Indications
OPDIVO is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of:
Melanoma
• Adult and pediatric (12 years and older) patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, as a single agent or in combination with ipilimumab. (1.1)
• For the adjuvant treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with completely resected Stage IIB, Stage IIC, Stage III, or Stage IV melanoma. (1.2)
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
• Adult patients with resectable (tumors ≥4 cm or node positive) non-small cell lung cancer in the neoadjuvant setting, in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy. (1.3)
• Adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer expressing PD-L1 (≥1%) as determined by an FDA-approved test, with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations, as first-line treatment in combination with ipilimumab. (1.4)
• Adult patients with metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations as first-line treatment, in combination with ipilimumab and 2 cycles of platinum-doublet chemotherapy. (1.4)
• Adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and 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. (1.4)
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
• Adult patients with unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma, as first-line treatment in combination with ipilimumab. (1.5)
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)
• Adult patients with intermediate or poor risk advanced renal cell carcinoma, as a first-line treatment in combination with ipilimumab. (1.6)
• Adult patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, as a first-line treatment in combination with cabozantinib. (1.6)
• Adult patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy. (1.6)
Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL)
• Adult patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma that has relapsed or progressed aftera: (1.7)
• Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and brentuximab vedotin, or
• 3 or more lines of systemic therapy that includes autologous HSCT.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN)
• Adult patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with disease progression on or after a platinum-based therapy. (1.8)
Urothelial Carcinoma
• Adjuvant treatment of adult patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC) who are at high risk of recurrence after undergoing radical resection of UC. (1.9)
• Adult patients with unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, as first-line treatment in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine. (1.9)
• Adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who:
• Have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy.
• Have disease progression within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy. (1.9)
Colorectal Cancer
• Adult and pediatric (12 years and older) patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer that has progressed following treatment with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan, as a single agent or in combination with ipilimumab.a (1.10)
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
• Adult patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have been previously treated with sorafenib in combination with ipilimumab.a (1.11)
Esophageal Cancer
• Adult patients with completely resected esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer with residual pathologic disease, who have received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT). (1.12)
• Adult patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma as first-line treatment in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy. (1.12)
• Adult patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma as first-line treatment in combination with ipilimumab. (1.12)
• Adult patients with unresectable advanced, recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after prior fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-based chemotherapy. (1.12)
Gastric Cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
• Adult patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, and esophageal adenocarcinoma in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy. (1.13)
