4-Year Outcomes from Ph 3 CheckMate -9LA Trial Show Durable, Long-Term Survival with Opdivo + Yervoy with 2 Cycles of Chemo for mNSCLC Patients
“The durable results seen with nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemotherapy over four years, especially in patients typically facing a poor prognosis, demonstrate the sustained benefits of combining dual immunotherapy with limited chemotherapy for patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, which remains an incredibly challenging disease to treat,” said David P. Carbone, M.D., Ph.D., CheckMate -9LA investigator and Director of the Thoracic Oncology Center at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute. “The data in patients with tumor PD-L1 expression <1% and squamous histology are particularly encouraging, as they show that the combination therapy continues to reduce the risk of death by approximately one-third compared to chemotherapy alone four years following treatment in patient groups historically facing the worst outcomes.”
