Phase 3 CheckMate 067 trial of nivolumab in previously untreated advanced melanoma

At the 2015 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, James Larkin, FRCP, PhD, Consultant Medical Oncologist at The Royal Marsden, London, UK, discusses the phase 3 CheckMate 067 trial. The results of this trial demonstrate a superior progression-free survival of nivolumab (a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor) and ipilimumab (a CTLA-4 checkpoint inhibitor) regimen or nivolumab monotherapy versus ipilimumab monotherapy in previously untreated advanced melanoma.
