IV Opdivo Approved in Taiwan in Combination with Cisplatin & Gemcitabine for the 1L Treatment of Adult Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
“This approval is based on results from the Phase 3 CheckMate -901 study (CA209-901: ONO-4538-56), evaluating Opdivo in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine followed by Opdivo monotherapy, compared to cisplatin-gemcitabine alone, in patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). In this study, Opdivo in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine followed by Opdivo monotherapy demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in the primary efficacy endpoints of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR), compared to chemotherapy alone. The safety profile of the regimens in this study was consistent with the known safety profiles of the individual components of the regimen. No new safety concerns were identified.”
