Iván R. González: Neoadjuvant Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab versus Chemotherapy in Patients with Resectable NSCLC

Iván R. González, Medical Oncologist at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, Hospital Ángeles Puebla, shared on X:

Neoadjuvant Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab Shows Trend Towards Long-Term Clinical Benefit versus Chemotherapy in Patients with Resectable NSCLC: Findings from the CheckMate 816 Study.

Objectives:

  • Evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab compared to chemotherapy in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adults with stage IB-IIIA resectable NSCLC.

Key points:

  • Median event-free survival (EFS) was 54.8 months for nivolumab plus ipilimumab vs. 20.9 months for chemotherapy.
  • Three-year overall survival (OS) rates were 73% vs. 61%, respectively.
  • Pathologic complete response (pCR) rates were 20.4% vs. 4.6%. Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 14% vs. 36% of patients.

Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab demonstrated potential long-term clinical benefits over chemotherapy in resectable NSCLC, with a more favorable safety profile.”
