European Commission approves Opdivo as adjuvant treatment for esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer patients with residual pathologic disease following chemoradiotherapy.- BMS
The EC’s decision is based on results from the Phase III CheckMate -577 trial, which demonstrated that treatment with Opdivo following neoadjuvant CRT and complete surgical resection doubled the primary endpoint of disease-free survival (DFS) compared to placebo in the all-randomized population. The safety profile of Opdivo was consistent with previously reported studies. Results from CheckMate -577 were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Virtual Congress in September 2020 and at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June 2021.
