Opdivo + Chemo Shows OS & PFS Benefit for Cisplatin-Eligible Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma in the Phase 3 CheckMate -901 Trial

“Today’s news is yet another example of the power of immunotherapy combinations to transform outcomes for patients with cancer. Opdivo with cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the first immunotherapy-based combination to improve both overall survival and progression-free survivalin patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who are eligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy, reinforcing the benefits of Opdivo-based treatments seen across a variety of genitourinary cancers, including durable survival in advanced renal cell carcinoma and a reduced risk of recurrence in resectable muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma,” said Dana Walker, M.D., M.S.C.E., vice president, global program lead, genitourinary cancers, Bristol Myers Squibb. “We are encouraged by these positive results and remain steadfast in our commitment to bringing new solutions to patients with high unmet needs. We thank the patients, investigators and all site personnel involved in the CheckMate -901 trial.”
