Phew, I will hold BMY bit longer now. Setting up from US$49 last August finally paid back
Australian cancer research institutes also run a trial of BMY's Opdivo-Yervoy combination to treat late stages melanoma at present. Hopefully it would be proved positive as well.
===========
Bristol-Myers Squibb smashed doubt about Opdivo and Yervoy’s utility in first-line kidney cancer on Sunday with data showing patients lived longer when treated up front with the combo, rather than with Pfizer’s standard-of-care med, Sutent.
The fleshed-out data followed closely on a surprise stop for the Checkmate-214 trial after an interim analysis, when a monitoring committee decided the Opdivo-Yervoy combo was too effective to restrict only to the control arm in the study.
In essence, Opdivo and Yervoy may not have hit their goal of delaying cancer growth, but did show they could help patients live longer, which is the gold-standard endpoint in cancer. That means Bristol-Myers could file for a full FDA approval for first-line treatment of renal cell carcinoma—another example of IO drugmakers’ push into earlier use of their therapies.
========
Now eyes on FDA approving the combo or not. If approved, potential huge booster for BMY's share price OL |
