Nivolumab Effective in Advanced Non-Squamous NSCLC

Video

In this video, Dr. Paz-Ares discusses a phase III study that showed that nivolumab improved survival and response rates in previously treated patients with metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

In this video, Luis Paz-Ares, MD, discusses a phase III study that showed that nivolumab improved survival and response rates in previously treated patients with metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with the largest improvement seen in PD-L1-positive patients.

The data were presented at the 2015 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
