According to the latest clinical trial data of the CheckMate-078 (NCT02613507, CTR20150767) of Opdivo (nivolumab) conducted among the Chinese lung cancer patients published by BMS on April 13, Opdivo could significantly benefit the overall survival (HR 0.68, p=0.0006) of Chinese patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to docetaxel, and the results will be reported orally at AACR Annual Meeting 2018 on April 16. Currently, BMS’ nivolumab, MSD’s pembrolizumab, and Junshi Biosciences’ teruipuli monoclonal antibody are in the first echelon of anti-PD-(L)1 antibody marketing in China, and BMS’ Opdivo is very likely to become the first anti-PD-(L)1 antibody to enter China.
I. Update on review progress of the 3 anti-PD-(L)1 antibodies
BMS took the lead in applying for marketing of nivolumab in China on November 1, 2017, to formally start the marketing process in China, which is expected to be formally approved in the second half of 2018.

According to the official information of CDE, nivolumab injection entered CDE on November 1, 2017, and has been completed pharmacology and toxicology and clinical data review, with the pharmacy to be reviewed. MSD’s pembrolizumab and Junshi Biosciences’ teruipuli monoclonal antibody have successively entered CDE, and are queuing for review.
II. Previously treated NSCLC: all data of CheckMate-078 clinical trial published
BMS published the analysis results of the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) on CheckMate-078 on November 30, 2017: the clinical trial met the primary endpoint of overall survival, and the trial was completed in advance.
CheckMate -078 was a Phase 3, randomized, and multicenter clinical trial mainly conducted among the Chinese population, evaluating nivolumab versus docetaxel in previously treated advanced or metastatic NSCLC in terms of safety and effectiveness, with the corresponding clinical acceptance No. of JXSL1300032.

According to CheckMate-078, compared to docetaxel, Opdivo could significantly benefit the overall survival (HR 0.68, p=0.0006) of Chinese patients with previously treated NSCLC, and lower disease progression risk, with statistically significant clinical benefits, being consistent with the overall survival data of CheckMate-017 and CheckMate-057.
Furthermore, in the analysis of different subgroups based on histological classification and PD-L1 level, Opdivo could extend the overall survival of patients in each subgroup. See the following table for the detailed data:
