Other cses of heptic VOD fter reduced-intensity conditioned llogeneic HSCT hve lso een reported in ptients with lymphom who received PD-1 receptor locking ntiody efore trnsplnttion. Cses of ftl hypercute GVHD hve lso een reported. These complictions my occur despite intervening therpy etween PD-1 lockde nd llogeneic HSCT. Follow ptients closely for erly evidence of trnsplnt-relted complictions such s hypercute GVHD, severe (Grde 3 to 4) cute GVHD, steroid-requiring ferile syndrome, heptic VOD, nd other immune-medited dverse rections, nd intervene promptly. 5.11 Emryo-Fetl Toxicity Bsed on its mechnism of ction nd dt from niml studies, cn cuse fetl hrm when dministered to pregnnt womn. In niml reproduction studies, dministrtion of nivolum to cynomolgus monkeys from the onset of orgnogenesis through delivery resulted in incresed ortion nd premture infnt deth. Advise pregnnt women of the potentil risk to fetus. Advise femles of reproductive potentil to use effective contrception during tretment with n -contining regimen nd for t lest 5 months fter the lst dose of [see Use in Specific Popultions (8.1, 8.3)]. 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following dverse rections re discussed in greter detil in other sections of the leling. (nivolum) Immune-Medited Pneumonitis [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.1)] Immune-Medited Colitis [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.2)] Immune-Medited Heptitis [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.3)] Immune-Medited Endocrinopthies [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.4)] Immune-Medited Nephritis nd Renl Dysfunction [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.5)] Immune-Medited Skin Adverse Rections [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.6)] Immune-Medited Encephlitis [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.7)] Other Immune-Medited Adverse Rections [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.8)] Infusion Rections [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.9)] Complictions of ogeneic HSCT fter [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.10)] 6.1 Clinicl Trils Experience Becuse clinicl trils re conducted under widely vrying conditions, dverse rection rtes oserved in the clinicl trils of drug cnnot e directly compred to rtes in the clinicl trils of nother drug nd my not reflect the rtes oserved in prctice. The dt in the Wrnings nd Precutions section reflect exposure to, s single gent, for cliniclly significnt dverse rections in 1994 ptients enrolled in the CHECKMATE-037, CHECKMATE-017, CHECKMATE-057, CHECKMATE-066, CHECKMATE-025, CHECKMATE-067, CHECKMATE-205, CHECKMATE-039 trils or single-rm tril in NSCLC (n=117) dministering s single gent [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5)]. In ddition, cliniclly significnt dverse rections of dministered with ipilimum were evluted in 407 ptients with melnom enrolled in CHECKMATE-067 (n=313) or Phse 2 rndomized study (n=94), dministering with ipilimum, supplemented y immune-medited dverse rection reports in ongoing clinicl trils [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5)]. The dt descried elow reflect exposure to s single gent in CHECKMATE-037, CHECKMATE-066, nd CHECKMATE-067, nd to with ipilimum in CHECKMATE-067, which re rndomized, ctive-controlled trils conducted in ptients with unresectle or metsttic melnom. Also descried elow re single-gent dt from CHECKMATE-238, rndomized tril for the djuvnt tretment of ptients with completely resected Stge IIIB/C nd IV melnom, CHECKMATE-017 nd CHECKMATE-057, which re rndomized trils in ptients with metsttic NSCLC, CHECKMATE-025, which is rndomized tril in ptients with dvnced RCC, CHECKMATE-205 nd CHECKMATE-039, which re open-lel, multiple-cohort trils in ptients with chl, CHECKMATE-141, rndomized tril in ptients with recurrent or metsttic SCCHN, CHECKMATE-275, which is single-rm tril in ptients with urothelil crcinom, nd CHECKMATE-040, which is n open-lel, multiple-cohort tril in ptients with HCC. Unresectle or Metsttic Melnom Previously Treted Metsttic Melnom The sfety of s single gent ws evluted in CHECKMATE-037, rndomized, open-lel tril in which 370 ptients with unresectle or metsttic melnom received 3 mg/kg of y intrvenous infusion every 2 weeks (n=268) or investigtor s choice of chemotherpy (n=102), either dcrzine 1000 mg/m 2 every 3 weeks or the comintion of cropltin AUC 6 every 3 weeks plus pclitxel 175 mg/m 2 every 3 weeks [see Clinicl Studies (14.1)]. The medin durtion of exposure ws 5.3 months (rnge: 1 dy to 13.8+ months) in -treted ptients nd ws 2 months (rnge: 1 dy to 9.6+ months) in chemotherpy-treted ptients. In this ongoing tril, 24% of ptients received for greter thn 6 months nd 3% of ptients received for greter thn 1 yer. In CHECKMATE-037, ptients hd documented disese progression following tretment with ipilimum nd, if BRAF V600 muttion positive, BRAF inhiitor. The tril excluded ptients with utoimmune disese, prior ipilimum-relted Grde 4 dverse rections (except for endocrinopthies) or Grde 3 ipilimum-relted dverse rections tht hd not resolved or were indequtely controlled within 12 weeks of the inititing event, ptients with condition requiring chronic systemic tretment with corticosteroids (>10 mg dily prednisone equivlent) or other immunosuppressive medictions, positive test for heptitis B or C, nd history of HIV. The tril popultion chrcteristics in the group nd the chemotherpy group were similr: 66% mle, medin ge 59.5 yers, 98% white, seline Estern Coopertive Oncology Group (ECOG) performnce sttus 0 (59%) or 1 (41%), 74% with M1c stge disese, 73% with cutneous melnom, 11% with mucosl melnom, 73% received two or more prior therpies for dvnced or metsttic disese, nd 18% hd rin metstsis. There were more ptients in the group with elevted LDH t seline (51% vs. 38%). ws discontinued for dverse rections in 9% of ptients. Twenty-six percent of ptients receiving hd drug dely for n dverse rection. Serious dverse rections occurred in 41% of ptients receiving. Grde 3 nd 4 dverse rections occurred in 42% of ptients receiving. The most frequent Grde 3 nd 4 dverse rections reported in 2% to less thn 5% of ptients receiving were dominl pin, hypontremi, incresed sprtte minotrnsferse, nd incresed lipse.
