AbbVie And Bristol-Myers Squibb Announce Clinical Research Collaboration To Evaluate A Therapeutic Regimen In Advanced Solid Tumors

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) today announced a clinical trial collaboration to evaluate the combination of AbbVie’s investigational antibody drug conjugate ABBV-399 and Bristol-Myers Squibb’s immunotherapy Opdivo (nivolumab) in c-Met overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

A Phase 1b clinical study is underway that includes evaluating the potential of combining Opdivo, which is designed to alleviate immune suppression, with ABBV-399 to explore the tolerability and potential efficacy of the combination in subjects with advanced c-Met overexpressing NSCLC who failed one prior line of chemotherapy. This study could expand into additional solid tumors in the future.
