Adjuvant nivolumab versus placebo for high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma: 5-year efficacy and ctDNA results from CheckMate 274☆

Annals of Oncology | |

Despite surgery, recurrence rates remain high in muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC). The phase III randomized, double-blind, multicenter CheckMate 274 trial comparing adjuvant nivolumab versus placebo in patients with high-risk MIUC after radical surgery demonstrated that adjuvant nivolumab improved disease-free survival (DFS) versus placebo. We report results with 5-year minimum follow-up including exploratory analyses of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
