Adjuvant Opdivo Continues to Provide Significant, Durable Clinical Benefits for Patients with Radically Resected, High-Risk MIBC After 3 Yrs in CheckMate -274 Trial
“Patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma face a high chance of recurrence due to micrometastatic disease, especially within the first three years after surgical removal of the bladder or kidney. The three-year results from CheckMate -274 show a stable decrease in the risk of disease with adjuvant nivolumab with longer follow-up,” said Matthew D. Galsky,* M.D., Professor of Medicine, Director of Genitourinary Medical Oncology, Associate Director for Translational Research, 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. “Nivolumab remains the only immunotherapy, as well as the only medical treatment in general, to decrease the risk of urothelial cancer recurrence after radical surgery in patients who received chemotherapy prior to surgery or who are ineligible for chemotherapy. The results of this trial have changed the way that urothelial cancer is treated.”
