At three years, estimated overall survival was 54.6% with nivolumab plus relatlimab and 48% with nivolumab. This update was exploratory.

Estimated survival at 3 years

Overall survival · percentage alive in each trial group

Nivolumab + relatlimab54.6%

Study group: 355 participants · 95% confidence interval 49.2%–59.6%

Nivolumab48%

Study group: 359 participants · 95% confidence interval 42.7%–53.1%

The small black line shows uncertainty (95% confidence interval), where available. These estimates describe study groups, not an individual’s chance of survival.

Exploratory overall-survival hazard ratio: 0.80 (95% CI 0.66–0.99), combination versus nivolumab.

Grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events

Three-year update; events collected through at least 100 days after discontinuation. Lower percentages mean fewer reported severe events.

Put the research in context

Who was studied?

Compare the reported population with what you know. It is fine to be unsure—those are useful questions for your care team.

These are reported population details, not a complete list of eligibility criteria. Who could enroll, who participated, and whose results were analyzed can differ. This checklist does not score your match, recommend treatment, or determine trial eligibility.

Study design & endpoints

Double-blind, randomized phase 2/3 trial; 714 participants.

Primary: progression-free survival by blinded central review. Overall survival was secondary. This three-year update is exploratory and descriptive.

What the chart cannot tell you

  • All efficacy analyses in this update were exploratory and descriptive. A confidence interval excluding 1 does not make this a new confirmatory OS result.
  • The results do not compare this combination with nivolumab plus ipilimumab.
  • Quality-of-life results are not included in this preview.

Results are group estimates, not a personalized forecast, treatment recommendation, or confirmation of trial eligibility.
