On June 24, 2019, a global biopharmaceutical company announced results from the CheckMate-459 Phase III clinical trial evaluating "the efficacy and safety of first-line single-agent anti-PD-1 antibody Opdivo (nivolumab) therapy in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma."
The CheckMate-459 Phase III clinical trial was a multicenter randomized trial for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in first-line treatment, randomly assigned to either single-agent Opdivo therapy or single-agent Nexavar (sorafenib) therapy. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and secondary endpoints included progression-free survival and objective response rate.
The trial results showed that the primary endpoint of overall survival for the single-agent Opdivo group did not show superiority over the single-agent Nexavar group. Additionally, the safety profile of the single-agent Opdivo group was consistent with that observed in other clinical trials, and no new adverse events were confirmed in this trial.
Based on the CheckMate-459 trial results, Bruno Sangro stated: "It has been very difficult to improve treatment outcomes for patients with unresectable liver cancer. Since single-agent Nexavar therapy was established as the standard of care, more than 10 years have passed without progress in treatment outcomes. In the CheckMate-459 trial, while single-agent Opdivo therapy did not prove superior to single-agent Nexavar therapy, the trend toward improvement is very encouraging."
