Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Nivolumab →Cisplatin →5-Fluorouracil →Gemcitabine →RadiotherapyInterferon beta-1a →MRIPETPatient-Reported Outcomes

Nivolumab: Nivolumab during induction chemotherapy in all groups and during radiochemotherapy in patients with SD or PD after induction or metastases

Cisplatin: Cisplatin during induction chemotherapy and during radiochemotherapy in all groups

5-Fluorouracil: 5-Fluoruracil during induction chemotherapy in all groups except of adults \> 25 years with metastatic disease at diagnosis

Gemcitabine: Gemcitabine during induction chemotherapy in patients \> 25 years with metastatic disease at diagnosis

Radiotherapy: After induction therapy in all patients

Interferon beta-1a: In patients \< 26 years after end of radiochemotherapy for 6 months

MRI: At diagnosis and 17 to 22 days after the beginning of cycle 3 of induction therapy

PET: At diagnosis and 17 to 22 days after the beginning of cycle 3 of induction therapy, either as PET-CT or PET-MRI

Patient-Reported Outcomes: For all patients at baseline, before radiochemotherapy, at day 100, and 2 years after enrolment

Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the addition of the immune checkpoint inhibitor Nivolumab to induction chemotherapy will increase the percentage of patients with a complete response on MRI and PET after 3 cycles of induction therapy.
