Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Nivolumab C1 and C2 1.5mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks
After cycle 2 (but pre-cycle 3), perform interim response assessment, and determine subsequent dosing as follows:
If CR or PR and less than or equal to grade 1 acute GVHD or less than or equal to mild chronic GVHD, continue 1.5mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks for remainder of dosing for up to 48 weeks.
If SD or no response and no GVHD, increase future doses to 3mg/kg intravenously for up to 48 weeks
If SD or no response and grade 1 acute GVHD or mild chronic GVHD, continue 1.5mg/kg intravenously for up to 48 weeks
If grade 2 or greater acute GVHD or moderate/severe chronic GVHD, discontinue nivolumab

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 301623 0
The primary outcome is the safety of nivolumab post-allogeneic transplant, as measured by the cumulative incidence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease. Established criteria for acute (Glucksberg criteria) and chronic (NIH consensus criteria) will be used to assess the severity of GVHD.
Timepoint [1] 301623 0
2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 48 weeks after the first dose of nivolumab
Secondary outcome [1] 333327 0
Tumour response to nivolumab therapy using various established response criteria specific to the relevant primary haematological malignancy
Timepoint [1] 333327 0
8, 16, 24, 48 weeks after first dose of nivolumab
