The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency has recommended approval of Bristol Myers Squibb’s Opdivo (nivolumab) in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine for the first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
EC granted marketing authorization for Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine) for the treatment of adult patients with folate receptor-alpha positive, platinum-resistant high grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens. Elahere is the first and only folate receptor alpha-directed antibody drug conjugate medicine approved in the EU, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Northern Ireland.
