Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab Yields Superior PFS vs Chemotherapy for First-Line Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
First Results from CheckMate 8HW Study
First Results from CheckMate 8HW Study
Thierry Andre, MD, Sorbonne Université, and Hôpital Saint Antoine, Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris, Paris, France, discusses the first results from the CheckMate 8HW study exploring nivolumab plus chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-high), mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer. These results report progression-free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review at a prespecified interim analysis.
