We would like to thank the patients and investigators who participated in the trial and contributed to our collective scientific understanding.” “With the positive results from CheckMate -274, Opdivo has now demonstrated improved efficacy in the adjuvant treatment of three tumor types, including bladder cancer, melanoma and esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancer, as part of our broad development program across earlier stages of cancer. “As we advance the science of immunotherapy, we’re discovering that these treatments may play an important role in earlier stages of cancer, when the immune system is generally more intact and potentially more responsive,” said Mark Rutstein, Vice President, Opdivo Development, Bristol Myers Squibb. The positive results from CheckMate -274 point to the potential for nivolumab to become a new standard of care in the adjuvant setting, extending disease-free survival for post-surgery patients with muscle-invasive urothelial cancer without the use of chemotherapy.” “Advances like immunotherapy have helped bring hope to patients across a growing number of cancer types, including previously treated advanced urothelial carcinoma. “With currently available therapies, more than 50% of patients with bladder cancer will experience recurrence after surgery, and each year, the disease takes the lives of nearly 200,000 patients,” said Matthew Galsky, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Director of Genitourinary Medical Oncology, Director of the Novel Therapeutics Unit, and Co-Director of the Center of Excellence for Bladder Cancer at The Tisch Cancer Institute and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

The safety profile of Opdivo was consistent with previously reported studies in solid tumors. CheckMate -274 is the first and only Phase 3 trial in which immunotherapy has reduced the risk of relapse in the adjuvant setting for these patients. Opdivo has now demonstrated clinically meaningful efficacy in the adjuvant treatment of three tumor types, including bladder cancer, melanoma and esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancerīristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) today announced that CheckMate -274, a pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating Opdivo (nivolumab) after surgery in patients with high-risk, muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma, met its primary endpoints of improving disease-free survival (DFS) versus placebo in both all randomized patients and in patients whose tumor cells express PD-L1 ≥1% (programmed death-ligand 1). In an interim analysis, CheckMate -274 met primary endpoints of disease-free survival in both all randomized patients and in patients whose tumor cells express PD-L1 ≥1%
