followed by cabozantinib-nivolumab versus ipilimumab-nivolumab followed by nivolumab (patients who have CR and relapse before 12 months will not be counted as a CR at 12-months)
  • To evaluate the rates of discontinuing therapy at 1 year
  • To compare objective response rates (ORR, assessed by RECIST 1.1 and irRECIST criteria) for patients treated with ipilimumab-nivolumab followed by cabozantinib-nivolumab versus ipilimumab-nivolumab followed by nivolumab.
  • To document the adverse event profile of ipilimumab-nivolumab
