First disclosure of clinical outcomes from Phase 1 trial with BMS-986365 (CC-94676), the company’s first androgen receptor ligand-directed degrader in solid tumors from its targeted protein degradation platform, in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) today announced the presentation of data at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2024 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU) to be held from January 25-27 in San Francisco, California, highlighting the company’s progress in making long-term survival outcomes a possibility for more patients with genitourinary cancers, as well as showcasing potential new options and therapeutic platforms that may transform treatment paradigms across tumor types. Data from 14 company-sponsored studies, investigator-sponsored studies and collaborations will be presented at the meeting.

The first presentation of data from the CheckMate -67T study will highlight the potential of a subcutaneous formulation of nivolumab co-formulated with Halozyme’s proprietary recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) in advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Research to be shared will also add to the evidence supporting the use of Opdivo (nivolumab)-based combinations in patients with advanced RCC, including four-year follow-up data from the CheckMate -9ER trial and eight-year results from the CheckMate -214 trial. In addition, data will be presented on an investigational androgen receptor (AR) ligand-directed degrader (LDD; BMS-986365) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), providing validation for the targeted protein degradation platform in solid tumors and representing one of the company’s next waves of potential registrational assets.

“We are excited to present our research at ASCO GU 2024, which will demonstrate not only our long-standing leadership in oncology with our work in immunotherapy, but also our commitment to developing new assets and approaches to treating cancer from our differentiated research platforms such as targeted protein degradation in an effort to provide patients with better, long-term outcomes,” said Samit Hirawat, M.D., executive vice president and chief medical officer, Drug Development, Bristol Myers Squibb. “These results simultaneously showcase the ongoing success of Opdivo-based combinations in metastatic disease and our contributions to the future of cancer treatment and research. We are especially eager to share data for the first time showing the potential of our subcutaneous formulation of a proven agent, and a new mechanism of action in a difficult-to-treat tumor type - both of which could have a tremendous impact on existing standards of care and the patient experience.”

Key data being presented by Bristol Myers Squibb at ASCO GU 2024 include:

• First disclosure of pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety results from the Phase 3 CheckMate -67T trial with subcutaneous nivolumab (nivolumab and hyaluronidase) being presented in a late-breaking oral session. This marks the first presentation of data evaluating subcutaneous nivolumab compared to its intravenous formulation.
• Eight-year data from the Phase 3 CheckMate -214 study with Opdivo plus Yervoy (ipilimumab) showing ongoing survival and response benefits over sunitinib among intermediate- and poor-risk patients with advanced RCC, as well as among all randomized patients. These data represent the longest survival benefit vs. sunitinib reported in patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic RCC.
• Four-year follow-up data from the Phase 3 CheckMate -9ER trial evaluating Opdivo in combination with Exelixis’ CABOMETYX (cabozantinib). These data demonstrate meaningful, long-term efficacy benefits seen with the combination therapy over sunitinib and reinforce it as a standard of care for previously untreated advanced RCC.
• First presentation of clinical outcomes from the company’s targeted protein degradation platform in solid tumors with Phase 1 data from BMS-986365 (CC-94676), an oral drug selectively targeting AR. BMS-986365 induces effective and durable suppression of AR signaling, overcomes resistance to existing AR pathway inhibitors (ARPI) therapies and shows promising clinical activity in heavily pre-treated patients with mCRPC across wildtype, amplified and mutant AR status, highlighting this asset as the potential best-in-class AR-ligand directed degrader that may help overcome resistance to standard of care ARPIs in patients with mCRPC, a difficult-to-treat tumor type.

Summary of Presentations:

All abstracts except late-breaking abstracts will be available on ASCO’s digital program at 5:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) on January 22, 2024. All late-breaking abstracts will be available on ASCO’s digital program at 10:00 AM ET on their day of presentation at the meeting.

About Opdivo

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.

Opdivo’s leading global development program is based on Bristol Myers Squibb’s scientific expertise in the field of Immuno-Oncology, and includes a broad range of clinical trials across all phases, including Phase 3, in a variety of tumor types. To date, the Opdivo clinical development program has treated more than 35,000 patients. The Opdivo trials have contributed to gaining a deeper understanding of the potential role of biomarkers in patient care, particularly regarding how patients may benefit from Opdivo across the continuum of PD-L1 expression.

In July 2014, Opdivo was the first PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor to receive regulatory approval anywhere in the world. Opdivo is currently approved in more than 65 countries, including the United States, the European Union, Japan and China. In September 2015, the Company’s Opdivo and Yervoy combination regimen was the first Immuno-Oncology to receive regulatory approval for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and is currently approved in more than 50 countries, including the United States and the European Union.

About Yervoy

Yervoy is a recombinant, human monoclonal antibody that binds to the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4). CTLA-4 is a negative regulator of T-cell activity. Yervoy binds to CTLA-4 and blocks the interaction of CTLA-4 with its ligands, CD80/CD86. Blockade of CTLA-4 has been shown to augment T-cell activation and proliferation, including the activation and proliferation of tumor infiltrating T-effector cells. Inhibition of CTLA-4 signaling can also reduce T-regulatory cell function, which may contribute to a general increase in T-cell responsiveness, including the anti-tumor immune response. On March 25, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Yervoy 3 mg/kg monotherapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Yervoy is approved for unresectable or metastatic melanoma in more than 50 countries. There is a broad, ongoing development program in place for Yervoy spanning multiple tumor types.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions

Immune-mediated adverse reactions listed herein may not include all possible severe and fatal immune- mediated adverse reactions.

Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. While immune-mediated adverse reactions usually manifest during treatment, they can also occur after discontinuation of OPDIVO or YERVOY. Early identification and management are essential to ensure safe use of OPDIVO and YERVOY. Monitor for signs and symptoms that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate clinical chemistries including liver enzymes, creatinine, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment with OPDIVO and before each dose of YERVOY. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate.

Withhold or permanently discontinue OPDIVO and YERVOY depending on severity (please see section 2 Dosage and Administration in the accompanying Full Prescribing Information). In general, if OPDIVO or YERVOY interruption or discontinuation is required, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy. Toxicity management guidelines for adverse reactions that do not necessarily require systemic steroids (e.g., endocrinopathies and dermatologic reactions) are discussed below.

Some ocular IMAR cases can be associated with retinal detachment. Various grades of visual impairment, including blindness, can occur. If uveitis occurs in combination with other immune-mediated adverse reactions, consider a Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada–like syndrome, which has been observed in patients receiving OPDIVO and YERVOY, as this may require treatment with systemic corticosteroids to reduce the risk of permanent vision loss.

Infusion-Related Reactions

OPDIVO and YERVOY can cause severe infusion-related reactions. Discontinue OPDIVO and YERVOY in patients with severe (Grade 3) or life-threatening (Grade 4) infusion-related reactions. Interrupt or slow the rate of infusion in patients with mild (Grade 1) or moderate (Grade 2) infusion-related reactions. In patients receiving OPDIVO monotherapy as a 60-minute infusion, infusion-related reactions occurred in 6.4% (127/1994) of patients. In a separate trial in which patients received OPDIVO monotherapy as a 60-minute infusion or a 30-minute infusion, infusion-related reactions occurred in 2.2% (8/368) and 2.7% (10/369) of patients, respectively. Additionally, 0.5% (2/368) and 1.4% (5/369) of patients, respectively, experienced adverse reactions within 48 hours of infusion that led to dose delay, permanent discontinuation or withholding of OPDIVO. In melanoma patients receiving OPDIVO 1 mg/kg with YERVOY 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks, infusion- related reactions occurred in 2.5% (10/407) of patients. In HCC patients receiving OPDIVO 1 mg/kg with YERVOY 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks, infusion-related reactions occurred in 8% (4/49) of patients. In RCC patients receiving OPDIVO 3 mg/kg with YERVOY 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks, infusion-related reactions occurred in 5.1% (28/547) of patients. In MSI-H/dMMR mCRC patients receiving OPDIVO 3 mg/kg with YERVOY 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks, infusion-related reactions occurred in 4.2% (5/119) of patients. In MPM patients receiving OPDIVO 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks with YERVOY 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks, infusion-related reactions occurred in 12% (37/300) of patients.

Complications of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with OPDIVO or YERVOY. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between OPDIVO or YERVOY and allogeneic HSCT.

Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefit versus risks of treatment with OPDIVO and YERVOY prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on its mechanism of action and findings from animal studies, OPDIVO and YERVOY can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The effects of YERVOY are likely to be greater during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with OPDIVO and YERVOY and for at least 5 months after the last dose.

Increased Mortality in Patients with Multiple Myeloma when OPDIVO is Added to a Thalidomide Analogue and Dexamethasone

In randomized clinical trials in patients with multiple myeloma, the addition of OPDIVO to a thalidomide analogue plus dexamethasone resulted in increased mortality. Treatment of patients with multiple myeloma with a PD-1 or PD-L1 blocking antibody in combination with a thalidomide analogue plus dexamethasone is not recommended outside of controlled clinical trials.

Lactation

There are no data on the presence of OPDIVO or YERVOY in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 5 months after the last dose.
