The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

anti-CCR8 monoclonal antibody BMS-986340. A human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) nonfucosylated (NF) monoclonal antibody against C-C-chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, anti-CCR8 monoclonal antibody BMS-986340 targets, binds to and blocks the activity of CCR8 on CCR8-positive tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and prevents chemokine ligand 1 (CCL1)-CCR8-mediated signaling. BMS-986340 eliminates CCR8-positive Tregs via the induction of Fc-mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), thereby depleting CCR8-positive Tregs. This may reactivate antitumor immune responses. CCR8 is specifically expressed by tumor-infiltrating Tregs in multiple types of cancer and plays a key role in immunosuppression. High expression is correlated with poor prognosis. NCI Drug Dictionary

nivolumab. A fully human immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1, PCD-1) with immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, nivolumab binds to and blocks the activation of PD-1, an immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) transmembrane protein, by its ligands programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), which is overexpressed on certain cancer cells, and programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2), which is primarily expressed on antigen-presenting cells (APCs). This results in the activation of T cells and cell-mediated immune responses against tumor cells. Activated PD-1 negatively regulates T-cell activation and plays a key role in tumor evasion from host immunity. NCI Drug Dictionary

Na · Single Group · masking: None

Treatment (BMS-986340, nivolumab, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel) (Experimental)
