Nivolumab In Combination With Ipilimumab (Opdivo-Yervoy)

CADTH recommends that Opdivo in combination with Yervoy (nivolumab plus ipilimumab) should be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) if certain conditions are met. Opdivo plus Yervoy should only be reimbursed if prescribed by clinicians with experience in immuno-oncology and treating MPM and if the cost of Opdivo plus Yervoy is reduced. Opdivo plus Yervoy should only be covered to treat patients who have not received prior systemic treatment for MPM and who have good performance status at the start of treatment.
