CHMP Adopts Positive Opinion Recommending Approval of Opdivo in Combination with Cisplatin and Gemcitabine for the 1L Treatment of Adult Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
“For eligible patients with unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, platinum-based chemotherapy in the first-line setting has been the standard of care for decades but the durability of response to chemotherapy alone is poor and once a patient progresses, treatment options become increasingly limited,” said Dana Walker, vice president and Global Program Lead, Genitourinary Cancers, Bristol Myers Squibb. “New treatment options that may improve responses, delay disease progression, and offer survival benefit in the first-line setting are needed. With today’s CHMP positive opinion, we are one step closer to potentially providing eligible patients with unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma in the European Union with a new first-line treatment option.”
