Therapeutic Response Statement (Sensitivity)
This therapeutic response statement supports the relationship that Wild type ALK, Wild type EGFR status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Carboplatin, Ipilimumab, Nivolumab, Pemetrexed in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted approval to ipilimumab in combination with nivolumab and 2 cycles of platinum-doublet chemotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. This indication is based on CHECKMATE-9LA (NCT03215706), a phase 3, randomized, and open-label study in which the platinum-based chemotherapy was either carboplatin and pemetrexed or cisplatin and pemetrexed for non-squamous NSCLC, or carboplatin and paclitaxel for squamous NSCLC.
This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the Food and Drug Administration:
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.
