Opdivo Qvantig™
Understanding Opdivo Qvantig™
Opdivo Qvantig™ is a subcutaneous injection formulation of the immunotherapy drug Opdivo® (nivolumab), combined with hyaluronidase-nvhy to facilitate absorption. This formulation offers a more convenient administration method for patients, reducing infusion times from hours to minutes. Opdivo Qvantig™ is approved for most adult solid tumor indications previously treated with intravenous Opdivo®, including use as monotherapy, maintenance therapy post-combination treatment, or in combination with other therapies.
How Opdivo Qvantig™ Works:
-
PD-1 Inhibition: Nivolumab blocks the PD-1 pathway, enhancing the body’s immune response against cancer cells.
-
Enhanced Absorption: Hyaluronidase-nvhy increases tissue permeability, allowing for efficient subcutaneous delivery of nivolumab.
-
Convenient Administration: Provides a subcutaneous injection alternative to intravenous infusions, improving patient comfort and reducing administration time.
FDA Approval:
- Opdivo Qvantig™ was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on December 27, 2024, for subcutaneous use in most previously approved adult solid tumor Opdivo® indications.
