Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY) reported Q1 2022 revenues of $11.6 billion, a 5% increase year-over-year, driven by strong sales from in-line products like Eliquis and Opdivo. Earnings per share (EPS) stood at $0.59 (down 34% YoY), while non-GAAP EPS rose 13% to $1.96. The company achieved FDA approvals for Opdualag and Camzyos, expanding its portfolio.

In the Phase 3 PIVOT-09 study, bempegaldesleukin did not meet the criteria for statistical significance compared to the TKI control arm. The separate Phase 2 PIVOT-10 study also lacked sufficient efficacy. All related studies will be terminated, allowing patients to pursue standard treatment options.

Administering three cycles of Opdivo before surgery reduced the recurrence, progression, or death risk by 37%. The median EFS was 31.6 months for the combination compared to 20.8 months for chemotherapy alone. Opdivo received FDA approval for this neoadjuvant treatment based on these findings. Early overall survival trends were also promising, with 83% alive at two years.
