The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency recommended approval of Opdivo (nivolumab) plus Yervoy (ipilimumab) from Bristol Myers Squibb for the first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, based on results from the phase III CheckMate-9DW trial. The CHMP opinion will now be reviewed by the European Commission.
CHMP recommended approval of Breyanzi (lisocabtagene maraleucel; liso-cel), a CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma who have received two or more prior lines of systemic therapy.
