Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a 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 reflect exposure to OPDIVO as a single agent in 1994 patients enrolled in CHECKMATE-037, CHECKMATE-017, CHECKMATE-057, CHECKMATE-066, CHECKMATE-025, CHECKMATE-067, CHECKMATE-205, CHECKMATE-039 or a single-arm trial in NSCLC (n=117); OPDIVO 1 mg/kg with ipilimumab 3 mg/kg in patients enrolled in CHECKMATE-067 (n=313), CHECKMATE-040 (n=49), or another randomized trial (n=94); OPDIVO 3 mg/kg administered with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg (n=666) in patients enrolled in CHECKMATE-214 or CHECKMATE-142; OPDIVO 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks in patients enrolled in CHECKMATE-227 (n=576) or CHECKMATE-743 (n=300); OPDIVO 360 mg with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg and 2 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 Melanoma

The safety of OPDIVO was evaluated in CHECKMATE-037, a randomized, open-label trial in 370 patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Patients had documented disease progression following treatment with ipilimumab and, if BRAF V600 mutation positive, a BRAF inhibitor. The trial excluded patients with autoimmune disease, prior ipilimumab-related Grade 4 adverse reactions (except for endocrinopathies) or Grade 3 ipilimumab-related adverse reactions that had not resolved or were inadequately controlled within 12 weeks of the initiating event, patients with a condition requiring chronic systemic treatment with corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications, a positive test for hepatitis B or C, and a history of HIV. Patients received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks (n=268) or investigator’s choice of chemotherapy (n=102): dacarbazine 1000 mg/m² intravenously every 3 weeks or carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min and paclitaxel 175 mg/m² intravenously every 3 weeks. The median duration of exposure was 5.3 months (range: 1 day to 13.8+ months) in OPDIVO-treated patients and was 2 months (range: 1 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 0 (59%) or 1 (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 a dose interruption for an adverse reaction. Grade 3 and 4 adverse reactions occurred in 42% of patients receiving OPDIVO. The most frequent Grade 3 and 4 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 5 and 6 summarize the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in CHECKMATE-037.

Previously Untreated Metastatic Melanoma

CHECKMATE-066

The safety of OPDIVO was also evaluated in CHECKMATE-066, a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trial in 411 previously untreated patients with BRAF V600 wild-type unresectable or metastatic melanoma. 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 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks (n=206) or dacarbazine 1000 mg/m² intravenously every 3 weeks (n=205). The median duration of exposure was 6.5 months (range: 1 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 0 (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 3 and 4 adverse reactions occurred in 41% of patients receiving OPDIVO.

The most frequent Grade 3 and 4 adverse reactions reported in ≥2% of patients receiving OPDIVO were increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (3.9%) and diarrhea (3.4%). The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥20% of patients and at a higher incidence than in the dacarbazine arm) were fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, rash, and pruritus.

CHECKMATE-067

The safety of OPDIVO, administered with ipilimumab or as a single agent, was evaluated in CHECKMATE-067, a randomized (1:1:1), double-blind trial in 937 patients with previously untreated, unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The trial excluded patients with autoimmune disease, a medical condition requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids (more than 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medication within 14 days of the start of study therapy, a positive test result for hepatitis B or C, or a history of HIV.

Patients were randomized to receive:

OPDIVO 1 mg/kg over 60 minutes with ipilimumab 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by OPDIVO as a single agent at a dose of 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks (OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm; n=313), or
OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks (OPDIVO arm; n=313), or
Ipilimumab 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for up to 4 doses (ipilimumab arm; n=311).

The median duration of exposure to OPDIVO was 2.8 months (range: 1 day to 36.4 months) for the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm and 6.6 months (range: 1 day to 36.0 months) for the OPDIVO arm. In the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm, 39% were exposed to OPDIVO for ≥6 months and 30% exposed for >1 year. In the OPDIVO arm, 53% were exposed for ≥6 months and 40% for >1 year.

The population characteristics were: 65% male, median age 61 years, 97% White, baseline ECOG performance status 0 (73%) or 1 (27%), 93% with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Stage IV disease, 58% with M1c stage disease; 36% with elevated LDH at baseline, 4% with a history of brain metastasis, and 22% had received adjuvant therapy.

Serious adverse reactions (74% and 44%), adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation (47% and 18%) or to dosing delays (58% and 36%), and Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions (72% and 51%) all occurred more frequently in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm relative to the OPDIVO arm.

The most frequent (≥10%) serious adverse reactions in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm and the OPDIVO arm, respectively, were diarrhea (13% and 2.2%), colitis (10% and 1.9%), and pyrexia (10% and 1.0%). The most frequent adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of both drugs in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm and of OPDIVO in the OPDIVO arm, respectively, were colitis (10% and 0.6%), diarrhea (8% and 2.2%), increased ALT (4.8% and 1.0%), increased AST (4.5% and 0.6%), and pneumonitis (1.9% and 0.3%).

The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm were fatigue, diarrhea, rash, nausea, pyrexia, pruritus, musculoskeletal pain, vomiting, decreased appetite, cough, headache, dyspnea, upper respiratory tract infection, arthralgia, and increased transaminases.

Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

First-line Treatment Of Metastatic NSCLC: In Combination With Ipilimumab

The safety of OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab was evaluated in CHECKMATE-227, a randomized, multicenter, multi-cohort, open-label trial in patients with previously untreated metastatic or recurrent NSCLC with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. The trial excluded patients with untreated brain metastases, carcinomatous meningitis, active autoimmune disease, or medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression.

Second-line Treatment Of Metastatic NSCLC

The safety of OPDIVO was evaluated in CHECKMATE-017, a randomized open-label, multicenter trial in patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC and progression on or after one prior platinum doublet-based chemotherapy regimen and in CHECKMATE-057, a randomized, open-label, multicenter trial in patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC and progression on or after one prior platinum doublet-based chemotherapy regimen. These trials excluded patients with active autoimmune disease, medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression, or with symptomatic interstitial lung disease. Patients received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg over 60 minutes by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks or docetaxel 75 mg/m² intravenously every 3 weeks. The median duration of therapy in OPDIVO-treated patients in CHECKMATE-017 was 3.3 months (range: 1 day to 21.7+ months) and in CHECKMATE-057 was 2.6 months (range: 0 to 24.0+ months). In CHECKMATE-017, 36% of patients received OPDIVO for at least 6 months and 18% of patients received OPDIVO for at least 1 year and in CHECKMATE-057, 30% of patients received OPDIVO for >6 months and 20% of patients received OPDIVO for >1 year.

Across both trials, the median age of OPDIVO-treated patients was 61 years (range: 37 to 85); 38% were ≥65 years of age, 61% were male, and 91% were White. Ten percent of patients had brain metastases and ECOG performance status was 0 (26%) or 1 (74%).

In CHECKMATE-057, in the OPDIVO arm, seven deaths were due to infection including one case of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, four were due to pulmonary embolism, and one death was due to limbic encephalitis. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 46% of patients receiving OPDIVO. OPDIVO was discontinued in 11% of patients and was delayed in 28% of patients for an adverse reaction.

The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in ≥2% of patients receiving OPDIVO were pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, dyspnea, pyrexia, pleural effusion, pneumonitis, and respiratory failure. Across both trials, the most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, cough, dyspnea, and decreased appetite.

Tables 19 and 20 summarize selected adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in CHECKMATE-057.

First-line Renal Cell Carcinoma

CHECKMATE-214

The safety of OPDIVO with ipilimumab was evaluated in CHECKMATE-214, a randomized open-label trial in 1082 patients with previously untreated advanced RCC received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg over 60 minutes with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by OPDIVO as a single agent at a dose of 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks (n=547) or sunitinib 50 mg orally daily for the first 4 weeks of a 6-week cycle (n=535. The median duration of treatment was 7.9 months (range: 1 day to 21.4+ months) in OPDIVO and ipilimumab-treated patients and 7.8 months (range: 1 day to 20.2+ months) in sunitinib-treated patients. In this trial, 57% of patients in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm were exposed to treatment for >6 months and 38% of patients were exposed to treatment for >1 year.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 59% of patients receiving OPDIVO and ipilimumab. Study therapy was discontinued for adverse reactions in 31% of OPDIVO and ipilimumab patients. Fiftyfour percent (54%) of patients receiving OPDIVO and ipilimumab had a dose interruption for an adverse reaction.

The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in ≥2% of patients treated with OPDIVO and ipilimumab were diarrhea, pyrexia, pneumonia, pneumonitis, hypophysitis, acute kidney injury, dyspnea, adrenal insufficiency, and colitis; in patients treated with sunitinib, they were pneumonia, pleural effusion, and dyspnea. The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥20% of patients) were fatigue, rash, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, pruritus, nausea, cough, pyrexia, arthralgia, and decreased appetite. The most common laboratory abnormalities which have worsened compared to baseline in ≥30% of OPDIVO and ipilimumab-treated patients include increased lipase, anemia, increased creatinine, increased ALT, increased AST, hyponatremia, increased amylase, and lymphopenia.

Previously Treated Renal Cell Carcinoma

CHECKMATE-025

The safety of OPDIVO was evaluated in CHECKMATE-025, a randomized open-label trial in 803 patients with advanced RCC who had experienced disease progression during or after at least one anti-angiogenic treatment regimen received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg over 60 minutes by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks (n=406) or everolimus 10 mg daily (n=397) [see Clinical Studies]. The median duration of treatment was 5.5 months (range: 1 day to 29.6+ months) in OPDIVOtreated patients and 3.7 months (range: 6 days to 25.7+ months) in everolimus-treated patients.

Rate of death on treatment or within 30 days of the last dose was 4.7% on the OPDIVO arm. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 47% of patients receiving OPDIVO. Study therapy was discontinued for adverse reactions in 16% of OPDIVO patients. Forty-four percent (44%) of patients receiving OPDIVO had a dose interruption for an adverse reaction.

The most frequent serious adverse reactions in at least 2% of patients were: acute kidney injury, pleural effusion, pneumonia, diarrhea, and hypercalcemia. The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were fatigue, cough, nausea, rash, dyspnea, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite, back pain, and arthralgia. The most common laboratory abnormalities which have worsened compared to baseline in ≥30% of patients include increased creatinine, lymphopenia, anemia, increased AST, increased alkaline phosphatase, hyponatremia, increased triglycerides, and hyperkalemia. In addition, among patients with TSH < ULN at baseline, a greater proportion of patients experienced a treatment-emergent elevation of TSH >ULN in the OPDIVO group compared to the everolimus group (26% and 14%, respectively).

Tables 27 and 28 summarize adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in CHECKMATE-025.

Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma

The safety of OPDIVO was evaluated in 266 adult patients with cHL (243 patients in the CHECKMATE-205 and 23 patients in the CHECKMATE-039 trials). Patients received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks until disease progression, maximal clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity.

The median age was 34 years (range: 18 to 72), 98% of patients had received autologous HSCT, none had received allogeneic HSCT, and 74% had received brentuximab vedotin. The median number of prior systemic regimens was 4 (range: 2 to 15). Patients received a median of 23 doses (cycles) of OPDIVO (range: 1 to 48), with a median duration of therapy of 11 months (range: 0 to 23 months).

Eleven patients died from causes other than disease progression: 3 from adverse reactions within 30 days of the last nivolumab dose, 2 from infection 8 to 9 months after completing nivolumab, and 6 from complications of allogeneic HSCT. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 26% of patients. Dose delay for an adverse reaction occurred in 34% of patients. OPDIVO was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 7% of patients.

The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in ≥1% of patients were pneumonia, infusionrelated reaction, pyrexia, colitis or diarrhea, pleural effusion, pneumonitis, and rash. The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) among all patients were upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue, cough, diarrhea, pyrexia, musculoskeletal pain, rash, nausea, and pruritus.

Additional information regarding clinically important adverse reactions:

Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis

In CHECKMATE-205 and CHECKMATE-039, pneumonitis, including interstitial lung disease, occurred in 6.0% (16/266) of patients receiving OPDIVO. Immune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 4.9% (13/266) of patients receiving OPDIVO (one Grade 3 and 12 Grade 2). The median time to onset was 4.5 months (range: 5 days to 12 months). All 13 patients received systemic corticosteroids, with resolution in 12. Four patients permanently discontinued OPDIVO due to pneumonitis. Eight patients continued OPDIVO (three after dose delay), of whom two had recurrence of pneumonitis.

Peripheral Neuropathy

Treatment-emergent peripheral neuropathy was reported in 12% (31/266) of all patients receiving OPDIVO. Twenty-eight patients (11%) had new-onset peripheral neuropathy and 3 patients had worsening of neuropathy from baseline. The median time to onset was 50 (range: 1 to 309) days.

Complications Of Allogeneic HSCT After OPDIVO

Of 17 patients with cHL from the CHECKMATE-205 and CHECKMATE-039 trials who underwent allogeneic HSCT after treatment with OPDIVO, 6 patients (35%) died from transplant-related complications. Five deaths occurred in the setting of severe (Grade 3 to 4) or refractory GVHD. Hyperacute GVHD occurred in 2 patients (12%) and Grade 3 or higher GVHD was reported in 5 patients (29%). Hepatic VOD occurred in 1 patient, who received reduced-intensity conditioned allogeneic HSCT and died of GVHD and multi-organ failure.

Table 30 summarizes laboratory abnormalities in patients with cHL. The most common (≥20%) treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities included cytopenias, liver function abnormalities, and increased lipase. Other common findings (≥10%) included increased creatinine, electrolyte abnormalities, and increased amylase.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma Of The Head And Neck

The safety of OPDIVO was evaluated in CHECKMATE-141, a randomized, active-controlled, open-label, multicenter trial in patients with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN with progression during or within 6 months of receiving prior platinum-based therapy. The trial excluded patients with active autoimmune disease, medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression, or recurrent or metastatic carcinoma of the nasopharynx, squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary histology, salivary gland or non-squamous histologies (e.g., mucosal melanoma). Patients received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks (n=236) or investigator’s choice of either 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). The median duration of exposure to nivolumab was 1.9 months (range: 1 day to 16.1+ months) in OPDIVO-treated patients. In this trial, 18% of patients received OPDIVO for >6 months and 2.5% of patients received OPDIVO for >1 year.

The median age of all randomized patients was 60 years (range: 28 to 83); 28% of patients in the OPDIVO group were ≥65 years of age and 37% in the comparator group were ≥65 years of age, 83% were male and 83% were White, 12% were Asian, and 4% were Black. Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (20%) or 1 (78%), 45% of patients received only one prior line of systemic therapy, the remaining 55% of patients had two or more prior lines of therapy, and 90% had prior radiation therapy.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 49% of patients receiving OPDIVO. OPDIVO was discontinued in 14% of patients and was delayed in 24% of patients for an adverse reaction. Adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities occurring in patients with SCCHN were generally similar to those occurring in patients with melanoma and NSCLC.

The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in ≥2% of patients receiving OPDIVO were pneumonia, dyspnea, respiratory failure, respiratory tract infection, and sepsis. The most common adverse reactions occurring in ≥10% of OPDIVO-treated patients and at a higher incidence than investigator’s choice were cough and dyspnea. The most common laboratory abnormalities occurring in ≥10% of OPDIVO-treated patients and at a higher incidence than investigator’s choice were increased alkaline phosphatase, increased amylase, hypercalcemia, hyperkalemia, and increased TSH.

Adjuvant Treatment Of Urothelial Carcinoma

The safety of OPDIVO was evaluated in CHECKMATE-274, a randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial of adjuvant OPDIVO versus placebo in adult patients who had undergone radical resection of UC originating in the bladder or upper urinary tract (renal pelvis or ureter) and were at high risk of recurrence.Patients received OPDIVO 240 mg by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 2 weeks (n=351) or placebo (n=348) until recurrence or unacceptable toxicity for a maximum of 1 year. The median duration of OPDIVO treatment was 8.8 months (range: 0 to 12.5).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 30% of OPDIVO patients. The most frequent serious adverse reaction reported in ≥2% of patients was urinary tract infection. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1% of patients; these included events of pneumonitis (0.6%). OPDIVO was discontinued for adverse reactions in 18% of patients. OPDIVO was delayed for adverse reaction in 33% of patients.

The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥20% of patients) were rash, fatigue, diarrhea, pruritus, musculoskeletal pain, and urinary tract infection.

Advanced Or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

The safety of OPDIVO was evaluated in CHECKMATE-275, a single arm trial in which 270 patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma had disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy or had disease progression within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy . Patients received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of treatment was 3.3 months (range: 0 to 13.4+). Forty-six percent (46%) of patients had a dose interruption for an adverse reaction.

Fourteen patients (5.2%) died from causes other than disease progression. This includes 4 patients (1.5%) who died from pneumonitis or cardiovascular failure which was attributed to treatment with OPDIVO. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 54% of patients. OPDIVO was discontinued for adverse reactions in 17% of patients.

The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in ≥2% of patients were urinary tract infection, sepsis, diarrhea, small intestine obstruction, and general physical health deterioration. The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥20% of patients) were fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, and decreased appetite.

MSI-H Or dMMR Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The safety of OPDIVO administered as a single agent or in combination with ipilimumab was evaluated in CHECKMATE-142, a multicenter, non-randomized, multiple parallel-cohort, openlabel trial. In CHECKMATE-142, 74 patients with mCRC received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks until disease progression or until intolerable toxicity and 119 patients with mCRC received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg and ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks for 4 doses, then OPDIVO 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks until disease progression or until unacceptable toxicity.

In the OPDIVO with ipilimumab cohort, serious adverse reactions occurred in 47% of patients. Treatment was discontinued in 13% of patients and delayed in 45% of patients for an adverse reaction. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in ≥2% of patients were colitis/diarrhea, hepatic events, abdominal pain, acute kidney injury, pyrexia, and dehydration. The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥20% of patients) were fatigue, diarrhea, pyrexia, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, pruritus, nausea, rash, decreased appetite, and vomiting.

Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of exposure was 2.6 months (range: 0 to 29.2 months) in OPDIVO-treated patients and 2.6 months (range: 0 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%).

Patients were randomized to receive OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy or chemotherapy. Patients received one of the following treatments:

OPDIVO 240 mg in combination with mFOLFOX6 (fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin) every 2 weeks or mFOLFOX6 every 2 weeks.
OPDIVO 360 mg in combination with CapeOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) every 3 weeks or CapeOX every 3 weeks.

Patients were treated with OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy or chemotherapy until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to 2 years. The median duration of exposure was 6.8 months (range: 0 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 45 and 46 summarize the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in CHECKMATE-649.

^a Each test incidence is based on the number of patients who had both baseline and at least one on-study laboratory measurement available: OPDIVO and mFOLFOX6 or CapeOX group (407 to 767 patients) or mFOLFOX6 or CapeOX group (range: 405 to 735 patients).

Immunogenicity

As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a 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 a single agent at dose of 3 mg/kg every 2 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 3 mg/kg followed by ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks, 36.7% (180/491) and 25.7% (69/269) with OPDIVO 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks and ipilimumab 1 mg every 6 weeks in non-small cell lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma patients, respectively, and 38% (149/394) with OPDIVO 1 mg/kg followed by ipilimumab 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks. The incidence of neutralizing antibodies against nivolumab was 0.8% (4/516) with OPDIVO 3 mg/kg followed by ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks, 1.4% (7/491) and 0.7% (2/269) with OPDIVO 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks and ipilimumab 1 mg every 6 weeks in non-small cell lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma patients, respectively, and 4.6% (18/394) with OPDIVO 1 mg/kg followed by ipilimumab 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks.

Of the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were treated with OPDIVO and ipilimumab every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by OPDIVO every 2 weeks and were evaluable for the presence of anti-nivolumab antibodies, the incidence of anti-nivolumab antibodies was 45% (20/44) with OPDIVO 3 mg/kg followed by ipilimumab 1 mg/kg and 56% (27/48) with OPDIVO 1 mg/kg followed by ipilimumab 3 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 3 weeks in combination with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 6 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.

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of OPDIVO. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Eye: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) Syndrome

Complications Of OPDIVO Treatment After Allogeneic HSCT

Treatment refractory, severe acute and chronic GVHD

Blood And Lymphatic System Disorders: hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) (including fatal cases), autoimmune hemolytic anemia (including fatal cases)
