Findings from the CheckMate 274 study, a phase III, multi centre, double-blind randomized trial determining the efficacy of adjuvant nivolumab in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma was recently published by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York.   While study investigators plan additional follow-up to assess overall survival, study results have shown that disease-free-survival "was longer with adjuvant nivolumab than with placebo in the ITT population."
