Perioperative Regimen of Neoadjuvant Opdivo and Chemotherapy Followed by Adjuvant Opdivo Significantly Improves EFS in Patients with Resectable NSCLC
“We’ve seen tremendous scientific advancements in the treatment of non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer in recent years, and remain committed to researching new solutions that may help even more patients achieve better long-term outcomes,” said Abderrahim Oukessou, M.D., vice president, thoracic cancers global program lead, Bristol Myers Squibb. “Taken together with the data from our CheckMate -816 trial – which led to Opdivo being the only anti-PD-1 with an approval in the neoadjuvant setting – today’s results reinforce our leadership in resectable non-small cell lung cancer and add to our legacy of transformational science in thoracic cancers. We thank the patients and investigators involved in the trial who have allowed us to advance our understanding of the importance of immunotherapy in treating patients’ cancer in earlier stages.”
