Opdivo (nivolumab) [product information]. EMA.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has authorized nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab and 2 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have no sensitizing EGFR mutations or ALK translocations. This indication is based on CA2099LA, a phase 3, randomized, and open-label study in which the platinum-based chemotherapy was either carboplatin and pemetrexed or cisplatin and pemetrexed for non-squamous NSCLC, or carboplatin and paclitaxel for squamous NSCLC.

Opdivo (nivolumab) [package insert]. FDA.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval to nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab and 2 cycles of platinum-doublet chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. This indication is based on CHECKMATE-9LA (NCT03215706), a phase 3, randomized, and open-label study in which the platinum-based chemotherapy was either carboplatin and pemetrexed or cisplatin and pemetrexed for non-squamous NSCLC, or carboplatin and paclitaxel for squamous NSCLC.

The Republic of Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) has approved nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel for reimbursement as a treatment option for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have no sensitising EGFR mutation or ALK translocation.
