Selected safety profile
INDICATION OPDIVO® (nivolumab) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations should have disease progression on FDA-approved therapy for these aberrations prior to receiving OPDIVO.
CHECKMATE 057 AND 017: FOR PREVIOUSLY TREATED mNSCLC
Adverse reactions occurring in ≥10% (all grades) of patients treated with OPDIVO® and at a higher incidence than docetaxel
(BETWEEN-ARM DIFFERENCE OF ≥5% [ALL GRADES] OR ≥2% [GRADES 3-4])1
- The safety profile of OPDIVO was evaluated across squamous and non-squamous histologies in patients with previously treated mNSCLC
- The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥20% of patients) were fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, cough, dyspnea, and decreased appetite
- Serious adverse reactions occurred in 46% of patients receiving OPDIVO
- The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in at least 2% of patients receiving OPDIVO were pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, dyspnea, pyrexia, pleural effusion, pneumonitis, and respiratory failure
- OPDIVO was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 11% of patients
- 28% of patients receiving OPDIVO had a drug delay for an adverse reaction
- With 5 years minimum follow-up, no new safety signals were identified for OPDIVO2
