PL02.3.A NRG ONCOLOGY STUDY BN007: RANDOMIZED PHASE II/III TRIAL OF IPILIMIUMAB (IPI) PLUS NIVOLUMAB (NIVO) VS. TEMOZOLOMIDE (TMZ) IN MGMT-UNMETHYLATED (UMGMT) NEWLY DIAGNOSED GLIOBLASTOMA (NGBM)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND New therapies are especially needed for uMGMT nGBM. NRG Oncology BN002 (phase I) demonstrated safety and preliminary efficacy of Ipi+Nivo for nGBM, leading to BN007 as phase II/III. METHODS Adults with uMGMT nGBM (WHO 2016) and KPS ≥ 70 were randomized to RT and concurrent and adjuvant Ipi+Nivo or TMZ, stratified by glioma-recursive partitioning analysis class (RPA), intent to use tumor-treating fields (NCT04396860). Phase II primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), powered 95% to detect a hazard ratio (HR) ≤0.58 with 1-sided 0.15 significance after 100 events. If p<0.15, then phase III would accrue with overall survival (OS) as primary endpoint. Corticosteroids were disallowed at Ipi+Nivo start. Histology, biomarkers, and PFS were assessed centrally. RESULTS Among 374 patients screened, 159 were randomized in phase II (79 Ipi+Nivo, 80 TMZ). Demographics (age median 60 years, range 28-79; male 66%, white 88%, not Hispanic/Latino 89%), KPS (90-100 61%), extent of resection (gross total 65% per local PI), and RPA (III 10%, IV 73%, V 17%) were well-balanced between arms. After 100 PFS events, the pre-planned phase II analysis demonstrated no improvement for Ipi+Nivo vs. TMZ [median 7.7 (95% CI: 6.5, 8.5) vs. 8.5 (95% CI: 7.1, 10.4) months; HR 1.47 (95% CI: 0.98-2.2); 1-sided p=0.96]. OS is immature (>50% alive, 13.7 months median follow-up) but without observed difference between arms [median ~13 months each; HR 0.95 (95% CI: 0.61-1.49); 1-sided p=0.36]. On the Ipi+Nivo arm, treatment-related grade 3, 4, and 5 events were reported in 26 (33.3%), 4 (5.1%), and 2 (2.6%; colitis and autoimmune disorder, n=1 each) patients. CONCLUSION Ipi+Nivo did not improve PFS for uMGMT nGBM. Accrual permanently closed after phase II. No new safety signals were identified. Molecular analyses and survival follow-up are ongoing.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
