As a first step, Manguso set his sights on treatments called PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors, which at the time had shown tremendous promise in clinical trials and would receive their first FDA approval in 2014. Every part of TIDE has been the fruit of collaboration and multidisciplinary team-based science,” Yates said.

EMA Validates Bristol Myers Squibb’s Applications for Opdivo (nivolumab) + Yervoy (ipilimumab) and Opdivo + Chemotherapy as First-Line Treatments for Unresectable Advanced, Recurrent or Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The Pharma Data

Opdivo is a programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor that is designed to uniquely harness the body’s own immune system to help restore anti-tumor immune response. By harnessing the body’s own immune system to fight cancer, Opdivo has become an important treatment option across multiple cancers.

Neoadjuvant Opdivo (nivolumab) Plus Chemotherapy Significantly Improves Pathologic Complete Response in Patients with Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Phase 3 CheckMate -816 Trial

The Pharma Data

The scientific rationale for using immunotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting is twofold: it presents the earliest opportunity to treat cancer cells that have spread in the body without detection, and the presence of a tumor during immunotherapy treatment may enable a stronger immune response, potentially making the treatment more effective.
