520 Background: In the phase 3 CheckMate 9DW study (NCT04039607), 1L NIVO + IPI demonstrated significant overall survival (OS) benefit vs LEN/SOR, higher objective response rate (ORR) with durable responses, and manageable safety in uHCC. We present efficacy by best overall response (BOR) subgroups and baseline characteristics, and additional safety analyses from the preplanned interim analysis. Methods: Patients (pts) with previously untreated HCC not eligible for curative surgical or locoregional therapies, Child-Pugh score 5 or 6, and ECOG performance status 0 or 1 were randomized 1:1 to receive NIVO 1 mg/kg + IPI 3 mg/kg Q3W (up to 4 cycles), then NIVO 480 mg Q4W or LEN 8 mg or 12 mg QD or SOR 400 mg BID until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. NIVO was given for a maximum of 2 years. The primary endpoint was OS; secondary endpoints included ORR and duration of response (DOR) per blinded independent central review (BICR) using RECIST v1.1. Results: A total of 668 pts were randomized to NIVO + IPI (n = 335) or LEN/SOR (n = 333). At a median follow-up of 35.2 (range 26.8–48.9) months (mo), median OS (95% CI) was 23.7 (18.8–29.4) mo with NIVO + IPI vs 20.6 (17.5–22.5) mo with LEN/SOR (HR 0.79 [95% CI 0.65–0.96]; P = 0.0180). ORR (95% CI) per BICR was significantly higher with NIVO + IPI vs LEN/SOR (36% [31–42] vs 13% [10–17]; P < 0.0001); median DOR (95% CI) was 30.4 (21.2–not estimable [NE]) mo vs 12.9 (10.2–31.2) mo. Survival benefit of NIVO + IPI vs LEN/SOR ...
