About this trial
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of CBM588 in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with kidney cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). CBM588 is a live biotherapeutic that may help improve the effects of immunotherapy. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread by enhancing the ability of the body's immune cells to attack tumor cells. CBM588 in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with advanced stage kidney cancer.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Dose limiting toxicity (DLT)
Toxicities at least possibly related to study agent will be graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0.
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)
MTD estimate will be the highest dose with the occurrence of DLT in no more than 1 out of 6 of the patients.
Incidence of adverse events (AEs)
AEs will be graded using CTCAE. Summaries will be provided overall and by dose group. The number and percentage of subjects reporting treatment-emergent AEs (TEAE) will be summarized overall and by the worse CTCAE grade, with a breakdown by dose. The number and percentage of subjects reporting TEAEs considered related to each study drug will be summarized.
Secondary outcomes
Progression free survival (PFS)
PFS will be defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progressive disease or death, whichever occurs first. PFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The difference in PFS across dose levels will be explored using the log-rank test. Median PFS time for each dose level will be reported, and the Cox proportional hazard model will be used to estimate the hazard ratio and its confidence interval without adjustment for clinically relevant covariates.
Overall response rate (ORR)
Evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression or recurrence. ORR will be calculated as the number of patients with complete or partial response divided by the total number of treated/evaluable subjects. ORR will be summarized by dose levels, number, and percentage, along with corresponding exact 95% confidence interval. The association between dose level and overall response as per RECIST v1.1 criteria will be examined using Fisher's exact test.
Change in stool microbial diversity
The Shannon index will be computed from whole metagenome sequence data from stool samples to compare microbial diversity between baseline and 12 weeks and between the two study arms. The index takes into account the number of species (richness) and their relative abundance (evenness). A higher Shannon index indicates greater microbial diversity. The minimum value the Shannon diversity index can take is 0 (one species) and there is no upper limit to the index.
Change in abundancies of gut microbiome species
The taxonomic composition of the microbiome will be determined from whole metagenome sequencing of stool samples and the relative abundancies of species will be compared between baseline and 12 weeks and between the two study arms. The relative abundancies will vary from 0 to 1.
