- The efficacy analysis in patients with PD-L1 CPS ≥ 5 included 473 patients in the OPDIVO + FOLFOX or CapeOx arm and 482 patients in the FOLFOX or CapeOx arm
- Median follow-up at the 36-month analysis was 47.4 months in the OPDIVO + FOLFOX or CapeOx arm and 47.3 months in the FOLFOX or CapeOx arm2
