First-line chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma results in median overall survival (OS) <1 year. The phase 3 CheckMate 649 study evaluated first-line programmed death (PD)-1 inhibitor-based therapies in gastric/GEJ/oesophageal adenocarcinoma; we report first results for nivolumab-plus-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy. We enrolled adults with previously untreated, unresectable, non-HER2-positive gastric/GEJ/oesophageal adenocarcinoma, regardless of PD-ligand (L)1 expression. Patients were randomised to nivolumab (360 mg every 3 weeks or 240 mg every 2 weeks)-plus-chemotherapy (XELOX every 3 weeks or FOLFOX every 2 weeks), nivolumab-plus-ipilimumab, or chemotherapy. Primary endpoints for nivolumab-plus-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy were OS or progression-free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review, in PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥5 patients. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of the assigned treatment. From March 2017 through April 2019, we concurrently randomised 1581 patients to treatment (nivolumab-plus-chemotherapy, 789; chemotherapy, 792). The median follow-up for OS was: nivolumab-plus-chemotherapy, 13·1 months (IQR, 6·7–19·1) and chemotherapy, 11·1 months (5·8–16·1). Nivolumab-plus-chemotherapy resulted in significant improvements in OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0·71 [98·4% CI 0·59–0·86]; p<0·0001) and PFS (HR 0·68 [98% CI 0·56–0·81]; p<0·0001) versus chemotherapy in PD-L1 CPS ≥5 patients (minimum follow-up, 12·1 months). Additional results showed significant improvement in OS, along with PFS benefit, in PD-L1 CPS ≥1 and all-randomised patients. Among all-treated patients, 462 (59%, nivolumab-plus-chemotherapy) and 341 (44%, chemotherapy) patients had grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events. No new safety signals were identified. Nivolumab is the first PD-1 inhibitor to demonstrate superior OS, along with PFS benefit, and an acceptable safety profile, in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in previously untreated patients with advanced gastric/GEJ/oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Nivolumab-plus-chemotherapy represents a potential standard first-line treatment for these patients. Bristol Myers Squibb (Princeton, NJ, USA), in collaboration with Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
