NICE Rejects BMS' Opdivo As Adult Kidney Cancer Treatment
Executive Summary
The UK HTA NICE in draft guidance has rejected Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s Opdivo (nivolumab) as a therapy for previously treated advanced renal cell carcinoma in adults, saying the PD-1 inhibitor doesn't offer value for money. It added that it should also not be made available to such patients through the government-funded Cancer Drugs Fund, for the same reasons.
