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:
06/29/2023
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.

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.

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.
