About this trial
This trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of nivolumab monotherapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic olfactory neuroblastoma that is difficult to treat with curative intent. Specifically, nivolumab 240 mg will be administered on Day 1 and Day 15 of each cycle, or nivolumab 480 mg will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle, and this will be continued until disease progression. One cycle is 28 days. The decision on which treatment to administer will be made through consultation between the participant in this trial and their attending physician.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Written informed consent obtained.
Age ≥ 18 years.
Histologically confirmed olfactory neuroblastoma.
Not eligible for curative local therapy (surgery/radiation).
Disqualifiers
Active progressive multiple primary cancers (synchronous multiple cancers and metachronous multiple cancers with a disease-free interval of 5 years or less. However, lesions equivalent to carcinoma in situ or mucosal cancer that are considered curable by local treatment are not included as multiple primary cancers. Additionally, this may not apply if the attending physician determines that early-stage cancer will not be a prognostic factor.).
Has a systemic infection that requires treatment.
It has been determined that one is infected with HIV or AIDS-related diseases.
Having an active autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Objective Response Rate
Based on the judgment by the Investigator or Sub-investigator, according to the Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) guideline version 1.1. The proportion of participants who complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) will be confirmed for overall response according to RECIST version 1.1.
Secondary outcomes
Duration of Response
The period from when CR or PR was first confirmed in the overall effect, according to the RECIST version. 1.1, to the earlier date when progression (PD based on imaging diagnosis) was determined or the date of death due to any cause.
Best Overall Response
The best overall response (BOR) is determined based on RECIST ver. 1.1, recorded from the start of protocol treatment. The determination of CR (Complete Response) and PR (Partial Response) shall be confirmed by the subsequent evaluation conducted at least 4 weeks after the criteria are first met.
Clinical Benefit Rate
The proportion of participants who achieved a best overall response of CR or PR according to RECIST version 1.1, or who maintained SD for 24 weeks or longer.
Clinical Benefit Duration
This is for participants who achieved the best overall response of CR or PR according to the RECIST version. 1.1, or who maintained SD for 24 weeks or longer, the period from the date of official registration (treatment initiation date) to the earliest date of determined disease progression, date of death due to any cause, or the end date of the clinical trial period.
