The data in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 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 [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . 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/m 2 intravenously every 3 weeks or carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min and paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2 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. Table 5: Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥10% of OPDIVO-Treated Patients and at a Higher Incidence than in the Chemotherapy Arm (Between Arm Difference of ≥5% All Grades or ≥2% Grades 3-4) - CHECKMATE-037 Toxicity was graded per NCI CTCAE v4. a Includes maculopapular rash, erythematous rash, pruritic rash, follicular rash, macular rash, papular rash, pustular rash, vesicular rash, and acneiform dermatitis. b Includes rhinitis, pharyngitis, and nasopharyngitis.

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/m 2 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-glutamyl transferase (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. Tables 7 and 8 summarize selected adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in CHECKMATE-066.

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.

CHECKMATE-9ER The safety of OPDIVO with cabozantinib was evaluated in CHECKMATE-9ER, a randomized, open-label study in patients with previously untreated advanced RCC. Patients received OPDIVO 240 mg over 30 minutes every 2 weeks with cabozantinib 40 mg orally once daily (n=320) or sunitinib 50 mg daily, administered orally for 4 weeks on treatment followed by 2 weeks off (n=320) [see Clinical Studies (14.6) ] . Cabozantinib could be interrupted or reduced to 20 mg daily or 20 mg every other day. The median duration of treatment was 14 months (range: 0.2 to 27 months) in OPDIVO and cabozantinib-treated patients. In this trial, 82% of patients in the OPDIVO and cabozantinib arm were exposed to treatment for >6 months and 60% of patients were exposed to treatment for >1 year. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 48% of patients receiving OPDIVO and cabozantinib. The most frequent (≥2%) serious adverse reactions were diarrhea, pneumonia, pneumonitis, pulmonary embolism, urinary tract infection, and hyponatremia. Fatal intestinal perforations occurred in 3 (0.9%) patients. Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of either OPDIVO or cabozantinib occurred in 20% of patients: 7% OPDIVO only, 8% cabozantinib only, and 6% both drugs due to same adverse reaction at the same time. Adverse reaction leading to dose interruption or reduction of either OPDIVO or cabozantinib occurred in 83% of patients: 3% OPDIVO only, 46% cabozantinib only, and 21% both drugs due to same adverse reaction at the same time, and 6% both drugs sequentially. The most common adverse reactions reported in ≥20% of patients treated with OPDIVO and cabozantinib were diarrhea, fatigue, hepatotoxicity, palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome, stomatitis, rash, hypertension, hypothyroidism, musculoskeletal pain, decreased appetite, nausea, dysgeusia, abdominal pain, cough, and upper respiratory tract infection.

The median duration of treatment was 5.5 months (range: 1 day to 29.6+ months) in OPDIVO-treated 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).

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, infusion-related 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.

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.

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/m 2 initial dose intravenously followed by 250 mg/m 2 weekly), or methotrexate (40 to 60 mg/m 2 intravenously weekly), or docetaxel (30 to 40 mg/m 2 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 [see Clinical Studies (14.9) ] . 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.

Clinical Pharmacology

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 T 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 a 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. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics There are no clinically significant exposure-response relationships for efficacy or safety for nivolumab monotherapy, and in combination with ipilimumab and/or chemotherapy, over the approved dosing regimens, regardless of cancer type. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Nivolumab pharmacokinetics (PK) was assessed using a population PK approach for both single-agent OPDIVO and OPDIVO with ipilimumab. The PK of nivolumab was studied in patients over a dose range of 0.1 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg administered as a single dose or as multiple doses of OPDIVO as a 60-minute intravenous infusion every 2 or 3 weeks. The exposure to nivolumab increases dose proportionally over the dose range of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg administered every 2 weeks. The predicted exposure of nivolumab after a 30-minute infusion is comparable to that observed with a 60-minute infusion. Steady-state concentrations of nivolumab were reached by 12 weeks when administered at 3 mg/kg every 2 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 L (27.3%). Elimination Nivolumab clearance (CL) decreases over time, with a mean maximal reduction from baseline values (CV%) of 24.5% (47.6%) resulting in a 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 (t 1/2 ) 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 m 2 ), and mild (total bilirubin [TB] less than or equal to the ULN and AST greater than ULN or TB greater than 1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) or moderate hepatic impairment (TB greater than 1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST). Nivolumab has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (TB greater than 3 times ULN and any AST). Pediatric Patients The exposures of nivolumab in pediatric patients 12 years of age or older are comparable to those in adults at the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Drug Interaction Studies When OPDIVO 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks, the CL of nivolumab and ipilimumab were unchanged compared to nivolumab or ipilimumab administered alone. When OPDIVO 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab 3 mg/kg every 3 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 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 6 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 3 weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 6 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. 12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of OPDIVO or of other nivolumab products. Anti-drug antibody and neutralizing antibody responses were monitored throughout the treatment period where the benefit to risk ratio was assessed. Incidence of anti-drug antibodies and neutralizing antibodies are presented in Table 49. Table 49: OPDIVO Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) and Neutralizing Antibody (NAb) Incidence a Details of each treatment regimen are described in Section 14 [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . b NAb incidence is reported among the subset of patients positive for ADA. c Includes unresectable or metastatic melanoma, metastatic NSCLC, advanced RCC, cHL, recurrent or metastatic SCCHN, and UC indications.

These anti-drug antibody-associated pharmacokinetic changes were not considered to be clinically significant. There was no identified clinically significant effect of anti-drug antibodies on incidence of infusion-related reactions. The effects of anti-drug antibodies on effectiveness have not been fully characterized.

Nivolumab has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (TB greater than 3 times ULN and any AST). Pediatric Patients The exposures of nivolumab in pediatric patients 12 years of age or older are comparable to those in adults at the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Drug Interaction Studies When OPDIVO 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks was administered in combination with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks, the CL of nivolumab and ipilimumab were unchanged compared to nivolumab or ipilimumab administered alone.

Animal Pharmacology And Or Toxicology

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 And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility

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.

MEDICATION GUIDE OPDIVO ® (op-DEE-voh) (nivolumab) Injection Read 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 ® ), 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 I should know about OPDIVO? OPDIVO is a 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. • new or worsening cough • shortness of breath • chest pain Intestinal problems. • diarrhea (loose stools) or more frequent bowel movements than usual • stools that are black, tarry, sticky, or have blood or mucus • severe stomach-area (abdominal) pain or tenderness Liver problems. • yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes • severe nausea or vomiting • pain on the right side of your stomach area (abdomen) • dark urine (tea colored) • bleeding or bruising more easily than normal Hormone gland problems. • headaches that will not go away or unusual headaches • eye sensitivity to light • eye problems • rapid heartbeat • increased sweating • extreme tiredness • weight gain or weight loss • feeling more hungry or thirsty than usual • urinating more often than usual • hair loss • feeling cold • constipation • your voice gets deeper • dizziness or fainting • changes in mood or behavior, such as decreased sex drive, irritability, or forgetfulness Kidney problems. • decrease in your amount of urine • blood in your urine • swelling of your ankles • loss of appetite Skin problems. • rash • itching • skin blistering or peeling • painful sore or ulcers in mouth or nose, throat, or genital area Problems 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: • Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath or swelling of ankles • Confusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems, tingling or numbness of the arms or legs • Double vision, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain, changes in eyesight • Persistent or severe muscle pain or weakness, muscle cramps • Low red blood cells, bruising Getting 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 OPDIVO? OPDIVO is a prescription medicine used to treat: • adults and children 12 years of age and older with a type of skin cancer called melanoma: o OPDIVO may be used alone or in combination with ipilimumab to treat melanoma that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery (advanced melanoma), or o OPDIVO may be used alone to help prevent Stage IIB, Stage IIC, Stage III or Stage IV melanoma from coming back after it has been completely removed by surgery. • adults with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). o OPDIVO may be used in combination with chemotherapy that contains platinum and another chemotherapy medicine before you have surgery for early-stage NSCLC. o OPDIVO may be used in combination with ipilimumab as your first treatment for NSCLC: ▪ when your lung cancer has spread to other parts of your body (metastatic), and ▪ your tumors are positive for PD-L1, but do not have an abnormal EGFR or ALK gene. o OPDIVO may be used in combination with ipilimumab and 2 cycles of chemotherapy that contains platinum and another chemotherapy medicine, as the first treatment of your NSCLC when your lung cancer: ▪ has spread or grown, or comes back, and ▪ your tumor does not have an abnormal EGFR or ALK gene. o OPDIVO may be used when your lung cancer: ▪ has spread or grown, and ▪ you have tried chemotherapy that contains platinum, and it did not work or is no longer working. ▪ If your tumor has an abnormal EGFR or ALK gene, you should have also tried an FDA-approved therapy for tumors with these abnormal genes, and it did not work or is no

    What is the most important information I should know about OPDIVO?

    OPDIVO is a 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.

  • new or worsening cough
  • shortness of breath
  • chest pain
  • Intestinal problems.

  • rash
  • itching
  • skin blistering or peeling
  • painful sore or ulcers in mouth or nose, throat, or genital area
  • Problems 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:

  • Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath or swelling of ankles
  • Confusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems, tingling or numbness of the arms or legs

    Clinical Studies

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma Previously Treated Metastatic Melanoma CHECKMATE-037 (NCT01721746) was a multicenter, open-label trial that randomized (2:1) patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma to receive OPDIVO 3 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks or investigator’s choice of chemotherapy, either single-agent dacarbazine 1000 mg/m 2 every 3 weeks or the combination of carboplatin AUC 6 intravenously every 3 weeks and paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2 intravenously every 3 weeks. Patients were required to have progression of disease on or following ipilimumab treatment and, if BRAF V600 mutation positive, a BRAF inhibitor. The trial excluded patients with autoimmune disease, medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression, ocular melanoma, active brain metastasis, or a history of Grade 4 ipilimumab-related 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. Tumor assessments were conducted 9 weeks after randomization then every 6 weeks for the first year, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Efficacy was evaluated in a 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 6 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 0 (58%) or 1 (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 4 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 6 months or longer. There were responses in patients with and without BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma. A 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 investigator’s choice of treatment. Figure 1 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.jpg Previously Untreated Metastatic Melanoma CHECKMATE-066 CHECKMATE-066 (NCT01721772) was a 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 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks or dacarbazine 1000 mg/m 2 intravenously every 3 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 M 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 6 weeks prior to randomization; ECOG performance status 0 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 9 weeks after randomization then every 6 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 0 (71% vs. 58%). CHECKMATE-066 demonstrated a 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 6 months or longer. Efficacy results are shown in Table 50 and Figure 2.

Patients were required to have completed adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment at least 6 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: • OPDIVO 1 mg/kg with ipilimumab 3 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 (OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm), • OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks (OPDIVO arm), or • Ipilimumab 3 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 doses, followed by placebo every 2 weeks (ipilimumab arm). Randomization was stratified by PD-L1 expression (≥5% vs. <5% tumor cell membrane expression) as determined by a clinical trial assay, BRAF V600 mutation status, and M stage per the AJCC staging system (M0, M1a, M1b vs. M1c). Tumor assessments were conducted 12 weeks after randomization then every 6 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 0 (73%) or 1 (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 a single agent. Efficacy results are shown in Table 51 and Figure 3.

The median OS was 36.9 months (95% CI: 28.3, NR) in the OPDIVO arm and 19.9 months (95% CI: 16.9, 24.6) in the ipilimumab arm. Based on a minimum follow-up of 28 months, the median PFS was 11.7 months (95% CI: 8.9, 21.9) in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm, 6.9 months (95% CI: 4.3, 9.5) in the OPDIVO arm, and 2.9 months (95% CI: 2.8, 3.2) in the ipilimumab arm. Based on a minimum follow-up of 28 months, the proportion of responses lasting ≥ 24 months was 55% in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm, 56% in the OPDIVO arm, and 39% in the ipilimumab arm. opdivo-os-checkmate-067.jpg 14.2 Adjuvant Treatment of Melanoma CHECKMATE-76K CHECKMATE-76K (NCT04099251) was a randomized, double-blind trial in 790 patients with completely resected Stage IIB/C melanoma. Patients were randomized (2:1) to receive OPDIVO 480 mg or placebo by intravenous infusion every 4 weeks for up to 1 year or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity. Enrollment required complete resection of the primary melanoma with negative margins and a negative sentinel lymph node within 12 weeks prior to randomization, and ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The trial excluded patients with ocular/uveal or mucosal melanoma, autoimmune disease, 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. Randomization was stratified by AJCC 8 th staging system edition (T3b vs. T4a vs. T4b). 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 occurred first and as assessed by the investigator. Tumor assessments were conducted every 26 weeks during years 1-3 and every 52 weeks thereafter until year 5. The trial population characteristics were: median age 62 years (range: 19 to 92), 61% were male, 98% were White, 0.4% Black or African American, 0.1% Asian, and 1.1% race unknown, 2.2% Hispanic or Latino, 58% Not Hispanic or Latino, 40% ethnicity unknown, and 94% had an ECOG performance status of 0. Sixty one percent had stage IIB and 39% had stage IIC melanoma. CHECKMATE-76K demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in RFS for patients randomized to the OPDIVO arm compared with the placebo arm. Efficacy results are shown in Table 52 and Figure 4.

Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks or ipilimumab 10 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 doses then every 12 weeks beginning at Week 24 for up to 1 year. Enrollment required complete resection of melanoma with margins negative for disease within 12 weeks prior to randomization. The trial excluded patients with a 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 2 years then every 6 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 a statistically significant improvement in RFS for patients randomized to the OPDIVO arm compared with the ipilimumab 10 mg/kg arm.

The trial included patients with resectable, histologically confirmed Stage IB (≥4 cm), II, or IIIA NSCLC (per the 7th edition American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control (AJCC/UICC) staging criteria), ECOG performance status 0 or 1, and measurable disease (per RECIST version 1.1). Patients with unresectable or metastatic NSCLC, known EGFR mutations or ALK translocations, Grade 2 or greater peripheral neuropathy, active autoimmune disease, or medical conditions requiring systemic immunosuppression were excluded from the study. Patients were randomized to receive either: • OPDIVO 360 mg administered intravenously over 30 minutes and platinum-doublet chemotherapy administered intravenously every 3 weeks for up to 3 cycles, or • platinum-doublet chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks for up to 3 cycles. Platinum-doublet chemotherapy consisted of paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2 or 200 mg/m 2 and carboplatin AUC 5 or AUC 6 (any histology); pemetrexed 500 mg/m 2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m 2 (non-squamous histology); or gemcitabine 1000 mg/m 2 or 1250 mg/m 2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m 2 (squamous histology). In the platinum-doublet chemotherapy arm, two additional treatment regimen options included vinorelbine 25 mg/m 2 or 30 mg/m 2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m 2 ; or docetaxel 60 mg/m 2 or 75 mg/m 2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m 2 (any histology). Stratification factors for randomization were tumor PD-L1 expression level (≥1% versus <1% or non-quantifiable), disease stage (IB/II versus IIIA), and sex (male versus female). Tumor assessments were performed at baseline, within 14 days of surgery, every 12 weeks after surgery for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years, and every year for 5 years until disease recurrence or progression. The major efficacy outcome measures were event-free survival (EFS) based on BICR assessment and pathologic complete response (pCR) as evaluated by blinded independent pathology review (BIPR). Additional efficacy outcome measures included OS. A total of 358 patients were randomized to receive either OPDIVO in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy (n=179) or platinum-doublet chemotherapy (n=179). The median age was 65 years (range: 34 to 84) with 51% of patients ≥65 years and 7% of patients ≥75 years, 50% were Asian, 47% were White, 2% were Black, and 71% were male. Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (67%) or 1 (33%); 50% had tumors with PD-L1 expression ≥1%; 35% had stage IB/II and 64% had stage IIIA disease; 51% had tumors with squamous histology and 49% had tumors with non-squamous histology; and 89% were former/current smokers. Eighty-three percent of patients in the OPDIVO in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy arm had definitive surgery compared to 75% of patients in the platinum-doublet chemotherapy arm. The study demonstrated statistically significant improvements in EFS and pCR. Efficacy results are presented in Table 54 and Figure 6.

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 [IASLC] classification), ECOG performance status 0 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 2 weeks prior to enrolment, and either off corticosteroids, or on a 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 a central laboratory. Randomization was stratified by tumor histology (non-squamous versus squamous). The evaluation of efficacy relied on the comparison between: • OPDIVO 3 mg/kg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every 2 weeks in combination with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every 6 weeks; or • Platinum-doublet chemotherapy Chemotherapy regimens consisted of pemetrexed (500 mg/m 2 ) and cisplatin (75 mg/m 2 ) or pemetrexed (500 mg/m 2 ) and carboplatin (AUC 5 or 6) for non-squamous NSCLC or gemcitabine (1000 or 1250 mg/m 2 ) and cisplatin (75 mg/m 2 ) or gemcitabine (1000 mg/m 2 ) and carboplatin (AUC 5) (gemcitabine was administered on Days 1 and 8 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 a 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 a single agent. Tumor assessments were performed every 6 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, a 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 0 (34%) or 1 (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 a statistically significant improvement in OS for PD-L1 ≥1% patients randomized to the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm compared with the platinum-doublet chemotherapy arm. The OS results are presented in Table 55 and Figure 7. Table 55: Efficacy Results (PD-L1 ≥1%) - CHECKMATE-227 Part 1a a Kaplan-Meier estimate. b Based on a stratified Cox proportional hazard model.

The BICR-assessed confirmed ORR was 36% (95% CI: 31, 41) in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm and 30% (95% CI: 26, 35) in the platinum-doublet chemotherapy arm. Median duration of response observed in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm was 23.2 months and 6.2 months in the platinum-doublet chemotherapy arm. opdivo-os-checkmate-227.jpg First-line Treatment of Metastatic or Recurrent NSCLC: In Combination with Ipilimumab and Platinum-Doublet Chemotherapy CHECKMATE-9LA (NCT03215706) was a 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 0 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: • OPDIVO 360 mg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every 3 weeks, ipilimumab 1 mg/kg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every 6 weeks, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy administered intravenously every 3 weeks for 2 cycles, or • platinum-doublet chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. Platinum-doublet chemotherapy consisted of either carboplatin (AUC 5 or 6) and pemetrexed 500 mg/m 2 , or cisplatin 75 mg/m 2 and pemetrexed 500 mg/m 2 for non-squamous NSCLC; or carboplatin (AUC 6) and paclitaxel 200 mg/m 2 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 2 years. Treatment could continue beyond disease progression if a 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 a single agent as part of the study. Tumor assessments were performed every 6 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 0 (31%) or 1 (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.

Figure 8: Overall Survival - CHECKMATE-9LA opdivo-os-checkmate-9la.jpg Second-line Treatment of Metastatic Squamous NSCLC CHECKMATE-017 (NCT01642004) was a randomized (1:1), open-label trial in 272 patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC who had experienced disease progression during or after one prior platinum doublet-based chemotherapy regimen. Patients received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks (n=135) or docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 intravenously every 3 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 2 weeks prior to enrollment, and either off corticosteroids, or on a stable or decreasing dose of <10 mg daily prednisone equivalents. The first tumor assessments were conducted 9 weeks after randomization and continued every 6 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 0 (24%) or 1 (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%). All patients received prior therapy with a platinum-doublet regimen and 99% of patients had tumors of squamous-cell histology. The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to OPDIVO as compared with docetaxel at the prespecified interim analysis when 199 events were observed (86% of the planned number of events for final analysis).

Across the trial population, 17% of 272 patients had non-quantifiable results. Among the 225 patients with quantifiable results, 47% had PD-L1 negative squamous NSCLC, defined as <1% of tumor cells expressing PD-L1 and 53% had PD-L1 positive squamous NSCLC defined as ≥1% of tumor cells expressing PD-L1. In pre-specified exploratory subgroup analyses, the hazard ratios for survival were 0.58 (95% CI: 0.37, 0.92) in the PD-L1 negative subgroup and 0.69 (95% CI: 0.45, 1.05) in the PD-L1 positive subgroup. opdivo-os-checkmate-017.jpg Second-line Treatment of Metastatic Non-Squamous NSCLC CHECKMATE-057 (NCT01673867) was a randomized (1:1), open-label trial in 582 patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who had experienced disease progression during or after one prior platinum doublet-based chemotherapy regimen. Appropriate prior targeted therapy in patients with known sensitizing EGFR mutation or ALK translocation was allowed. Patients received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks (n=292) or docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 intravenously every 3 weeks (n=290). Randomization was stratified by prior maintenance therapy (yes vs. no) and number of prior therapies (1 vs. 2). 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 stable. The first tumor assessments were conducted 9 weeks after randomization and continued every 6 weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measure was OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures were investigator-assessed ORR and PFS. In addition, prespecified analyses were conducted in subgroups defined by PD-L1 expression. The trial population characteristics: median age was 62 years (range: 21 to 85) with 42% of patients ≥65 years and 7% of patients ≥75 years. The majority of patients were White (92%) and male (55%); the majority of patients were enrolled in Europe (46%) followed by the US/Canada (37%) and the rest of the world (17%). Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (31%) or 1 (69%), 79% were former/current smokers, 3.6% had NSCLC with ALK rearrangement, 14% had NSCLC with EGFR mutation, and 12% had previously treated brain metastases. Prior therapy included platinum-doublet regimen (100%) and 40% received maintenance therapy as part of the first-line regimen. Histologic subtypes included adenocarcinoma (93%), large cell (2.4%), and bronchoalveolar (0.9%). CHECKMATE-057 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to OPDIVO as compared with docetaxel at the prespecified interim analysis when 413 events were observed (93% of the planned number of events for final analysis).

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: • OPDIVO 3 mg/kg over 30 minutes by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks and ipilimumab 1 mg/kg over 30 minutes by intravenous infusion every 6 weeks for up to 2 years, or • cisplatin 75 mg/m 2 and pemetrexed 500 mg/m 2 , or carboplatin 5 AUC and pemetrexed 500 mg/m 2 administered every 3 weeks for 6 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 2 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 a single agent. Treatment could continue beyond disease progression if a patient was clinically stable and was considered to be deriving clinical benefit by the investigator. Tumor assessments were performed every 6 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 0 (40%) or 1 (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 a statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab compared to chemotherapy. Efficacy results from the prespecified interim analysis are presented in Table 59 and Figure 13.

In the subgroup of patients with non-epithelioid histology, the HR for OS was 0.46 (95% CI: 0.31, 0.70), with median OS of 16.9 months in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab arm and 8.8 months in the chemotherapy arm. opdivo-os-checkmate-743.jpg 14.6 Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma First-line Renal Cell Carcinoma CHECKMATE-214 CHECKMATE-214 (NCT02231749) was a randomized (1:1), open-label trial in patients with previously untreated advanced RCC. 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 1 or more of 6 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 3 mg/kg and ipilimumab 1 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by OPDIVO 3 mg/kg intravenously every two weeks (n=425), or sunitinib 50 mg orally daily for the first 4 weeks of a 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 a 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 60 and Figure 14). OS benefit was observed regardless of PD-L1 expression level. The trial did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in PFS. Efficacy results are shown in Table 60 and Figure 14.

These patients were not evaluated as part of the efficacy analysis population. OS in favorable risk patients receiving OPDIVO and ipilimumab compared to sunitinib has a hazard ratio of 1.45 (95% CI: 0.75, 2.81). The efficacy of OPDIVO and ipilimumab in previously untreated renal cell carcinoma with favorable-risk disease has not been established. CHECKMATE-9ER CHECKMATE-9ER (NCT03141177) was a randomized, open-label study of OPDIVO combined with cabozantinib versus sunitinib in patients with previously untreated advanced RCC. 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 2 weeks and cabozantinib 40 mg orally daily (n=323), or sunitinib 50 mg orally daily for the first 4 weeks of a 6-week cycle (4 weeks on treatment followed by 2 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 6 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 a 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 a 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. An updated OS analysis was conducted when 271 deaths were observed based on the pre-specified number of deaths for the pre-planned final analysis of OS. Efficacy results are shown in Table 61 and Figures 15 and 16.

Previously Treated Renal Cell Carcinoma CHECKMATE-025 CHECKMATE-025 (NCT01668784) was a randomized (1:1), open-label trial in patients with advanced RCC who had experienced disease progression during or after one or two prior anti-angiogenic therapy regimens. Patients had to have a 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 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks (n=410) or everolimus 10 mg orally daily (n=411). The first tumor assessments were conducted 8 weeks after randomization and continued every 8 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 a 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 a 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. Efficacy results are shown in Table 62 and Figure 17.

CHECKMATE-205 (NCT02181738) was a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, multicohort trial in cHL. 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 2 or greater, autoimmune disease, symptomatic interstitial lung disease, hepatic transaminases more than 3 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 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks until disease progression, maximal clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity. A 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 a median of 5 prior systemic regimens (range: 2 to 15).

The analysis included the group described above. The median age was 34 years (range: 18 to 72). The majority were male (59%) and White (86%). Patients had a median of 4 prior systemic regimens (range: 2 to 15), with 85% having 3 or more prior systemic regimens and 76% having prior brentuximab vedotin. Of the 195 patients having prior brentuximab vedotin, 17% received it only before autologous HSCT, 78% received it only after HSCT, and 5% received it both before and after HSCT. Patients received a median of 21 doses of OPDIVO (range: 1 to 48), with a median duration of therapy of 10 months (range: 0 to 23 months). Efficacy results are shown in Table 64.

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 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks or investigator’s choice of cetuximab (400 mg/m 2 initial dose intravenously followed by 250 mg/m 2 weekly), or methotrexate (40 to 60 mg/m 2 intravenously weekly), or docetaxel (30 to 40 mg/m 2 intravenously weekly). Randomization was stratified by prior cetuximab treatment (yes/no). The first tumor assessments were conducted 9 weeks after randomization and continued every 6 weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measure was OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures were PFS and ORR. A total of 361 patients were randomized; 240 patients to the OPDIVO arm and 121 patients to the investigator’s 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 0 (20%) or 1 (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 a statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to OPDIVO as compared with investigator’s choice at a 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 investigator’s choice, respectively). Efficacy results are shown in Table 65 and Figure 18.

Across the trial population, 28% (101/361) of patients had non-quantifiable results. Among the 260 patients with quantifiable results, 43% (111/260) had PD-L1 negative SCCHN, defined as <1% of tumor cells expressing PD-L1, and 57% (149/260) had PD-L1 positive SCCHN, defined as ≥1% of tumor cells expressing PD-L1. In pre-specified exploratory subgroup analyses, the hazard ratio for survival was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.54, 1.45) with median survivals of 5.7 and 5.8 months for the nivolumab and chemotherapy arms, respectively, in the PD-L1 negative subgroup. The HR for survival was 0.55 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.83) with median survivals of 8.7 and 4.6 months for the nivolumab and chemotherapy arms, respectively, in the PD-L1 positive SCCHN subgroup. opdivo-os-checkmate-141.jpg 14.9 Urothelial Carcinoma Adjuvant Treatment of Urothelial Carcinoma (UC) at High Risk of Recurrence CHECKMATE-274 (NCT02632409) was a 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 2 weeks until recurrence or until unacceptable toxicity for a maximum treatment duration of 1 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 (1. Patients received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or either radiographic or clinical progression. Tumor response assessments were conducted every 8 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 a 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 a 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 67. 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%).

Key eligibility criteria were at least one prior line of treatment for metastatic disease, ECOG performance status 0 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 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion (IV) every 2 weeks. Patients enrolled in the OPDIVO and ipilimumab MSI-H mCRC cohort received OPDIVO 3 mg/kg and 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 as intravenous infusion every 2 weeks. Treatment in both cohorts continued until unacceptable toxicity or radiographic progression. Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 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 0 (43%), 1 (55%), or 3 (1.4%) and 36% were reported to have Lynch Syndrome. Across the 74 patients, 72% received prior treatment with a 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 0 (45%) and 1 (55%), and 29% were reported to have Lynch Syndrome. Across the 119 patients, 69% had received prior treatment with a 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 68.

Additional eligibility criteria included histologic confirmation of HCC and Child-Pugh Class A cirrhosis. The trial excluded patients with active autoimmune disease, brain metastasis, a history of hepatic encephalopathy, clinically significant ascites, infection with HIV, or active co-infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) or HBV and hepatitis D virus (HDV); however, patients with only active HBV or HCV were eligible. Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 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 1 mg/kg and ipilimumab 3 mg/kg administered every 3 weeks for 4 doses, followed by single-agent OPDIVO at 240 mg every 2 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 0 (61%) or 1 (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 µg/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 2 or more prior systemic therapies. Efficacy results are shown in Table 69. The results for OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab in Cohort 4 are based on a minimum follow-up of 28 months.

Patients were randomized (2:1) to receive either OPDIVO 240 mg or placebo by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 2 weeks for 16 weeks followed by 480 mg or placebo by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 4 weeks beginning at week 17. Treatment was until disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity, or for up to 1 year in total duration. Enrollment required complete resection within 4 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 2 years, and a minimum of one scan every 6 to 12 months for years 3 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 0 (58%) or 1 (42%). CHECKMATE-577 demonstrated a 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 70 and Figure 20.

The trial enrolled patients whose tumor was evaluable for tumor cell (TC) PD-L1 expression [also called PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS)], which was evaluated using the PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx assay at a central laboratory. A retrospective scoring of a patient’s tumor PD-L1 status using Combined Positive Score (CPS), was also conducted using the PD-L1-stained tumor specimens used for randomization. Patients were not amenable to chemoradiation or surgery with curative intent. Prior treatment with curative intent was allowed if completed more than six months prior to trial enrollment. The trial excluded patients with brain metastasis that were symptomatic, had active autoimmune disease, used systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants, or patients at high risk of bleeding or fistula due to apparent invasion of tumor to organs adjacent to the esophageal tumor. Patients were randomized to receive one of the following treatments: • OPDIVO 240 mg on days 1 and 15, fluorouracil 800 mg/m 2 /day intravenously on days 1 through 5 (for 5 days), and cisplatin 80 mg/m 2 intravenously on day 1 (of a 4-week cycle). • OPDIVO 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks in combination with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks. • Fluorouracil 800 mg/m 2 /day intravenously on days 1 through 5 (for 5 days), and cisplatin 80 mg/m 2 intravenously on day 1 (of a 4-week cycle). Patients received OPDIVO until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to 2 years. In patients who received OPDIVO in combination with chemotherapy and in whom either fluorouracil and/or cisplatin were discontinued, other components of the treatment regimen were allowed to be continued. Patients who discontinued combination therapy because of an adverse reaction attributed to ipilimumab were permitted to continue OPDIVO as a single agent. Randomization was stratified by TC PD-L1 expression (≥1% vs. <1% or indeterminate), region (East Asia vs. Rest of Asia vs. Rest of World), ECOG performance status (0 vs. 1), and number of organs with metastases (≤1 vs. ≥2). The major efficacy outcome measures were OS and BICR-assessed PFS in patients with TC PD-L1 expression ≥ 1%. Additional efficacy measures included OS in all randomized patients, BICR-assessed PFS in all randomized patients, and ORR assessed by BICR in TC PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% and in all randomized patients. The tumor assessments per RECIST v1.1 were conducted every 6 weeks up to and including week 48, then every 12 weeks thereafter. A total of 970 patients were randomized in CHECKMATE-648 study among whom 965 and 906 patients had quantifiable TC PD-L1 expression and CPS at baseline, respectively. The trial population characteristics for all randomized patients were median age 64 years (range: 26 to 90), 47% were ≥65 years of age, 82.% were male, 71% were Asian, 26% were White, and 1.1% were Black. Patients had histological confirmation of squamous cell carcinoma (98%) or adenosquamous cell carcinoma (1.9%) in the esophagus. Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (47.0%) or 1 (53%).

OS results for each OPDIVO containing arm compared to chemotherapy were: • OPDIVO with Chemotherapy (n=163) vs. Chemotherapy (n=165): unstratified OS HR was 0.99 (95% CI: 0.76, 1.29) with median OS of 12 months (95% CI: 9.9, 15.5) on the OPDIVO with Chemotherapy arm and 12.2 months (95% CI: 10.7, 14) on the Chemotherapy arm • OPDIVO with Ipilimumab (n=164) vs. Chemotherapy (n=165): unstratified OS HR was 0.97 (95% CI: 0.74, 1.26) with median OS of 12 months (95% CI: 10.1, 16.0) on the OPDIVO with Ipilimumab arm and 12.2 months (95% CI: 10.7, 14) on the Chemotherapy arm Exploratory subgroup analyses were also conducted by PD-L1 status per CPS (≥1 and <1) for each OPDIVO containing arm compared to chemotherapy. Among the 906 patients with quantifiable PD-L1 CPS at baseline, 278 in the OPDIVO with chemotherapy arm, 266 in the OPDIVO with Ipilimumab arm, and 280 in the chemotherapy arm had PD-L1 CPS≥1. A total of 27 patients in the OPDIVO with chemotherapy arm, 31 patients in the OPDIVO with Ipilimumab arm, and 24 patients in the chemotherapy arm had PD-L1 CPS<1. OS results for each comparison by PD-L1 CPS status were: • OPDIVO with Chemotherapy vs. Chemotherapy: unstratified OS HR was 0.69 (95% CI: 0.56, 0.84) for PD-L1 CPS≥1 subgroup and 0.98 (95% CI: 0.50, 1.95) for PD-L1 CPS<1 subgroup. • OPDIVO with Ipilimumab vs. Chemotherapy: unstratified OS HR was 0.76 (95% CI: 0.62, 0.93) for PD-L1 CPS≥1 subgroup and 1.0 (95% CI: 0.52, 1.94) for PD-L1 CPS<1 subgroup. opdivo-os-checkmate-648-A opdivo-os-checkmate-648-B opdivo-pfs-checkmate-648-A opdivo-pfs-checkmate-648-B Previously Treated Unresectable Advanced, Recurrent or Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) ATTRACTION-3 (NCT02569242) was a multicenter, randomized (1:1), active-controlled, open-label trial in patients with unresectable advanced, recurrent, or metastatic ESCC, who were refractory or intolerant to at least one fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-based regimen. 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 a 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 2 weeks or investigator’s choice of taxane chemotherapy consisting of docetaxel (75 mg/m 2 intravenously every 3 weeks) or paclitaxel (100 mg/m 2 intravenously once a week for 6 weeks followed by 1 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 6 weeks for 1 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 investigator’s 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 0 (50%) or 1 (50%). ATTRACTION-3 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to OPDIVO as compared with investigator’s choice of taxane chemotherapy. OS benefit was observed regardless of PD-L1 expression level. The minimum follow-up was 17.6 months. Efficacy results are shown in Table 72 and Figure 23.

The remaining 52% had PD-L1 negative ESCC defined as <1% of tumor cells expressing PD-L1. In a pre-specified exploratory analysis by PD-L1 status, the hazard ratio (HR) for OS was 0.69 (95% CI: 0.51, 0.94) with median survivals of 10.9 and 8.1 months for the OPDIVO and investigator’s choice arms, respectively, in the PD-L1 positive subgroup. 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 investigator’s choice arms, respectively. opdivo-os-attraction-3.jpg 14.13 Gastric Cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma CHECKMATE-649 (NCT02872116) was a 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 a central laboratory. The trial excluded patients who were known human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (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: • 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 until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to 2 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 2 weeks, 360 mg every 3 weeks, or 480 mg every 4 weeks up to 2 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 6 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 0 (42%) or 1 (58%). Seventy percent of patients had adenocarcinoma tumors in the stomach, 16% in the gastroesophageal junction, and 13% in the esophagus. CHECKMATE-649 demonstrated a 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. Efficacy results are shown in Table 73 and Figures 24, 25, and 26.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use Single Agent Of 3569 patients with melanoma, NSCLC, renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, ESCC, and esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer who were randomized to single agent OPDIVO in clinical studies, 41% were 65 years and over and 10% were 75 years and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between elderly patients and younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.1 , 14.2 , 14.4 , 14.6 , 14.9 , 14.12) ]. In patients with cHL, recurrent head and neck SCC, or dMMR or MSI-H metastatic CRC (mCRC) who were treated with single agent OPDIVO in clinical studies did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.7, 14.8, 14.10) ]. In Combination with Ipilimumab Of the 314 patients with melanoma who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 41% were 65 years or older and 11% were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were reported between elderly patients and younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. Of the 576 patients with NSCLC who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 48% were 65 years or older and 10% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between older patients and younger patients; however, there was a higher discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions in patients aged 75 years or older (29%) relative to all patients who received OPDIVO with ipilimumab (18%). Of the 396 patients in the primary efficacy population (PD-L1 ≥1%) randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, the hazard ratio for overall survival was 0.70 (95% CI: 0.55, 0.89) in the 199 patients younger than 65 years compared to 0.91 (95% CI: 0.72, 1.15) in the 197 patients 65 years or older [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ]. Of the 303 patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 77% were 65 years old or older and 26% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between older patients and younger patients; however, there were higher rates of serious adverse reactions and discontinuation due to adverse reactions in patients aged 75 years or older (68% and 35%, respectively) relative to all patients who received OPDIVO with ipilimumab (54% and 28%, respectively). For patients aged 75 years or older who received chemotherapy, the rate of serious adverse reactions was 34% and the discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 26% relative to 28% and 19% respectively for all patients. The hazard ratio for overall survival was 0.76 (95% CI: 0.52, 1.11) in the 71 patients younger than 65 years compared to 0.74 (95% CI: 0.59, 0.93) in the 232 patients 65 years or older randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab [see Clinical Studies (14.5) ]. Of the 550 patients with renal cell carcinoma who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 38% were 65 years or older and 8% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between elderly patients and younger patients. In elderly patients with intermediate or poor risk, no overall difference in effectiveness was reported [see Clinical Studies (14.6) ]. Of the 49 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were treated with OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab , 29% were between 65 years and 74 years of age and 8% were 75 years or older. Clinical studies of OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab did not include sufficient numbers of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.11) ]. Of the 325 patients with ESCC who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 43% were 65 years old or older and 7% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between older patients and younger patients; however, there was a higher discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions in patients aged 75 years or older (38%) relative to all patients who received OPDIVO with ipilimumab (23%). For patients aged 75 years or older who received chemotherapy, the discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 33% relative to 23% for all patients [see Clinical Studies (14.12) ]. In Combination with Platinum-Doublet Chemotherapy Of the 179 patients with NSCLC who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy, 48% were 65 years old or older and 6% were 75 years old or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were reported between patients older and younger than 65 years [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ]. In Combination with Ipilimumab and Platinum-Doublet Chemotherapy Of the 361 patients with NSCLC who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy, 51% were 65 years or older and 10% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between older patients and younger patients; however, there was a higher discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions in patients aged 75 years or older (43%) relative to all patients who received OPDIVO with ipilimumab and chemotherapy (24%). For patients aged 75 years or older who received chemotherapy only, the discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 16% relative to all patients who had a discontinuation rate of 13%. Based on an updated analysis for overall survival, of the 361 patients randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy, the hazard ratio for overall survival was 0.61 (95% CI: 0.47, 0.80) in the 176 patients younger than 65 years compared to 0.73 (95% CI: 0.56, 0.95) in the 185 patients 65 years or older [see Clinical Studies (14.4) ]. In Combination with Cabozantinib Of the 320 patients with renal cell carcinoma who were treated with OPDIVO in combination with cabozantinib, 41% were 65 years or older and 9% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between elderly patients and younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.6) ]. In Combination with Fluoropyrimidine- and Platinum-Containing Chemotherapy Of the 1,110 patients with ESCC, GC, GEJC, or EAC who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy), 42% 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 [see Clinical Studies (14.12 , 14.13 )].

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of OPDIVO have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older for the following indications: as a single agent and in combination with ipilimumab for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma, as a single agent for the adjuvant treatment of completely resected Stage IIB, Stage IIC, Stage III, or Stage IV melanoma and, as a single agent or in combination with ipilimumab for the treatment of MSI-H or dMMR mCRC that has progressed following treatment with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. Use of OPDIVO for these indications is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with melanoma or MSI-H or dMMR mCRC and additional pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients. Nivolumab exposure in pediatric patients 12 years and older is comparable to that of adults and the courses of melanoma and MSI-H or dMMR mCRC are similar in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older to that of adults to allow extrapolation of safety and efficacy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , Clinical Studies (14.1 , 14.10) ] . The safety and effectiveness of OPDIVO have not been established for pediatric patients younger than 12 years old with melanoma or MSI-H or dMMR mCRC. The safety and effectiveness of OPDIVO have not been established in pediatric patients with non-small cell lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, advanced renal cell carcinoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, urothelial carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, gastroesophageal cancer and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

    Pregnancy

    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 a 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 a drug-associated risk. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a 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 Data A 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 9 and 42 times higher than those observed at the clinical dose of 3 mg/kg (based on AUC). Nivolumab administration resulted in a 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.

Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 5 months after the last dose of OPDIVO. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating OPDIVO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Contraception OPDIVO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with OPDIVO and for 5 months following the last dose. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of OPDIVO have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older for the following indications: as a single agent and in combination with ipilimumab for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma, as a single agent for the adjuvant treatment of completely resected Stage IIB, Stage IIC, Stage III, or Stage IV melanoma and, as a single agent or in combination with ipilimumab for the treatment of MSI-H or dMMR mCRC that has progressed following treatment with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. Use of OPDIVO for these indications is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with melanoma or MSI-H or dMMR mCRC and additional pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients. Nivolumab exposure in pediatric patients 12 years and older is comparable to that of adults and the courses of melanoma and MSI-H or dMMR mCRC are similar in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older to that of adults to allow extrapolation of safety and efficacy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , Clinical Studies (14.1 , 14.10) ] . The safety and effectiveness of OPDIVO have not been established for pediatric patients younger than 12 years old with melanoma or MSI-H or dMMR mCRC. The safety and effectiveness of OPDIVO have not been established in pediatric patients with non-small cell lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, advanced renal cell carcinoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, urothelial carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, gastroesophageal cancer and esophageal adenocarcinoma. 8.5 Geriatric Use Single Agent Of 3569 patients with melanoma, NSCLC, renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, ESCC, and esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer who were randomized to single agent OPDIVO in clinical studies, 41% were 65 years and over and 10% were 75 years and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between elderly patients and younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.1 , 14.2 , 14.4 , 14.6 , 14.9 , 14.12) ]. In patients with cHL, recurrent head and neck SCC, or dMMR or MSI-H metastatic CRC (mCRC) who were treated with single agent OPDIVO in clinical studies did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.7, 14.8, 14.10) ]. In Combination with Ipilimumab Of the 314 patients with melanoma who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 41% were 65 years or older and 11% were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were reported between elderly patients and younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. Of the 576 patients with NSCLC who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 48% were 65 years or older and 10% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between older patients and younger patients; however, there was a higher discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions in patients aged 75 years or older (29%) relative to all patients who received OPDIVO with ipilimumab (18%). Of the 396 patients in the primary efficacy population (PD-L1 ≥1%) randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, the hazard ratio for overall survival was 0.70 (95% CI: 0.55, 0.89) in the 199 patients younger than 65 years compared to 0.91 (95% CI: 0.72, 1.15) in the 197 patients 65 years or older [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ]. Of the 303 patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 77% were 65 years old or older and 26% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between older patients and younger patients; however, there were higher rates of serious adverse reactions and discontinuation due to adverse reactions in patients aged 75 years or older (68% and 35%, respectively) relative to all patients who received OPDIVO with ipilimumab (54% and 28%, respectively). For patients aged 75 years or older who received chemotherapy, the rate of serious adverse reactions was 34% and the discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 26% relative to 28% and 19% respectively for all patients. The hazard ratio for overall survival was 0.76 (95% CI: 0.52, 1.11) in the 71 patients younger than 65 years compared to 0.74 (95% CI: 0.59, 0.93) in the 232 patients 65 years or older randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab [see Clinical Studies (14.5) ]. Of the 550 patients with renal cell carcinoma who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 38% were 65 years or older and 8% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between elderly patients and younger patients. In elderly patients with intermediate or poor risk, no overall difference in effectiveness was reported [see Clinical Studies (14.6) ]. Of the 49 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were treated with OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab , 29% were between 65 years and 74 years of age and 8% were 75 years or older. Clinical studies of OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab did not include sufficient numbers of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.11) ]. Of the 325 patients with ESCC who were randomized to OPDIVO in combination with ipilimumab, 43% were 65 years old or older and 7% were 75 years or older. No overall difference in safety was reported between older patients and younger patients; however, there was a higher discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions in patients aged 75 years or older (38%) relative to all patients who received OPDIVO with ipilimumab (23%).
