P1.04-010 CheckMate 870: An Open-label Safety Study of Nivolumab in Previously Treated Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Asia

Abstract

Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is an immune checkpoint receptor that attenuates T-cell activation by binding to its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, which are expressed on tumor cells. Nivolumab, an anti–PD-1 antibody, showed durable antitumor activity and a favorable safety profile compared with docetaxel in previously treated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 2 global phase 3 studies (CheckMate 017 and CheckMate 057). Data from these trials led to the approval of weight-based nivolumab 3 mg/kg administered as a 60-minute infusion every 2 weeks (Q2W) in previously treated patients with NSCLC.
