Additional Relevant Details Janssen Biotech has entered into a clinical study collaboration agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company to evaluate the combination of two immuno-oncology compounds in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The Phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate the tolerability and clinical activity of the combination of Janssen’s investigational immunotherapy JNJ-64041757 and Bristol-Myer Squibb’s PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, OPDIVO (nivolumab), in NSCLC patients.JNJ-64041757 is an antigen-presentation therapeutic, based on Live Attenuated Double-Deleted (LADD) Listeria monocytogenes strains engineered to induce an immune response against NSCLC tumors.  Janssen licensed JNJ-64041757 (previously referred to as ADU-214) and another compound, JNJ-64041809 (previously referred to as ADU-741), from Aduro Biotech, Inc., in 2014. Both are currently in Phase 1 clinical development: JNJ-64041757 in lung cancer and JNJ-64041809 in prostate cancer.  OPDIVO is indicated for the treatment of patients with NSCLC with progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.
