Three-year median follow-up data demonstrate significantly improved disease-free survival, non-urothelial tract recurrence-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival and second progression-free survival with adjuvant Opdivo compared to placebo
Randomized patients who received Opdivo after radical surgery remained disease-free more than twice as long vs. placebo; patients whose tumor cells express PD-L1 ≥1% remained disease-free more than six times as long vs. placebo
Updated results from the Phase 3 CheckMate -274 trial will be presented in a late-breaking oral presentation at ASCO GU 2023
PRINCETON, NJ, USA I February 17, 2023 IBristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) today announced three-year follow-up results from the Phase 3 CheckMate -274 trial, demonstrating significant sustained clinical benefits with Opdivo (nivolumab) for the adjuvant treatment of patients with surgically resected, high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma. With a median follow-up of 36.1 months (31.6 months minimum), adjuvant Opdivo continued to show improved disease-free survival (DFS), non-urothelial tract recurrence-free survival (NUTRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and second progression-free survival (PFS2) compared to placebo across all-randomized patients and in patients whose tumor cells express PD-L1 ≥1%. These updated results will be featured in a late-breaking oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium from February 16-18, 2023.
“Patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma face a high chance of recurrence due to micrometastatic disease, especially within the first three years after surgical removal of the bladder or kidney. The three-year results from CheckMate -274 show a stable decrease in the risk of disease with adjuvant nivolumab with longer follow-up,” said Matthew D. Galsky,* M.D., Professor of Medicine, Director of Genitourinary Medical Oncology, Associate Director for Translational Research, and Co-Director of the Center of Excellence for Bladder Cancer at The Tisch Cancer Institute and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “Nivolumab remains the only immunotherapy, as well as the only medical treatment in general, to decrease the risk of urothelial cancer recurrence after radical surgery in patients who received chemotherapy prior to surgery or who are ineligible for chemotherapy. The results of this trial have changed the way that urothelial cancer is treated.”
With three years of follow-up in the CheckMate -274 trial:
- DFS (primary endpoint): Across all randomized patients, Opdivo more than doubled the average length of time patients lived without disease recurrence, demonstrating a median disease-free survival of 22.0 months compared to 10.9 months with placebo, a risk reduction of 29% (Hazard Ratio [HR] 0.71, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.58 to 0.86). The risk reduction remained consistent with that observed at the primary analysis, with only a 1% change with an additional 25.7 months of minimum follow-up (a risk reduction of 30% was observed with 5.9 months minimum follow-up at the primary analysis; HR 0.70). In patients whose tumor cells express PD-L1 ≥1%, Opdivo extended the average length of time patients lived without disease recurrence more than six times compared to placebo, with median DFS of 52.6 months vs. 8.4 months with placebo (HR 0.52, 95% CI: 0.37 to 0.72), a 48% reduction in the risk of disease recurrence or death.
- NUTRFS (secondary endpoint): In all randomized patients, those treated with Opdivo showed a median NUTRFS, defined as the time that patients lived without disease recurrence outside of the bladder, ureters or renal pelvis, of 25.9 months compared to 13.7 months for placebo (HR 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59 to 0.88). In patients whose tumor cells express PD-L1 ≥1%, median NUTRFS was 52.6 months with Opdivo vs. 8.4 months with placebo (HR 0.53, 95% CI: 0.38 to 0.74).
- DMFS (exploratory endpoint): Across all randomized patients, median DMFS, defined as the time that patients live without cancer spreading from the primary tumor to distant organs or lymph nodes, was 47.1 months with Opdivo vs. 28.7 months with placebo (HR 0.74, 95% CI: 0.60 to 0.92). Among patients whose tumor cells express PD-L1 ≥1%, median DMFS was not reached with Opdivo, compared to 20.7 months with placebo (HR 0.58, 95% CI: 0.40 to 0.84).
- PFS2 (exploratory endpoint): Median PFS2, defined as the time from randomization to disease progression after subsequent next-line systemic therapy, start of second subsequent next-line systemic therapy, or death, was 61.2 months for all-randomized patients treated with Opdivo compared to 47.1 months with placebo (HR 0.79, 95% CI: 0.63 to 0.98). In patients whose tumor cells express PD-L1 ≥1%, median PFS2 was not reached with Opdivo vs. 39.4 months with placebo (HR 0.54, 95% CI: 0.37 to 0.79).
- Safety: Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 18.2% and 7.2% of patients in the Opdivo and placebo arms, respectively, consistent with the primary analysis.
“We strive to provide hope for patients by offering safe and effective options that may help prevent recurrence and improve long-term outcomes. This is why earlier stages of cancer is an important research area for Bristol Myers Squibb across multiple tumor types, including hard-to-treat cancers with high unmet needs like urothelial carcinoma,” said Dana Walker, M.D., M.S.C.E., vice president, development program lead, genitourinary cancers, Bristol Myers Squibb. “The durable follow-up results from CheckMate -274 continue to fuel our excitement toward our ongoing research in earlier stages and its potential to change outcomes for patients. We look forward to closely following the CheckMate -274 trial, which is ongoing to assess additional key secondary endpoints, including overall survival to which we currently remain blinded.”
Bristol Myers Squibb thanks the patients and investigators involved in the CheckMate -274 clinical trial.
About CheckMate -274
CheckMate -274 is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, multi-center study evaluating Opdivo compared to placebo in patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma at a high risk of recurrence after radical resection. A total of 709 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive Opdivo 240 mg or placebo every two weeks for up to one year. The primary endpoints of the trial are disease-free survival (DFS) in all randomized patients (i.e., the intention-to-treat population) and in the subset of patients whose tumor cells express PD-L1 ≥1%. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), non-urothelial tract recurrence-free survival (NUTRFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Key exploratory endpoints include distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), quality of life (QoL) and second progression-free survival (PFS2).
About Urothelial Carcinoma
Bladder cancer is the 10th most common cancer in the world, with more than 573,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Urothelial carcinoma, which most frequently begins in the cells that line the inside of the bladder, accounts for approximately 90% of bladder cancer cases. In addition to the bladder, urothelial carcinoma can occur in other parts of the urinary tract, including the ureters and renal pelvis. The majority of urothelial carcinomas are diagnosed at an early stage, but rates of recurrence and disease progression are high. Approximately 50% of patients who undergo radical surgery will experience disease recurrence, especially within the first three years after surgical removal of the bladder or kidney. For patients whose disease recurs as metastatic cancer, the prognosis is poor, with a median overall survival of approximately 12 to 14 months when treated with systemic therapy.

About Opdivo
Opdivo is a programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor that is designed to uniquely harness the body’s own immune system to help restore anti-tumor immune response. By harnessing the body’s own immune system to fight cancer, Opdivo has become an important treatment option across multiple cancers.
Opdivo’s leading global development program is based on Bristol Myers Squibb’s scientific expertise in the field of Immuno-Oncology and includes a broad range of clinical trials across all phases, including Phase 3, in a variety of tumor types. To date, the Opdivo clinical development program has treated more than 35,000 patients. The Opdivo trials have contributed to gaining a deeper understanding of the potential role of biomarkers in patient care, particularly regarding how patients may benefit from Opdivo across the continuum of PD-L1 expression.
In July 2014, Opdivo was the first PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor to receive regulatory approval anywhere in the world. Opdivo is currently approved in more than 65 countries, including the United States, the European Union, Japan and China. In September 2015, the Company’s Opdivo and Yervoy combination regimen was the first Immuno-Oncology combination to receive regulatory approval for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and is currently approved in more than 50 countries, including the United States and the European Union.

On July 23, 2014, Ono and Bristol Myers Squibb further expanded the companies’ strategic collaboration agreement to jointly develop and commercialize multiple immunotherapies – as single agents and combination regimens – for patients with cancer in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
