“Intravenous Opdivo has helped transform the treatment of several solid tumor types over the past decade, but there remains a need for additional administration options to address treatment burden on patients and improve efficiencies in healthcare systems,” said Gina Fusaro, Ph.D., vice president, global program lead, Bristol Myers Squibb. “We are delighted that the results of CheckMate -67T demonstrate that subcutaneous nivolumab delivers noninferior pharmacokinetics, in addition to objective response rate and safety data consistent with IV Opdivo. We believe this new option, given as a single injection administered in less than five minutes, could transform the treatment experience for both patients and physicians.”
