Bristol Myers Squibb Receives European Commission Approval for Opdivo (nivolumab) with Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Treatment of Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer at High Risk of Recurrence in Patients with Tumor Cell PD-L1 Expression ≥1%

Published date:

Excerpt:
Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) today announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved Opdivo (nivolumab) in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for the neoadjuvant treatment of resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at high risk of recurrence in adult patients with tumor cell PD-L1 expression ≥1%....The EC’s decision is based on results from the Phase 3 CheckMate -816 trial, in which three cycles of Opdivo with chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in event-free survival (EFS) and pathologic complete response (pCR) compared to chemotherapy alone when administered before surgery.

PL03.12 - Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival in NADIM II Study

Published date:
07/12/2022
Excerpt:
In the experimental arm, PDL1 expression (≥1%) significantly identified patients with improve PFS (HR: 0.26; 95%CI: 0.08-0.77; P = 0.015). Pathological complete response (pCR) rate was 36.2% in the experimental arm versus 6.8% in the control arm (P = 0.007). None of the patients showing a pCR has progressed or deceased (P LogRank <0.001 and P LogRank= 0.013 for PFS and OS, respectively)....The efficacy of nivolumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with resectable stage IIIA NSCLC is supported by survival data. The benefit is especially observed in patients with tumors with positive PD-L1 expression and in those patients achieving pCR.

Abstract 775: Longitudinal investigation of PD-L1 expression on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with nivolumab

Published date:

Excerpt:
Progression free survival was significantly longer in the patients with 7% or more of PD-L1 positivity rates (n = 8) than in those with less than 7% (n = 8) (p < 0.01) at week 8, suggesting the predictive significance of early evaluation of PD-L1 expression on CTCs after nivolumab treatment.

RAD51Bme Levels as a Potential Predictive Biomarker for PD-1 Blockade Response in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Published date:
04/08/2020
Excerpt:
The median PFS was significantly higher in RAD51Bme+ patients (p = 0.0216; Figure 3A). Furthermore, patients with RAD51Bme+ disclosed a lower risk of disease progression (HR 0.37; 95% CI: 0.15–0.88; p = 0.025) compared with RAD51Bme-….PD-L1+ and RAD51Bme+ are promising biomarkers to predict response to PD-1 blockade rather than overall prognostic factors in NSCLC’s patients.

Differential Activity of Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab and MPDL3280A according to the Tumor Expression of Programmed Death-Ligand-1 (PD-L1): Sensitivity Analysis of Trials in Melanoma, Lung and Genitourinary Cancers

Excerpt:
Overall, the three antibodies provide a significant differential effect in terms of activity according to PD-L1 expression on tumor cells. The predictive value of PD-L1 on tumor cells seems to be more robust for anti-PD-1 antibody (nivolumab and pembrolizumab), and in the context of advanced melanoma and NSCLC.
