FAILED TRIAL: Ph 3 RELATIVITY-098 trial of Opdualag™ (nivolumab and relatlimab-rmbw) in adjuvant, stage III-IV melanoma did not meet its primary endpoint of RFS

“We are disappointed in the outcome of the RELATIVITY-098 trial and that LAG-3 inhibition in the adjuvant setting did not lead to the same improved efficacy outcomes seen in advanced melanoma,” said Jeffrey Walch, M.D., Ph.D., vice president, Opdualag global program lead, Bristol Myers Squibb. “Patients whose tumors are completely resected before treatment may not have sufficient antitumor T cells in place for Opdualag to have its maximal effect. However, Opdualag remains a standard of care in the first-line treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma, and we continue to explore its potential across tumor types, including in non-small cell lung cancer.”
