Indication Statements
OPDIVO is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of adult patients with resectable (tumors >=4 cm or node positive) non-small cell lung cancer and no known EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangements, for neoadjuvant treatment, in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy, followed by single-agent OPDIVO as adjuvant treatment after surgery. 3
OPDIVO is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer expressing PD-L1 (>= 1%) as determined by an FDA-approved test, with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations, as first-line treatment in combination with ipilimumab. 1
OPDIVO is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations as first-line treatment, in combination with ipilimumab and 2 cycles of platinum-doublet chemotherapy. 3
OPDIVO is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric (12 years and older) patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer that has progressed following treatment with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. 2
OPDIVO is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric (12 years and older) patients with unresectable or metastatic microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) colorectal cancer (CRC) in combination with ipilimumab. 2
