The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use adopted a positive opinion recommending approval of Keytruda (pembrolizumab) in combination with trastuzumab, fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy, for the first-line treatment of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma in adults whose tumors express PD-L1.
Bristol Myers Squibb announced the final analysis of overall survival from the phase III CheckMate-816 study, which evaluated Opdivo (nivolumab) in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for adult patients with resectable (tumors ≥ 4 cm or node positive) non-small cell lung cancer.
