<br />
<strong>Melanoma</strong>:</p>

<ul>

	<li>adult patients with metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations as first-line treatment, in combination with ipilimumab and 2 cycles of platinum doublet chemotherapy.</li>
	<li>patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations should have disease progression on FDA-approved therapy for these aberrations prior to receiving Nivolumab.</li>

	<li>patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy.</li>
</ul>

	<li>3 or more lines of systemic therapy that includes autologous HSCT.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN)</strong>: patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with disease progression on or after a platinum-based therapy.<br />
<br />
<strong>Urothelial Carcinoma</strong>: patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who a: have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy; have disease progression within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy.<br />
<br />
<strong>Colorectal Cancer</strong>: adult and pediatric (12 years and older) patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer that has progressed following treatment with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan, as a single agent or in combination with ipilimumab.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC)</strong>: patients with unresectable advanced, recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after prior fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-based chemotherapy.<br />
<br />
<strong>Gastric Cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma</strong>:</p>

<ul>
	<li>patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, and esophageal adenocarcinoma in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy.</li>
	<li>This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.</li>
	<li>Treatment of patients with multiple myeloma with a PD-1 or PD-L1 blocking antibody in combination with a thalidomide analog plus dexamethasone is not recommended outside of controlled clinical trials.</li>
