Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.The data in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to OPDIVO as single agent in 1994 patients enrolled in CHECKMATE-037, CHECKMATE-017, CHECKMATE-057, CHECKMATE-066, CHECKMATE-025, CHECKMATE-067, CHECKMATE-205, CHECKMATE-039 or single-arm trial in NSCLC (n=117); OPDIVO mg/kg with ipilimumab mg/kg in patients enrolled in CHECKMATE-067 (n=313), CHECKMATE-040 (n=49), or another randomized trial (n=94); OPDIVO mg/kg administered with ipilimumab mg/kg (n=666) in patients enrolled in CHECKMATE-214 or CHECKMATE-142; OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks in patients enrolled in CHECKMATE-227 (n=576) or CHECKMATE-743 (n=300); OPDIVO 360 mg with ipilimumab mg/kg and cycles of platinum-doublet chemotherapy in CHECKMATE-9LA (n=361); and OPDIVO 240 mg with cabozantinib 40 mg in patients enrolled in CHECKMATE-9ER (n=320).. Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma Previously Treated Metastatic MelanomaThe safety of OPDIVO was evaluated in CHECKMATE-037, randomized, open-label trial in 370 patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Patients had documented disease progression following treatment with ipilimumab and, if BRAF V600 mutation positive, BRAF inhibitor. The trial excluded patients with autoimmune disease, prior ipilimumab-related Grade adverse reactions (except for endocrinopathies) or Grade ipilimumab-related adverse reactions that had not resolved or were inadequately controlled within 12 weeks of the initiating event, patients with condition requiring chronic systemic treatment with corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications, positive test for hepatitis or C, and history of HIV. Patients received OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every weeks (n=268) or investigators choice of chemotherapy (n=102): dacarbazine 1000 mg/m2 intravenously every weeks or carboplatin AUC mg/mL/min and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 intravenously every weeks. The median duration of exposure was 5.3 months (range: day to 13.8+ months) in OPDIVO-treated patients and was months (range: day to 9.6+ months) in chemotherapy-treated patients. In this ongoing trial, 24% of patients received OPDIVO for >6 months and 3% of patients received OPDIVO for >1 year.The population characteristics in the OPDIVO group and the chemotherapy group were similar: 66% male, median age 59.5 years, 98% White, baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (59%) or (41%), 74% with M1c stage disease, 73% with cutaneous melanoma, 11% with mucosal melanoma, 73% received two or more prior therapies for advanced or metastatic disease, and 18% had brain metastasis. There were more patients in the OPDIVO group with elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) at baseline (51% vs. 38%).Serious adverse reactions occurred in 41% of patients receiving OPDIVO. OPDIVO was discontinued for adverse reactions in 9% of patients. Twenty-six percent of patients receiving OPDIVO had dose interruption for an adverse reaction. Grade and adverse reactions occurred in 42% of patients receiving OPDIVO. The most frequent Grade and adverse reactions reported in 2% to <5% of patients receiving OPDIVO were abdominal pain, hyponatremia, increased aspartate aminotransferase, and increased lipase. The most common adverse reaction (reported in >=20% of patients) was rash.Tables and summarize the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in CHECKMATE-037.Table 5: Adverse Reactions Occurring in >=10% of OPDIVO-Treated Patients and at Higher Incidence than in the Chemotherapy Arm (Between Arm Difference of >=5% All Grades or >=2% Grades 3-4) CHECKMATE-037Toxicity was graded per NCI CTCAE v4.

The trial excluded patients with autoimmune disease and patients requiring chronic systemic treatment with corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications. Patients received OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every weeks (n=206) or dacarbazine 1000 mg/m2 intravenously every weeks (n=205). The median duration of exposure was 6.5 months (range: day to 16.6 months) in OPDIVO-treated patients. In this trial, 47% of patients received OPDIVO for >6 months and 12% of patients received OPDIVO for >1 year.The trial population characteristics in the OPDIVO group and dacarbazine group: 59% male, median age 65 years, 99.5% White, 61% with M1c stage disease, 74% with cutaneous melanoma, 11% with mucosal melanoma, 4% with brain metastasis, and 37% with elevated LDH at baseline. There were more patients in the OPDIVO group with ECOG performance status (71% vs. 59%).Serious adverse reactions occurred in 36% of patients receiving OPDIVO. Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of OPDIVO in 7% of patients and dose interruption in 26% of patients; no single type of adverse reaction accounted for the majority of OPDIVO discontinuations. Grade and adverse reactions occurred in 41% of patients receiving OPDIVO. The most frequent Grade and adverse reactions reported in >=2% of patients receiving OPDIVO were increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (3.9%) and diarrhea (3.4%).

Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. The safety of OPDIVO was evaluated in ATTRACTION-3, randomized, active-controlled, open-label, multicenter trial in 209 patients with unresectable advanced, recurrent or metastatic ESCC refractory or intolerant to at least one fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-based chemotherapy [see Clinical Studies (14.11)]. The trial excluded patients who were refractory or intolerant to taxane therapy, had brain metastases that were symptomatic or required treatment, had autoimmune disease, used systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants, had apparent tumor invasion of organs adjacent to the esophageal tumor or had stents in the esophagus or respiratory tract. Patients received OPDIVO 240 mg by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every weeks (n=209) or investigators choice: docetaxel 75 mg/m2 intravenously every weeks (n=65) or paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 intravenously once week for weeks followed by week off (n=143). Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of exposure was 2.6 months (range: to 29.2 months) in OPDIVO-treated patients and 2.6 months (range: to 21.4 months) in docetaxel- or paclitaxel-treated patients. Among patients who received OPDIVO, 26% were exposed for >6 months and 10% were exposed for >1 year.Serious adverse reactions occurred in 38% of patients receiving OPDIVO. Serious adverse reactions reported in >=2% of patients who received OPDIVO were pneumonia, esophageal fistula, interstitial lung disease and pyrexia. The following fatal adverse reactions occurred in patients who received OPDIVO: interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis (1.4%), pneumonia (1.0%), septic shock (0.5%), esophageal fistula (0.5%), gastrointestinal hemorrhage (0.5%), pulmonary embolism (0.5%), and sudden death (0.5%).OPDIVO was discontinued in 13% of patients and was delayed in 27% of patients for an adverse reaction.Tables 39 and 40 summarize the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in ATTRACTION-3.Table 39: Adverse Reactions Occurring in >=10% of Patients Receiving OPDIVO ATTRACTION-3Toxicity was graded per NCI CTCAE v4.

Gastric Cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma. The safety of OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy was evaluated in CHECKMATE-649, randomized, multicenter, open-label trial in patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, and esophageal adenocarcinoma [see Clinical Studies (14.12)]. The trial excluded patients who were known human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) positive, or had untreated CNS metastases. Patients were randomized to receive OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy or chemotherapy. Patients received one of the following treatments:oOPDIVO 240 mg in combination with mFOLFOX6 (fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin) every weeks or mFOLFOX6 every weeks.oOPDIVO 360 mg in combination with CapeOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) every weeks or CapeOX every weeks.Patients were treated with OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy or chemotherapy until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to years. The median duration of exposure was 6.8 months (range: to 33.5 months) in OPDIVO and chemotherapy-treated patients. Among patients who received OPDIVO and chemotherapy, 54% were exposed for >6 months and 28% were exposed for >1 year.Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 16 (2.0%) patients who were treated with OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy; these included pneumonitis (4 patients), febrile neutropenia (2 patients), stroke (2 patients), gastrointestinal toxicity, intestinal mucositis, septic shock, pneumonia, infection, gastrointestinal bleeding, mesenteric vessel thrombosis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 52% of patients treated with OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy. OPDIVO and/or chemotherapy were discontinued in 44% of patients and at least one dose was withheld in 76% of patients due to an adverse reaction.The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in >=2% of patients treated with OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy were vomiting (3.7%), pneumonia (3.6%), anemia (3.6%), pyrexia (2.8%), diarrhea (2.7%), febrile neutropenia (2.6%), and pneumonitis (2.4%). The most common adverse reactions reported in >=20% of patients treated with OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy were peripheral neuropathy, nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, abdominal pain, constipation, and musculoskeletal pain.Tables 41 and 42 summarize the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in CHECKMATE-649.Table 41: Adverse Reactions in >=10% of Patients Receiving OPDIVO and Chemotherapy CHECKMATE-649Toxicity was graded per NCI CTCAE v4.

As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of incidence of antibodies to OPDIVO with the incidences of antibodies to other products may be misleading.Of the 2085 patients who were treated with OPDIVO as single agent at dose of mg/kg every weeks and evaluable for the presence of anti-nivolumab antibodies, 11% tested positive for treatment-emergent anti-nivolumab antibodies by an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) assay and 0.7% had neutralizing antibodies against nivolumab. There was no evidence of altered pharmacokinetic profile or increased incidence of infusion-related reactions with anti-nivolumab antibody development.Of the patients with melanoma, advanced renal cell carcinoma, metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer, and malignant pleural mesothelioma who were treated with OPDIVO and ipilimumab and evaluable for the presence of anti-nivolumab antibodies, the incidence of anti-nivolumab antibodies was 26% (132/516) with OPDIVO mg/kg followed by ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks, 36.7% (180/491) and 25.7% (69/269) with OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks and ipilimumab mg every weeks in non-small cell lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma patients, respectively, and 38% (149/394) with OPDIVO mg/kg followed by ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks. The incidence of neutralizing antibodies against nivolumab was 0.8% (4/516) with OPDIVO mg/kg followed by ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks, 1.4% (7/491) and 0.7% (2/269) with OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks and ipilimumab mg every weeks in non-small cell lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma patients, respectively, and 4.6% (18/394) with OPDIVO mg/kg followed by ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks.Of the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were treated with OPDIVO and ipilimumab every weeks for doses followed by OPDIVO every weeks and were evaluable for the presence of anti-nivolumab antibodies, the incidence of anti-nivolumab antibodies was 45% (20/44) with OPDIVO mg/kg followed by ipilimumab mg/kg and 56% (27/48) with OPDIVO mg/kg followed by ipilimumab mg/kg; the corresponding incidence of neutralizing antibodies against nivolumab was 14% (6/44) and 23% (11/48), respectively.Of the patients with NSCLC who were treated with OPDIVO 360 mg every weeks in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks and platinum-doublet chemotherapy, and were evaluable for the presence of anti-nivolumab antibodies, the incidence of anti-nivolumab antibodies was 34% (104/308); the incidence of neutralizing antibodies against nivolumab was 2.6% (8/308).There was no evidence of increased incidence of infusion-related reactions with anti-nivolumab antibody development.. 6.3 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of OPDIVO. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure.Eye: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndromeComplications of OPDIVO Treatment After Allogeneic HSCT: Treatment refractory, severe acute and chronic GVHDBlood and lymphatic system disorders: hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) (including fatal cases), autoimmune hemolytic anemia (including fatal cases).

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1 Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma Previously Treated Metastatic Melanoma CHECKMATE-037 (NCT01721746) was multicenter, open-label trial that randomized (2:1) patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma to receive OPDIVO mg/kg intravenously every weeks or investigators choice of chemotherapy, either single-agent dacarbazine 1000 mg/m2 every weeks or the combination of carboplatin AUC intravenously every weeks and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 intravenously every weeks. Patients were required to have progression of disease on or following ipilimumab treatment and, if BRAF V600 mutation positive, BRAF inhibitor. The trial excluded patients with autoimmune disease, medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression, ocular melanoma, active brain metastasis, or history of Grade ipilimumab-related adverse reactions (except for endocrinopathies) or Grade ipilimumab-related adverse reactions that had not resolved or were inadequately controlled within 12 weeks of the initiating event. Tumor assessments were conducted weeks after randomization then every weeks for the first year, and every 12 weeks thereafter.Efficacy was evaluated in single-arm, non-comparative, planned interim analysis of the first 120 patients who received OPDIVO in CHECKMATE-037 and in whom the minimum duration of follow-up was months. The major efficacy outcome measures in this population were confirmed overall response rate (ORR) as measured by blinded independent central review using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) and duration of response.Among the 120 patients treated with OPDIVO, the median age was 58 years (range: 25 to 88), 65% of patients were male, 98% were White, and the ECOG performance score was (58%) or (42%). Disease characteristics were M1c disease (76%), BRAF V600 mutation positive (22%), elevated LDH (56%), history of brain metastases (18%), and two or more prior systemic therapies for metastatic disease (68%).The ORR was 32% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 23, 41), consisting of complete responses and 34 partial responses in OPDIVO-treated patients. Of 38 patients with responses, 87% had ongoing responses with durations ranging from 2.6+ to 10+ months, which included 13 patients with ongoing responses of months or longer.There were responses in patients with and without BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma. total of 405 patients were randomized and the median duration of OS was 15.7 months (95% CI: 12.9, 19.9) in OPDIVO-treated patients compared to 14.4 months (95% CI: 11.7, 18.2) (HR 0.95; 95.54% CI: 0.73, 1.24) in patients assigned to investigators choice of treatment. Figure summarizes the OS results.Figure 1: Overall Survival CHECKMATE-037 The primary OS analysis was not adjusted to account for subsequent therapies, with 54 (40.6%) patients in the chemotherapy arm subsequently receiving an anti-PD1 treatment. OS may be confounded by dropout, imbalance of subsequent therapies, and differences in baseline factors.. opdivo-os-checkmate-037. Previously Untreated Metastatic Melanoma CHECKMATE-066 CHECKMATE-066 (NCT01721772) was multicenter, double-blind, randomized (1:1) trial in 418 patients with BRAF V600 wild-type unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Patients were randomized to receive either OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion every weeks or dacarbazine 1000 mg/m2 intravenously every weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Randomization was stratified by PD-L1 status (>=5% of tumor cell membrane staining by immunohistochemistry vs. <5% or indeterminate result) and stage (M0/M1a/M1b versus M1c). Key eligibility criteria included histologically confirmed, unresectable or metastatic, cutaneous, mucosal, or acral melanoma; no prior therapy for metastatic disease; completion of prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy at least weeks prior to randomization; ECOG performance status or 1; absence of autoimmune disease; and absence of active brain or leptomeningeal metastases. The trial excluded patients with ocular melanoma. Tumor assessments were conducted weeks after randomization then every weeks for the first year and then every 12 weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS). Additional outcome measures included investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and ORR per RECIST v1.1.The trial population characteristics were: median age was 65 years (range: 18 to 87), 59% were male, and 99.5% were White. Disease characteristics were M1c stage disease (61%), cutaneous melanoma (74%), mucosal melanoma (11%), elevated LDH level (37%), PD-L1 >=5% tumor cell membrane expression (35%), and history of brain metastasis (4%). More patients in the OPDIVO arm had an ECOG performance status of (71% vs. 58%).CHECKMATE-066 demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS for the OPDIVO arm compared with the dacarbazine arm in an interim analysis based on 47% of the total planned events for OS. At the time of analysis, 88% (63/72) of OPDIVO-treated patients had ongoing responses, which included 43 patients with ongoing response of months or longer. Efficacy results are shown in Table 43 and Figure 2.Table 43: Efficacy Results CHECKMATE-066a Not Reached Based on stratified proportional hazards model.

CHECKMATE-067 CHECKMATE-067 (NCT01844505) was multicenter, randomized (1:1:1), double-blind trial in 945 patients with previously untreated, unresectable or metastatic melanoma to one of the following arms: OPDIVO and ipilimumab, OPDIVO, or ipilimumab. Patients were required to have completed adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment at least weeks prior to randomization and have no prior treatment with anti-CTLA-4 antibody and no evidence of active brain metastasis, ocular melanoma, autoimmune disease, or medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression.Patients were randomized to receive: oOPDIVO mg/kg with ipilimumab mg/kg intravenously every weeks for doses, followed by OPDIVO as single agent at dose of mg/kg by intravenous infusion every weeks (OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm),oOPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion every weeks (OPDIVO arm), oroIpilimumab mg/kg intravenously every weeks for doses, followed by placebo every weeks (ipilimumab arm).Randomization was stratified by PD-L1 expression (>=5% vs. <5% tumor cell membrane expression) as determined by clinical trial assay, BRAF V600 mutation status, and stage per the AJCC staging system (M0, M1a, M1b vs. M1c). Tumor assessments were conducted 12 weeks after randomization then every weeks for the first year, and every 12 weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measures were investigator-assessed PFS per RECIST v1.1 and OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures were confirmed ORR and duration of response. The trial population characteristics were: median age 61 years (range: 18 to 90); 65% male; 97% White; ECOG performance score (73%) or (27%). Disease characteristics were: AJCC Stage IV disease (93%); M1c disease (58%); elevated LDH (36%); history of brain metastases (4%); BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma (32%); PD-L1 >=5% tumor cell membrane expression as determined by the clinical trials assay (46%); and prior adjuvant therapy (22%).CHECKMATE-067 demonstrated statistically significant improvements in OS and PFS for patients randomized to either OPDIVO-containing arm as compared with the ipilimumab arm. The trial was not designed to assess whether adding ipilimumab to OPDIVO improves PFS or OS compared to OPDIVO as single agent. Efficacy results are shown in Table 44 and Figure 3.Table 44: Efficacy Results CHECKMATE-067a OS results are based on final OS analysis with 28 months of minimum follow-up; PFS (co-primary endpoint) and ORR (secondary endpoint) results were based on primary analysis with months of minimum follow-up.

Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion every weeks or ipilimumab 10 mg/kg intravenously every weeks for doses then every 12 weeks beginning at Week 24 for up to year. Enrollment required complete resection of melanoma with margins negative for disease within 12 weeks prior to randomization. The trial excluded patients with history of ocular/uveal melanoma, autoimmune disease, and any condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>=10 mg daily prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications, as well as patients with prior therapy for melanoma except surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy after neurosurgical resection for lesions of the central nervous system, and prior adjuvant interferon completed >=6 months prior to randomization. Randomization was stratified by PD-L1 status (positive [based on 5% level] vs. negative/indeterminate) and AJCC stage (Stage IIIB/C vs. Stage IV M1a-M1b vs. Stage IV M1c). The major efficacy outcome measure was recurrence-free survival (RFS) defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first recurrence (local, regional, or distant metastasis), new primary melanoma, or death, from any cause, whichever occurs first and as assessed by the investigator. Patients underwent imaging for tumor recurrence every 12 weeks for the first years then every months thereafter.The trial population characteristics were: median age was 55 years (range: 18 to 86), 58% were male, 95% were White, and 90% had an ECOG performance status of 0. Disease characteristics were AJCC Stage IIIB (34%), Stage IIIC (47%), Stage IV (19%), M1a-b (14%), BRAF V600 mutation positive (42%), BRAF wild-type (45%), elevated LDH (8%), PD-L1 >=5% tumor cell membrane expression determined by clinical trial assay (34%), macroscopic lymph nodes (48%), and tumor ulceration (32%).CHECKMATE-238 demonstrated statistically significant improvement in RFS for patients randomized to the OPDIVO arm compared with the ipilimumab 10 mg/kg arm.

First-line Treatment of Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Expressing PD-L1 (>=1%): In Combination with Ipilimumab. CHECKMATE-227 (NCT02477826) was randomized, open-label, multi-part trial in patients with metastatic or recurrent NSCLC. The study included patients (18 years of age or older) with histologically confirmed Stage IV or recurrent NSCLC (per the 7th International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer [ASLC] classification), ECOG performance status or 1, and no prior anticancer therapy. Patients were enrolled regardless of their tumor PD-L1 status. Patients with known EGFR mutations or ALK translocations sensitive to available targeted inhibitor therapy, untreated brain metastases, carcinomatous meningitis, active autoimmune disease, or medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression were excluded from the study. Patients with treated brain metastases were eligible if neurologically returned to baseline at least weeks prior to enrolment, and either off corticosteroids, or on stable or decreasing dose of <10 mg daily prednisone equivalents.Primary efficacy results were based on Part 1a of the study, which was limited to patients with PD-L1 tumor expression >=1%. Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx assay at central laboratory. Randomization was stratified by tumor histology (non-squamous versus squamous). The evaluation of efficacy relied on the comparison between: oOPDIVO mg/kg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every weeks in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every weeks; oroPlatinum-doublet chemotherapyChemotherapy regimens consisted of pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) and cisplatin (75 mg/m2) or pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC or 6) for non-squamous NSCLC or gemcitabine (1000 or 1250 mg/m2) and cisplatin (75 mg/m2) or gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC 5) (gemcitabine was administered on Days and of each cycle) for squamous NSCLC.Study treatment continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for up to 24 months. Treatment continued beyond disease progression if patient was clinically stable and was considered to be deriving clinical benefit by the investigator. Patients who discontinued combination therapy because of an adverse event attributed to ipilimumab were permitted to continue OPDIVO as single agent. Tumor assessments were performed every weeks from the first dose of study treatment for the first 12 months, then every 12 weeks until disease progression or study treatment was discontinued. The primary efficacy outcome measure was OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures included PFS, ORR, and duration of response as assessed by BICR.In Part 1a, total of 793 patients were randomized to receive either OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab (n=396) or platinum-doublet chemotherapy (n=397). The median age was 64 years (range: 26 to 87) with 49% of patients >=65 years and 10% of patients >=75 years, 76% White, and 65% male. Baseline ECOG performance status was (34%) or (65%), 50% with PD-L1 >=50%, 29% with squamous and 71% with non-squamous histology, 10% had brain metastases, and 85% were former/current smokers.The study demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS for PD-L1 >=1% patients randomized to the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm compared with the platinum-doublet chemotherapy arm.

First-line Treatment of Metastatic or Recurrent NSCLC: In Combination with Ipilimumab and Platinum-Doublet Chemotherapy. CHECKMATE-9LA (NCT03215706) was randomized, open-label trial in patients with metastatic or recurrent NSCLC. The trial included patients (18 years of age or older) with histologically confirmed Stage IV or recurrent NSCLC (per the 7th International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer classification [IASLC]), ECOG performance status or 1, and no prior anticancer therapy (including EGFR and ALK inhibitors) for metastatic disease. Patients were enrolled regardless of their tumor PD-L1 status. Patients with known EGFR mutations or ALK translocations sensitive to available targeted inhibitor therapy, untreated brain metastases, carcinomatous meningitis, active autoimmune disease, or medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression were excluded from the study. Patients with stable brain metastases were eligible for enrollment. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either:oOPDIVO 360 mg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every weeks, ipilimumab mg/kg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every weeks, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy administered intravenously every weeks for cycles, oroplatinum-doublet chemotherapy administered every weeks for cycles. Platinum-doublet chemotherapy consisted of either carboplatin (AUC or 6) and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2, or cisplatin 75 mg/m2 and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 for non-squamous NSCLC; or carboplatin (AUC 6) and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 for squamous NSCLC. Patients with non-squamous NSCLC in the control arm could receive optional pemetrexed maintenance therapy. Stratification factors for randomization were tumor PD-L1 expression level (>=1% versus <1% or non-quantifiable), histology (squamous versus non-squamous), and sex (male versus female). Study treatment continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for up to years. Treatment could continue beyond disease progression if patient was clinically stable and was considered to be deriving clinical benefit by the investigator. Patients who discontinued combination therapy because of an adverse reaction attributed to ipilimumab were permitted to continue OPDIVO as single agent as part of the study. Tumor assessments were performed every weeks from the first dose of study treatment for the first 12 months, then every 12 weeks until disease progression or study treatment was discontinued. The primary efficacy outcome measure was OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures included PFS, ORR, and duration of response as assessed by BICR.A total of 719 patients were randomized to receive either OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy (n=361) or platinum-doublet chemotherapy (n=358). The median age was 65 years (range: 26 to 86) with 51% of patients >=65 years and 10% of patients >=75 years. The majority of patients were White (89%) and male (70%). Baseline ECOG performance status was (31%) or (68%), 57% had tumors with PD-L1 expression >=1% and 37% had tumors with PD-L1 expression that was <1%, 32% had tumors with squamous histology and 68% had tumors with non-squamous histology, 17% had CNS metastases, and 86% were former or current smokers.

Patients received OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion every weeks (n=135) or docetaxel 75 mg/m2 intravenously every weeks (n=137). Randomization was stratified by prior paclitaxel vs. other prior treatment and region (US/Canada vs. Europe vs. Rest of World). This trial included patients regardless of their PD-L1 status. The trial excluded patients with autoimmune disease, medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression, symptomatic interstitial lung disease, or untreated brain metastasis. Patients with treated brain metastases were eligible if neurologically returned to baseline at least weeks prior to enrollment, and either off corticosteroids, or on stable or decreasing dose of <10 mg daily prednisone equivalents. The first tumor assessments were conducted weeks after randomization and continued every weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measure was OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures were investigator-assessed ORR and PFS.The trial population characteristics were: median age was 63 years (range: 39 to 85) with 44% >=65 years of age and 11% >=75 years of age. The majority of patients were White (93%) and male (76%); the majority of patients were enrolled in Europe (57%) with the remainder in US/Canada (32%) and the rest of the world (11%). Baseline ECOG performance status was (24%) or (76%) and 92% were former/current smokers. Baseline disease characteristics of the population as reported by investigators were Stage IIIb (19%), Stage IV (80%), and brain metastases (6%).

The trial included patients with histologically confirmed and previously untreated malignant pleural mesothelioma with no palliative radiotherapy within 14 days of initiation of therapy. Patients with interstitial lung disease, active autoimmune disease, medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression, or active brain metastasis were excluded from the trial. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either:oOPDIVO mg/kg over 30 minutes by intravenous infusion every weeks and ipilimumab mg/kg over 30 minutes by intravenous infusion every weeks for up to years, or ocisplatin 75 mg/m2 and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2, or carboplatin AUC and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 administered every weeks for cycles.Stratification factors for randomization were tumor histology (epithelioid vs. sarcomatoid or mixed histology subtypes) and sex (male vs. female). Study treatment continued for up to years, or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who discontinued combination therapy because of an adverse reaction attributed to ipilimumab were permitted to continue OPDIVO as single agent. Treatment could continue beyond disease progression if patient was clinically stable and was considered to be deriving clinical benefit by the investigator. Tumor assessments were performed every weeks from the first dose of study treatment for the first 12 months, then every 12 weeks until disease progression or study treatment was discontinued. The primary efficacy outcome measure was OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures included PFS, ORR, and duration of response as assessed by BICR utilizing modified RECIST criteria.A total of 605 patients were randomized to receive either OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab (n=303) or chemotherapy (n=302). The median age was 69 years (range: 25 to 89), with 72% of patients >=65 years and 26% >=75 years; 85% were White, 11% were Asian, and 77% were male. Baseline ECOG performance status was (40%) or (60%), 35% had Stage III and 51% had Stage IV disease, 75% had epithelioid and 25% had non-epithelioid histology, 75% had tumors with PD-L1 expression >=1%, and 22% had tumors with PD-L1 expression <1%.The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab compared to chemotherapy.

Patients were included regardless of their PD-L1 status. CHECKMATE-214 excluded patients with any history of or concurrent brain metastases, active autoimmune disease, or medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression. Patients were stratified by International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (IMDC) prognostic score and region.Efficacy was evaluated in intermediate/poor risk patients with at least or more of prognostic risk factors as per the IMDC criteria (less than one year from time of initial renal cell carcinoma diagnosis to randomization, Karnofsky performance status <80%, hemoglobin less than the lower limit of normal, corrected calcium of >10 mg/dL, platelet count greater than the upper limit of normal, and absolute neutrophil count greater than the upper limit of normal).Patients were randomized to OPDIVO mg/kg and ipilimumab mg/kg intravenously every weeks for doses followed by OPDIVO mg/kg intravenously every two weeks (n=425), or sunitinib 50 mg orally daily for the first weeks of 6-week cycle (n=422). Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.The trial population characteristics were: median age was 61 years (range: 21 to 85) with 38% >=65 years of age and 8% >=75 years of age. The majority of patients were male (73%) and White (87%) and 26% and 74% of patients had baseline KPS of 70% to 80% and 90% to 100%, respectively.The major efficacy outcome measures were OS, PFS (independent radiographic review committee [IRRC]-assessed) and confirmed ORR (IRRC-assessed) in intermediate/poor risk patients. In this population, the trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS and ORR for patients randomized to OPDIVO and ipilimumab as compared with sunitinib (Table 51 and Figure 12). OS benefit was observed regardless of PD-L1 expression level. The trial did not demonstrate statistically significant improvement in PFS.

CHECKMATE-9ER excluded patients with autoimmune disease or other medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression. Patients were stratified by IMDC prognostic score (favorable vs. intermediate vs. poor), PD-L1 tumor expression (>=1% vs. <1% or indeterminate), and region (US/Canada/Western Europe/Northern Europe vs. Rest of World).Patients were randomized to OPDIVO 240 mg intravenously every weeks and cabozantinib 40 mg orally daily (n=323), or sunitinib 50 mg orally daily for the first weeks of 6-week cycle (4 weeks on treatment followed by weeks off) (n=328). Treatment continued until disease progression per RECIST v1.1 or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment beyond RECIST-defined disease progression was permitted if the patient was clinically stable and considered to be deriving clinical benefit by the investigator. Tumor assessments were performed at baseline, after randomization at Week 12, then every weeks until Week 60, and then every 12 weeks thereafter. The trial population characteristics were: median age 61 years (range: 28 to 90) with 38% >=65 years of age and 10% >=75 years of age. The majority of patients were male (74%) and White (82%) and 23% and 77% of patients had baseline KPS of 70% to 80% and 90% to 100%, respectively. Patient distribution by IMDC risk categories was 22% favorable, 58% intermediate, and 20% poor.The major efficacy outcome measure was PFS (BICR assessed). Additional efficacy outcome measures were OS and ORR (BICR assessed). The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in PFS, OS, and ORR for patients randomized to OPDIVO and cabozantinib compared with sunitinib. Consistent results for PFS were observed across pre-specified subgroups of IMDC risk categories and PD-L1 tumor expression status.

Patients had to have Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) >=70% and patients were included regardless of their PD-L1 status. The trial excluded patients with any history of or concurrent brain metastases, prior treatment with an mTOR inhibitor, active autoimmune disease, or medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression. Patients were stratified by region, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Risk Group and the number of prior anti-angiogenic therapies. Patients were randomized OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion every weeks (n=410) or everolimus 10 mg orally daily (n=411). The first tumor assessments were conducted weeks after randomization and continued every weeks thereafter for the first year and then every 12 weeks until progression or treatment discontinuation, whichever occurred later. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS).The trial population characteristics were: median age was 62 years (range: 18 to 88) with 40% >=65 years of age and 9% >=75 years of age. The majority of patients were male (75%) and White (88%) and 34% and 66% of patients had baseline KPS of 70% to 80% and 90% to 100%, respectively. The majority of patients (77%) were treated with one prior anti-angiogenic therapy. Patient distribution by MSKCC risk groups was 34% favorable, 47% intermediate, and 19% poor.The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to OPDIVO as compared with everolimus at the prespecified interim analysis when 398 events were observed (70% of the planned number of events for final analysis). OS benefit was observed regardless of PD-L1 expression level.

CHECKMATE-039 (NCT01592370) was an open-label, multicenter, dose escalation trial that included cHL. Both studies included patients regardless of their tumor PD-L1 status and excluded patients with ECOG performance status of or greater, autoimmune disease, symptomatic interstitial lung disease, hepatic transaminases more than times ULN, creatinine clearance <40 mL/min, prior allogeneic HSCT, or chest irradiation within 24 weeks. In addition, both studies required an adjusted diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) of over 60% in patients with prior pulmonary toxicity. Patients received OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion every weeks until disease progression, maximal clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity. cycle consisted of one dose. Dose reduction was not permitted. Efficacy was evaluated by ORR as determined by an IRRC. Additional outcome measures included duration of response (DOR).Efficacy was evaluated in 95 patients in CHECKMATE-205 and CHECKMATE-039 combined who had failure of autologous HSCT and post-transplantation brentuximab vedotin. The median age was 37 years (range: 18 to 72). The majority were male (64%) and White (87%). Patients had received median of prior systemic regimens (range: to 15). They received median of 27 doses of OPDIVO (range: to 48), with median duration of therapy of 14 months (range: to 23 months).

The trial excluded patients with autoimmune disease, medical conditions requiring immunosuppression, recurrent or metastatic carcinoma of the nasopharynx, squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary histology, salivary gland or non-squamous histologies (e.g., mucosal melanoma), or untreated brain metastasis. Patients with treated brain metastases were eligible if neurologically stable. Patients were randomized to receive OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion every weeks or investigators choice of cetuximab (400 mg/m2 initial dose intravenously followed by 250 mg/m2 weekly), or methotrexate (40 to 60 mg/m2 intravenously weekly), or docetaxel (30 to 40 mg/m2 intravenously weekly).Randomization was stratified by prior cetuximab treatment (yes/no). The first tumor assessments were conducted weeks after randomization and continued every weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measure was OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures were PFS and ORR. total of 361 patients were randomized; 240 patients to the OPDIVO arm and 121 patients to the investigators choice arm (docetaxel: 45%; methotrexate: 43%; and cetuximab: 12%). The trial population characteristics were: median age was 60 years (range: 28 to 83) with 31% >=65 years of age, 83% were White, 12% Asian, and 4% were Black, and 83% male. Baseline ECOG performance status was (20%) or (78%), 76% were former/current smokers, 90% had Stage IV disease, 45% of patients received only one prior line of systemic therapy, the remaining 55% received two or more prior lines of systemic therapy, and 25% had HPVp16-positive tumors, 24% had HPV p16-negative tumors, and 51% had unknown status.The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to OPDIVO as compared with investigators choice at pre-specified interim analysis (78% of the planned number of events for final analysis). There were no statistically significant differences between the two arms for PFS (HR=0.89; 95% CI: 0.70, 1.13) or ORR (13.3% [95% CI: 9.3, 18.3] vs. 5.8% [95% CI: 2.4, 11.6] for nivolumab and investigators choice, respectively).

Adjuvant Treatment of Urothelial Carcinoma (UC) at High Risk of Recurrence. CHECKMATE-274 (NCT02632409) was randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of adjuvant OPDIVO in patients who were within 120 days of radical resection (R0) of UC of the bladder or upper urinary tract (renal pelvis or ureter) at high risk of recurrence. High risk of recurrence was defined as either 1) ypT2-ypT4a or ypN+ for patients who received neoadjuvant cisplatin or 2) pT3-pT4a or pN+ for patients who did not receive neoadjuvant cisplatin and who also either were ineligible for or refused adjuvant cisplatin. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive OPDIVO 240 mg or placebo by intravenous infusion every weeks until recurrence or until unacceptable toxicity for maximum treatment duration of year. Patients were stratified by pathologic nodal status (N+ vs. N0/x with <10 nodes removed vs. N0 with >=10 nodes removed), tumor cells expressing PD-L1 (>=1% vs. <1%/indeterminate as determined by the central lab using the PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx assay), and use of neoadjuvant cisplatin (yes vs. no). The trial population characteristics were: median age of 67 years (range: 30 to 92); 76% male; 76% White, 22% Asian, 0.7% Black, and 0.1% American Indian or Alaska Native. Of the 335 (47%) of patients with node-positive UC, 44 (6%) had non-muscle-invasive (<pT2) primary tumors. ECOG performance status was (63%), (35%), or (2%). Prior neoadjuvant cisplatin had been given to 43% of patients; of the 57% who did not receive prior neoadjuvant cisplatin, reasons listed were ineligibility (22%), patient preference (33%), and other/not reported (2%). Tumor PD-L1 expression was >=1% in 40% of patients, and 21% of patients had upper tract UC.The major efficacy outcome measures were investigator-assessed DFS in all randomized patients and in patients with tumors expressing PD-L1 >=1%. DFS was defined as time to first recurrence (local urothelial tract, local non-urothelial tract, or distant metastasis), or death. Additional efficacy outcome measures included OS.At the pre-specified interim analysis, CHECKMATE-274 demonstrated statistically significant improvement in DFS for patients randomized to OPDIVO vs. placebo in the all randomized patient population, as well as in the subpopulation of patients with PD-L1 >=1%, as shown in Table 57 and Figure 17. In exploratory subgroup analyses in patients with upper tract UC (n=149), no improvement in DFS was observed in the nivolumab arm compared to the placebo arm. The unstratified DFS hazard ratio estimate was 1.15 (95% CI: 0.74, 1.80). In an exploratory subgroup analysis in patients with PD-L1 expression of <1% (n=414), the unstratified DFS hazard ratio estimate was 0.83 (95% CI: 0.64, 1.08).OS data is immature with 33% of deaths in the overall randomized population. In the UTUC subpopulation, 37 deaths occurred (20 in the nivolumab arm, 17 in the placebo arm).Table 57: Efficacy Results CHECKMATE-274N.R. Not reached, N.E.

Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma. CHECKMATE-275 (NCT02387996) was single-arm trial in 270 patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who had disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy or who had disease progression within 12 months of treatment with platinum-containing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy regimen. Patients were excluded for active brain or leptomeningeal metastases, active autoimmune disease, medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression, and ECOG performance status >1. Patients received OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion every weeks until unacceptable toxicity or either radiographic or clinical progression. Tumor response assessments were conducted every weeks for the first 48 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter. Major efficacy outcome measures included confirmed ORR as assessed by IRRC using RECIST v1.1 and DOR.The median age was 66 years (range: 38 to 90), 78% were male, 86% were White. Twenty-seven percent had non-bladder urothelial carcinoma and 84% had visceral metastases. Thirty-four percent of patients had disease progression following prior platinum-containing neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. Twenty-nine percent of patients had received >=2 prior systemic regimens in the metastatic setting. Thirty-six percent of patients received prior cisplatin only, 23% received prior carboplatin only, and 7% were treated with both cisplatin and carboplatin in the metastatic setting. Forty-six percent of patients had an ECOG performance status of 1. Eighteen percent of patients had hemoglobin <10 g/dL, and twenty-eight percent of patients had liver metastases at baseline. Patients were included regardless of their PD-L1 status.Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx assay at central laboratory and the results were used to define subgroups for pre-specified analyses. Of the 270 patients, 46% were defined as having PD-L1 expression of >=1% (defined as >=1% of tumor cells expressing PD-L1). The remaining 54% of patients were classified as having PD-L1 expression of <1% (defined as <1% of tumor cells expressing PD-L1). Confirmed ORR in all patients and the two PD-L1 subgroups are shown in Table 58. Median time to response was 1.9 months (range: 1.6-7.2). In 77 patients who received prior systemic therapy only in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting, the ORR was 23.4% (95% CI: 14.5%, 34.4%).Table 58: Efficacy Results CHECKMATE-275All PatientsN=270PD-L1 <1%N=146PD-L1 >=1%N=124Confirmed Overall Response Rate, (%) (95% CI)53 (19.6%)(15.1, 24.9)22 (15.1%)(9.7, 21.9)31 (25.0%)(17.7, 33.6) Complete response rate (2.6%)1 (0.7%)6 (4.8%) Partial response rate 46 (17.0%)21 (14.4%)25 (20.2%)Median Duration of Responsea (months) (range)10.3 (1.9+, 12.0+)7.6 (3.7, 12.0+)NRb (1.9+, 12.0+)a Estimated from the Kaplan-Meier Curve Not Reached. 14.9 Microsatellite Instability-High or Mismatch Repair Deficient Metastatic Colorectal Cancer CHECKMATE-142 (NCT02060188) was multicenter, non-randomized, multiple parallel-cohort, open-label trial conducted in patients with locally determined dMMR or MSI-H metastatic CRC (mCRC) who had disease progression during or after prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine- oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based chemotherapy. Key eligibility criteria were at least one prior line of treatment for metastatic disease, ECOG performance status or 1, and absence of the following: active brain metastases, active autoimmune disease, or medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression.Patients enrolled in the single agent OPDIVO MSI-H mCRC cohort received OPDIVO mg/kg by intravenous infusion (IV) every weeks. Patients enrolled in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab MSI-H mCRC cohort received OPDIVO mg/kg and ipilimumab mg/kg intravenously every weeks for doses, followed by OPDIVO as single agent at dose of mg/kg as intravenous infusion every weeks. Treatment in both cohorts continued until unacceptable toxicity or radiographic progression. Tumor assessments were conducted every weeks for the first 24 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter. Efficacy outcome measures included ORR and DOR as assessed by BICR using RECIST v1.1.A total of 74 patients were enrolled in the single-agent MSI-H mCRC OPDIVO cohort. The median age was 53 years (range: 26 to 79) with 23% >=65 years of age and 5% >=75 years of age, 59% were male and 88% were White. Baseline ECOG performance status was (43%), (55%), or (1.4%) and 36% were reported to have Lynch Syndrome. Across the 74 patients, 72% received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan; 7%, 30%, 28%, 19%, and 16% received 0, 1, 2, 3, or >=4 prior lines of therapy for metastatic disease, respectively, and 42% of patients had received an anti-EGFR antibody.A total of 119 patients were enrolled in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab MSI-H mCRC cohort. The median age was 58 years (range: 21 to 88), with 32% >=65 years of age and 9% >=75 years of age; 59% were male and 92% were White. Baseline ECOG performance status was (45%) and (55%), and 29% were reported to have Lynch Syndrome. Across the 119 patients, 69% had received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan; 10%, 40%, 24%, and 15% received 1, 2, 3, or >=4 prior lines of therapy for metastatic disease, respectively, and 29% had received an anti-EGFR antibody.Efficacy results for each of these single-arm cohorts are shown in Table 59.Table 59: Efficacy Results CHECKMATE-142a Minimum follow-up 33.7 months for all patients treated with OPDIVO (n=74).

Additional eligibility criteria included histologic confirmation of HCC and Child-Pugh Class cirrhosis. The trial excluded patients with active autoimmune disease, brain metastasis, history of hepatic encephalopathy, clinically significant ascites, infection with HIV, or active co-infection with hepatitis virus (HBV) and hepatitis virus (HCV) or HBV and hepatitis virus (HDV); however, patients with only active HBV or HCV were eligible. Tumor assessments were conducted every weeks for 48 weeks and then every 12 weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measure was confirmed overall response rate as assessed by BICR using RECIST v1.1 and modified RECIST (mRECIST) for HCC. Duration of response was also assessed.The efficacy of OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab was evaluated in 49 patients (Cohort 4) who received OPDIVO mg/kg and ipilimumab mg/kg administered every weeks for doses, followed by single-agent OPDIVO at 240 mg every weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median age was 60 years (range: 18 to 80), 88% were male, 74% were Asian, and 25% were White. Baseline ECOG performance status was (61%) or (39%). Fifty-seven (57%) percent of patients had active HBV infection, 8% had active HCV infection, and 35% had no evidence of active HBV or HCV. The etiology for HCC was alcoholic liver disease in 16% and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in 6% of patients. Child-Pugh class and score was A5 for 82% and A6 for 18%; 80% of patients had extrahepatic spread; 35% had vascular invasion; and 51% had AFP levels >=400 ug/L. Prior cancer treatment history included surgery (74%), radiotherapy (29%), or local treatment (59%). All patients had received prior sorafenib, of whom 10% were unable to tolerate sorafenib; 29% of patients had received or more prior systemic therapies.Efficacy results are shown in Table 60.

Patients were randomized (2:1) to receive either OPDIVO 240 mg or placebo by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every weeks for 16 weeks followed by 480 mg or placebo by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every weeks beginning at week 17. Treatment was until disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity, or for up to year in total duration. Enrollment required complete resection within to 16 weeks prior to randomization. The trial excluded patients who did not receive CRT prior to surgery, had stage IV resectable disease, autoimmune disease, or any condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications. Randomization was stratified by tumor PD-L1 status (>=1% vs. <1% or indeterminate or non-evaluable), pathologic lymph node status (positive >=ypN1 vs. negative ypN0), and histology (squamous vs. adenocarcinoma). The major efficacy outcome measure was disease-free survival (DFS) defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first recurrence (local, regional, or distant from the primary resected site) or death, from any cause, whichever occurred first as assessed by the investigator prior to subsequent anti-cancer therapy. Patients on treatment underwent imaging for tumor recurrence every 12 weeks for years, and minimum of one scan every to 12 months for years to 5. The trial population characteristics were: median age 62 years (range: 26 to 86), 36% were >=65 years of age, 85% were male, 15% were Asian, 82% were White, and 1.1% were Black. Disease characteristics were AJCC Stage II (35%) or Stage III (65%) at initial diagnosis carcinoma, EC (60%) or GEJC (40%) at initial diagnosis, with pathologic positive lymph node status (58%) at study entry and histological confirmation of predominant adenocarcinoma (71%) or squamous cell carcinoma (29%). The baseline Tumor PD-L1 status >=1% was positive for 16% of patients and negative for 72% of patients. Baseline ECOG performance status was (58%) or (42%).CHECKMATE-577 demonstrated statistically significant improvement in DFS for patients randomized to the OPDIVO arm as compared with the placebo arm. DFS benefit was observed regardless of tumor PD-L1 expression and histology.Efficacy results are shown in Table 61 and Figure 18.Table 61: Efficacy Results CHECKMATE-577a Based on stratified proportional hazards model.

The trial enrolled patients regardless of PD-L1 status, but tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx assay at central laboratory. The trial excluded patients who were refractory or intolerant to taxane therapy, had brain metastases that were symptomatic or required treatment, had autoimmune disease, used systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants, or had apparent tumor invasion of organs adjacent to the esophageal tumor or had stents in the esophagus or respiratory tract. Patients were randomized to receive OPDIVO 240 mg by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every weeks or investigators choice of taxane chemotherapy consisting of docetaxel (75 mg/m2 intravenously every weeks) or paclitaxel (100 mg/m2 intravenously once week for weeks followed by week off).Randomization was stratified by region (Japan vs. Rest of World), number of organs with metastases (<=1 vs. >=2), and PD-L1 status (>=1% vs. <1% or indeterminate). Patients were treated until disease progression, assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1, or unacceptable toxicity. The tumor assessments were conducted every weeks for year, and every 12 weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measure was OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures were ORR and PFS as assessed by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 and DOR.A total of 419 patients were randomized; 210 to the OPDIVO arm and 209 to the investigators choice arm (docetaxel: 31%, paclitaxel: 69%). The trial population characteristics were: median age 65 years (range: 33 to 87), 53% were >=65 years of age, 87% were male, 96% were Asian and 4% were White. Sixty-seven percent of patients had received one prior systemic therapy regimen and 26% had received two prior systemic therapy regimens prior to enrolling in ATTRACTION-3. Baseline ECOG performance status was (50%) or (50%).ATTRACTION-3 demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to OPDIVO as compared with investigators choice of taxane chemotherapy. OS benefit was observed regardless of PD-L1 expression level. The minimum follow-up was 17.6 months.

In the PD-L1 negative subgroup, the HR for OS was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.62, 1.14) with median survivals of 10.9 and 9.3 months for the OPDIVO and investigators choice arms, respectively.. opdivo-dfs-checkmate-577.jpg. opdivo-os-attraction-3.jpg. 14.12 Gastric Cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma CHECKMATE-649 (NCT02872116) was randomized, multicenter, open-label trial in patients (n=1581) with previously untreated advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, and esophageal adenocarcinoma. The trial enrolled patients regardless of PD-L1 status, and tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx assay at central laboratory. The trial excluded patients who were known human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) positive, or had untreated CNS metastases. Patients were randomized to receive OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy (n=789) or chemotherapy (n=792). Patients received one of the following treatments:oOPDIVO 240 mg in combination with mFOLFOX6 (fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin) every weeks or mFOLFOX6 every weeks.oOPDIVO 360 mg in combination with CapeOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) every weeks or CapeOX every weeks.Patients were treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to years. In patients who received OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy and in whom chemotherapy was discontinued, OPDIVO monotherapy was allowed to be given at 240 mg every weeks, 360 mg every weeks, or 480 mg every weeks up to years after treatment initiation.Randomization was stratified by tumor cell PD-L1 status (>=1% vs. <1% or indeterminate), region (Asia vs. US vs. Rest of World), ECOG performance status (0 vs. 1), and chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFOX6 vs. CapeOX). The major efficacy outcome measures, assessed in patients with PD-L1 CPS >=5, were PFS assessed by BICR and OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures included OS and PFS in patients with PD-L1 CPS >=1 and in all randomized patients, and ORR and DOR as assessed by BICR in patients with PD-L1 CPS >=1 and >=5, and in all randomized patients. Tumor assessments were conducted per RECIST v1.1 every weeks up to and including week 48, then every 12 weeks thereafter.The trial population characteristics were: median age 61 years (range: 18 to 90), 39% were >=65 years of age, 70% were male, 24% were Asian, and 69% were White, and 1% were Black. Baseline ECOG performance status was (42%) or (58%). Seventy percent of patients had adenocarcinoma tumors in the stomach, 16% in the gastroesophageal junction, and 13% in the esophagus.CHECKMATE-649 demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS and PFS for patients with PD-L1 CPS >=5. Statistically significant improvement in OS was also demonstrated for all randomized patients. The minimum follow-up was 12.1 months.

MEDICATION GUIDE. OPDIVO(R) (op-DEE-voh)(nivolumab)InjectionRead this Medication Guide before you start receiving OPDIVO and before each infusion. There may be new information. If your healthcare provider prescribes OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab (YERVOY(R)), also read the Medication Guide that comes with ipilimumab. If your healthcare provider prescribes OPDIVO in combination with cabozantinib, also read the Patient Information that comes with cabozantinib. This Medication Guide does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your medical condition or your treatment.What is the most important information should know about OPDIVOOPDIVO is medicine that may treat certain cancers by working with your immune system. OPDIVO can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in any area of your body and can affect the way they work. These problems can sometimes become severe or can lead to death. These problems may happen anytime during treatment or even after your treatment has ended. You may have more than one of these problems at the same time. Some of these problems may happen more often when OPDIVO is used in combination with another therapy.Call or see your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worse signs or symptoms, including:Lung problems.onew or worsening coughoshortness of breathochest painIntestinal problems.odiarrhea (loose stools) or more frequent bowel movements than usualostools that are black, tarry, sticky, or have blood or mucusosevere stomach-area (abdominal) pain or tendernessLiver problems.oyellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyesosevere nausea or vomitingopain on the right side of your stomach area (abdomen)odark urine (tea colored)obleeding or bruising more easily than normalHormone gland problems.oheadaches that will not go away or unusual headachesoeye sensitivity to lightoeye problemsorapid heart beatoincreased sweatingoextreme tirednessoweight gain or weight lossofeeling more hungry or thirsty than usualourinating more often than usualohair lossofeeling coldoconstipationoyour voice gets deeperodizziness or faintingochanges in mood or behavior, such as decreased sex drive, irritability, or forgetfulnessKidney problems.odecrease in your amount of urineoblood in your urineoswelling of your anklesoloss of appetiteSkin problems.orashoitchingoskin blistering or peelingopainful sore or ulcers in mouth or nose, throat, or genital areaProblems can also happen in other organs and tissues. These are not all of the signs and symptoms of immune system problems that can happen with OPDIVO. Call or see your healthcare provider right away for any new or worsening signs or symptoms, which may include:oChest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath or swelling of anklesoConfusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems, tingling or numbness of the arms or legsoDouble vision, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain, changes in eye sightoPersistent or severe muscle pain or weakness, muscle crampsoLow red blood cells, bruisingGetting medical treatment right away may help keep these problems from becoming more serious.Your healthcare provider will check you for these problems during treatment with OPDIVO. Your healthcare provider may treat you with corticosteroid or hormone replacement medicines. Your healthcare provider may also need to delay or completely stop treatment with OPDIVO, if you have severe side effects.What is OPDIVOOPDIVO is prescription medicine used to treat:opeople with type

Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. oWithhold or permanently discontinue based on severity and type of reaction. (2.3). oInfusion-related reactions: Interrupt, slow the rate of infusion, or permanently discontinue OPDIVO based on severity of reaction. (5.2) oComplications of allogeneic HSCT: Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patient who receive allogeneic HSCT before or after being treated with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. (5.3) oEmbryo-Fetal toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of potential risk to fetus and to use effective contraception. (5.4, 8.1, 8.3). oTreatment of patients with multiple myeloma with PD-1 or PD-L1 blocking antibody in combination with thalidomide analogue plus dexamethasone is not recommended outside of controlled clinical trials. (5.5). 5.1 Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions. OPDIVO is monoclonal antibody that belongs to class of drugs that bind to either the programmed death-receptor (PD-1) or the PD-ligand (PD-L1), blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, thereby removing inhibition of the immune response, potentially breaking peripheral tolerance and inducing immune-mediated adverse reactions. Important immune-mediated adverse reactions listed under Warnings and Precautions may not include all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions.Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. While immune-mediated adverse reactions usually manifest during treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies, immune-mediated adverse reactions can also manifest after discontinuation of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies.Early identification and management of immune-mediated adverse reactions are essential to ensure safe use of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate.Withhold or permanently discontinue OPDIVO depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. In general, if OPDIVO requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 to mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade or less. Upon improvement to Grade or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy. Toxicity management guidelines for adverse reactions that do not necessarily require systemic steroids (e.g., endocrinopathies and dermatologic reactions) are discussed below.. Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis. OPDIVO can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis, which is defined as requiring use of steroids and no clear alternate etiology. In patients treated with other PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies, the incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation.OPDIVO as Single AgentImmune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 3.1% (61/1994) of patients receiving OPDIVO as single agent, including Grade (<0.1%), Grade (0.9%), and Grade (2.1%) adverse reactions.

Severe or fatal cases have been reported for some of these adverse reactions.Cardiac/Vascular: Myocarditis, pericarditis, vasculitisNervous System: Meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis and demyelination, myasthenic syndrome/myasthenia gravis (including exacerbation), Guillain-Barre syndrome, nerve paresis, autoimmune neuropathyOcular: Uveitis, iritis, and other ocular inflammatory toxicities can occur. Some cases can be associated with retinal detachment. Various grades of visual impairment, including blindness, can occur. If uveitis occurs in combination with other immune-mediated adverse reactions, consider Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like syndrome, as this may require treatment with systemic steroids to reduce the risk of permanent vision lossGastrointestinal: Pancreatitis to include increases in serum amylase and lipase levels, gastritis, duodenitisMusculoskeletal and Connective Tissue: Myositis/polymyositis, rhabdomyolysis, and associated sequelae including renal failure, arthritis, polymyalgia rheumaticEndocrine: HypoparathyroidismOther (Hematologic/Immune): Hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi lymphadenitis), sarcoidosis, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, solid organ transplant rejection. 5.2 Infusion-Related Reactions OPDIVO can cause severe infusion-related reactions, which have been reported in <1.0% of patients in clinical trials. Discontinue OPDIVO in patients with severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions. Interrupt or slow the rate of infusion in patients with mild or moderate infusion-related reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].. OPDIVO as Single Agent In patients who received OPDIVO as 60-minute intravenous infusion, infusion-related reactions occurred in 6.4% (127/1994) of patients.In trial assessing the pharmacokinetics and safety of more rapid infusion, in which patients received OPDIVO as 60-minute intravenous infusion or 30-minute intravenous infusion, infusion-related reactions occurred in 2.2% (8/368) and 2.7% (10/369) of patients, respectively. Additionally, 0.5% (2/368) and 1.4% (5/369) of patients, respectively, experienced adverse reactions within 48 hours of infusion that led to dose delay, permanent discontinuation, or withholding of OPDIVO.. OPDIVO with Ipilimumab OPDIVO mg/kg with Ipilimumab mg/kgInfusion-related reactions occurred in 2.5% (10/407) of patients with melanoma and in 8% (4/49) of patients with HCC who received OPDIVO mg/kg with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks.OPDIVO mg/kg with Ipilimumab mg/kgInfusion-related reactions occurred in 5.1% (28/547) of patients with RCC and 4.2% (5/119) of patients with CRC who received OPDIVO mg/kg with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks, respectively. Infusion-related reactions occurred in 12% (37/300) of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma who received OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks.. 5.3 Complications of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with PD-1 receptor blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT.Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefit versus risks of treatment with PD-1 receptor blocking antibody prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT.. 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action and data from animal studies, OPDIVO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of nivolumab to cynomolgus monkeys from the onset of organogenesis through delivery resulted in increased abortion and premature infant death. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with OPDIVO and for at least months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].. 5.5 Increased Mortality in Patients with Multiple Myeloma when OPDIVO Is Added to Thalidomide Analogue and Dexamethasone In randomized clinical trials in patients with multiple myeloma, the addition of PD-1 blocking antibody, including OPDIVO, to thalidomide analogue plus dexamethasone, use for which no PD-1 or PD-L1 blocking antibody is indicated, resulted in increased mortality. Treatment of patients with multiple myeloma with PD-1 or PD-L1 blocking antibody in combination with thalidomide analogue plus dexamethasone is not recommended outside of controlled clinical trials.

ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In animal models, inhibition of PD-1 signaling increased the severity of some infections and enhanced inflammatory responses. M. tuberculosis-infected PD-1 knockout mice exhibit markedly decreased survival compared with wild-type controls, which correlated with increased bacterial proliferation and inflammatory responses in these animals. PD-1 knockout mice have also shown decreased survival following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. No studies have been performed to assess the potential of nivolumab for carcinogenicity or genotoxicity. Fertility studies have not been performed with nivolumab. In 1-month and 3-month repeat-dose toxicology studies in monkeys, there were no notable effects in the male and female reproductive organs; however, most animals in these studies were not sexually mature.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Binding of the PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, to the PD-1 receptor found on cells, inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors and signaling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumors. Nivolumab is human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-1 receptor and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth.Combined nivolumab (anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) mediated inhibition results in enhanced T-cell function that is greater than the effects of either antibody alone, and results in improved anti-tumor responses in metastatic melanoma and advanced RCC. In murine syngeneic tumor models, dual blockade of PD-1 and CTLA-4 resulted in increased anti-tumor activity.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Nivolumab pharmacokinetics (PK) was assessed using population PK approach for both single-agent OPDIVO and OPDIVO with ipilimumab. The PK of nivolumab was studied in patients over dose range of 0.1 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg administered as single dose or as multiple doses of OPDIVO as 60-minute intravenous infusion every or weeks. The exposure to nivolumab increases dose proportionally over the dose range of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg administered every weeks. The predicted exposure of nivolumab after 30-minute infusion is comparable to that observed with 60-minute infusion. Steady-state concentrations of nivolumab were reached by 12 weeks when administered at mg/kg every weeks, and systemic accumulation was 3.7-fold.Distribution The geometric mean volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) and coefficient of variation (CV%) is 6.8 (27.3%). Elimination Nivolumab clearance (CL) decreases over time, with mean maximal reduction from baseline values (CV%) of 24.5% (47.6%) resulting in geometric mean steady-state clearance (CLss) (CV%) of 8.2 mL/h (53.9%) in patients with metastatic tumors; the decrease in CLss is not considered clinically relevant. Nivolumab clearance does not decrease over time in patients with completely resected melanoma, as the geometric mean population clearance is 24% lower in this patient population compared with patients with metastatic melanoma at steady state. The geometric mean elimination half-life (t1/2) is 25 days (77.5%).Specific Populations The following factors had no clinically important effect on the clearance of nivolumab: age (29 to 87 years), weight (35 to 160 kg), sex, race, baseline LDH, PD-L1 expression, solid tumor type, tumor size, renal impairment (eGFR >= 15 mL/min/1.73 m2), and mild (total bilirubin [TB] less than or equal to the ULN and AST greater than ULN or TB greater than to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) or moderate hepatic impairment (TB greater than 1.5 to times ULN and any AST). Nivolumab has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (TB greater than times ULN and any AST).Drug Interaction StudiesWhen OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks, the CL of nivolumab and ipilimumab were unchanged compared to nivolumab or ipilimumab administered alone.When OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks, the CL of nivolumab was increased by 29% compared to OPDIVO administered alone and the CL of ipilimumab was unchanged compared to ipilimumab administered alone.When OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks, the CL of nivolumab was unchanged compared to OPDIVO administered alone and the CL of ipilimumab was increased by 30% compared to ipilimumab administered alone.When OPDIVO 360 mg every weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks and chemotherapy, the CL of nivolumab was unchanged compared to OPDIVO administered alone and the CL of ipilimumab increased by 22% compared to ipilimumab administered alone.When administered in combination, the CL of nivolumab increased by 20% in the presence of anti-nivolumab antibodies.

No dose reduction for OPDIVO is recommended. In general, withhold OPDIVO for severe (Grade 3) immune-mediated adverse reactions. Permanently discontinue OPDIVO for life-threatening (Grade 4) immune-mediated adverse reactions, recurrent severe (Grade 3) immune-mediated reactions that require systemic immunosuppressive treatment, or an inability to reduce corticosteroid dose to 10 mg or less of prednisone or equivalent per day within 12 weeks of initiating steroids. Dosage modifications for OPDIVO or OPDIVO in combination for adverse reactions that require management different from these general guidelines are summarized in Table and Table 4.When OPDIVO is administered in combination with ipilimumab, withhold or permanently discontinue both ipilimumab and OPDIVO for an adverse reaction meeting these dose modification guidelines.Table 3: Recommended Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactionsa Resume in patients with complete or partial resolution (Grade to 1) after corticosteroid taper. Permanently discontinue if no complete or partial resolution within 12 weeks of last dose or inability to reduce prednisone to 10 mg per day (or equivalent) or less within 12 weeks of initiating steroids.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.

12.1 Mechanism of Action. Binding of the PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, to the PD-1 receptor found on cells, inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors and signaling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumors. Nivolumab is human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-1 receptor and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth.Combined nivolumab (anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) mediated inhibition results in enhanced T-cell function that is greater than the effects of either antibody alone, and results in improved anti-tumor responses in metastatic melanoma and advanced RCC. In murine syngeneic tumor models, dual blockade of PD-1 and CTLA-4 resulted in increased anti-tumor activity.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. No studies have been performed to assess the potential of nivolumab for carcinogenicity or genotoxicity. Fertility studies have not been performed with nivolumab. In 1-month and 3-month repeat-dose toxicology studies in monkeys, there were no notable effects in the male and female reproductive organs; however, most animals in these studies were not sexually mature.. 13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In animal models, inhibition of PD-1 signaling increased the severity of some infections and enhanced inflammatory responses. M. tuberculosis-infected PD-1 knockout mice exhibit markedly decreased survival compared with wild-type controls, which correlated with increased bacterial proliferation and inflammatory responses in these animals. PD-1 knockout mice have also shown decreased survival following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.

8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of OPDIVO as single agent and in combination with ipilimumab have been established in pediatric patients age 12 years and older with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) that has progressed following treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. Use of OPDIVO for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of OPDIVO in adults with MSI-H or dMMR mCRC with additional population pharmacokinetic data demonstrating that age and body weight had no clinically meaningful effect on the steady-state exposure of nivolumab, that drug exposure is generally similar between adults and pediatric patients age 12 years and older for monoclonal antibodies, and that the course of MSI-H or dMMR mCRC is sufficiently similar in adults and pediatric patients to allow extrapolation of data in adults to pediatric patients [see Dosage and Administration (2.2), Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) Clinical Studies (14.9)].The safety and effectiveness of OPDIVO have not been established (1) in pediatric patients <12 years old with MSI-H or dMMR mCRC or (2) in pediatric patients less than 18 years old for the other approved indications [see Indications and Usage (1)].

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Nivolumab pharmacokinetics (PK) was assessed using population PK approach for both single-agent OPDIVO and OPDIVO with ipilimumab. The PK of nivolumab was studied in patients over dose range of 0.1 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg administered as single dose or as multiple doses of OPDIVO as 60-minute intravenous infusion every or weeks. The exposure to nivolumab increases dose proportionally over the dose range of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg administered every weeks. The predicted exposure of nivolumab after 30-minute infusion is comparable to that observed with 60-minute infusion. Steady-state concentrations of nivolumab were reached by 12 weeks when administered at mg/kg every weeks, and systemic accumulation was 3.7-fold.Distribution The geometric mean volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) and coefficient of variation (CV%) is 6.8 (27.3%). Elimination Nivolumab clearance (CL) decreases over time, with mean maximal reduction from baseline values (CV%) of 24.5% (47.6%) resulting in geometric mean steady-state clearance (CLss) (CV%) of 8.2 mL/h (53.9%) in patients with metastatic tumors; the decrease in CLss is not considered clinically relevant. Nivolumab clearance does not decrease over time in patients with completely resected melanoma, as the geometric mean population clearance is 24% lower in this patient population compared with patients with metastatic melanoma at steady state. The geometric mean elimination half-life (t1/2) is 25 days (77.5%).Specific Populations The following factors had no clinically important effect on the clearance of nivolumab: age (29 to 87 years), weight (35 to 160 kg), sex, race, baseline LDH, PD-L1 expression, solid tumor type, tumor size, renal impairment (eGFR >= 15 mL/min/1.73 m2), and mild (total bilirubin [TB] less than or equal to the ULN and AST greater than ULN or TB greater than to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) or moderate hepatic impairment (TB greater than 1.5 to times ULN and any AST). Nivolumab has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (TB greater than times ULN and any AST).Drug Interaction StudiesWhen OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks, the CL of nivolumab and ipilimumab were unchanged compared to nivolumab or ipilimumab administered alone.When OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks, the CL of nivolumab was increased by 29% compared to OPDIVO administered alone and the CL of ipilimumab was unchanged compared to ipilimumab administered alone.When OPDIVO mg/kg every weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks, the CL of nivolumab was unchanged compared to OPDIVO administered alone and the CL of ipilimumab was increased by 30% compared to ipilimumab administered alone.When OPDIVO 360 mg every weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab mg/kg every weeks and chemotherapy, the CL of nivolumab was unchanged compared to OPDIVO administered alone and the CL of ipilimumab increased by 22% compared to ipilimumab administered alone.When administered in combination, the CL of nivolumab increased by 20% in the presence of anti-nivolumab antibodies.

PREGNANCY SECTION.

8.1 Pregnancy. Risk Summary. Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], OPDIVO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of nivolumab to cynomolgus monkeys from the onset of organogenesis through delivery resulted in increased abortion and premature infant death (see Data). Human IgG4 is known to cross the placental barrier and nivolumab is an immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4); therefore, nivolumab has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. The effects of OPDIVO are likely to be greater during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. There are no available data on OPDIVO use in pregnant women to evaluate drug-associated risk. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus.The background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.. Data. Animal DataA central function of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is to preserve pregnancy by maintaining maternal immune tolerance to the fetus. Blockade of PD-L1 signaling has been shown in murine models of pregnancy to disrupt tolerance to the fetus and to increase fetal loss. The effects of nivolumab on prenatal and postnatal development were evaluated in monkeys that received nivolumab twice weekly from the onset of organogenesis through delivery, at exposure levels of between and 42 times higher than those observed at the clinical dose of mg/kg (based on AUC). Nivolumab administration resulted in non-dose-related increase in spontaneous abortion and increased neonatal death. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to nivolumab may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response and immune-mediated disorders have been reported in PD-1 knockout mice. In surviving infants (18 of 32 compared to 11 of 16 vehicle-exposed infants) of cynomolgus monkeys treated with nivolumab, there were no apparent malformations and no effects on neurobehavioral, immunological, or clinical pathology parameters throughout the 6-month postnatal period.

No overall difference in safety was reported between elderly patients and younger patients.Of the 1581 patients randomized to OPDIVO 240 mg every weeks or 360 mg every weeks administered in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy in CHECKMATE-649 (GC, GEJC, or EAC), 39% were 65 years or older and 10% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between elderly patients and younger patients.
