15 Determining Your Order for OPDIVO (nivolumab) Dosing for OPDIVO is weight-based; therefore, the dosage of OPDIVO will vary by patient. 10 Patient s weight in kg x 3 mg = Total dosage in mg needed For example: A person weighing 64 kg (140 lbs) would require a total dosage of 192 mg of OPDIVO A person weighing 109 kg (240 lbs) would require a total dosage of 327 mg of OPDIVO How to Store OPDIVO Store OPDIVO at 2 C-8 C (36 F-46 F) Protect vials from light Do not freeze or shake Unopened vial: 2 years The OPDIVO infusion must be completed with 24 hours of preparation. If not used immediately, the infusion solution may be stored under refrigeration conditions: 2 C-8 C (36 F-46 F) and protected from light for 24 hours (a maximum of 4 hours of the total 24 hours can be at room temperature 20 C-25 C [68 F-77 F] and room light) For reimbursement assistance, call the Support Center at , 8 AM to 8 PM ET, Monday Friday, or visit 15

16 Dosing and Administration for OPDIVO (nivolumab) The recommended dose of OPDIVO (nivolumab) is 3 mg/kg administered intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes every 2 weeks. 10 Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Medicare Drug Reimbursement for OPDIVO What is the Medicare reimbursement allowable for OPDIVO? Physicians The payment allowance limits for drugs and biologicals that are not included in the Average Sales Price (ASP) Medicare Part B Drug Pricing File or Not Otherwise Classified (NOC) Pricing File are based on the published Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) or invoice pricing, except under the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS), where the payment allowance limit is 95% of the published Average Wholesale Price (AWP) 4 The payment allowance limit in the Medicare Part B Pricing File currently 106% of the ASP does not apply for OPDIVO until the medication is published in the NOC list 4 Hospital outpatient clinics Under OPPS, the payment allowance limit is 95% of the published AWP until an ASP is published. Then, the payment allowance limit becomes ASP+6% 4 Hospital inpatient settings Reimbursement in the inpatient setting is bundled into the Medicare Diagnosis-Related Group (MS-DRG) payment that the hospital receives for all items and services provided during an inpatient stay Please see Important Safety Information on pages and accompanying Full Prescribing Information at the end of this document. 16

17 Commercial Insurance Reimbursement for OPDIVO (nivolumab) Physicians Drug reimbursement, like service reimbursement, is usually based on a fee schedule The fee schedules are based on the ASP or AWP, as published by a credible source (eg, Red Book), or an average costing methodology as determined by the payer, such as usual, customary, and reasonable (UC&R). In rare cases, drug allowances are based on charges Hospital outpatient clinics Drug reimbursement may be based on the same methodologies as outlined for physicians Alternatively, hospitals may negotiate rates that are a ratio of costs to charges, a percentage of charges, or rates are capitated, meaning they are paid at a per-member-per-month basis without regard to individual charges Hospitals may negotiate to carve new drugs out of capitated rates Hospital inpatient settings Inpatient rates are prospective, meaning they are predetermined per discharge There are private payers and payers such as CHAMPUS that pay on a version of the DRGs There are also payers that pay on a negotiated and fixed rate per day called a per diem. There are capitated rates for inpatients as well New drugs may be carved out of per diems or capitated rates, if the hospital negotiates to do so For reimbursement assistance, call the Support Center at , 8 AM to 8 PM ET, Monday Friday, or visit 17

21 Important Safety Information for OPDIVO (nivolumab) Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis Severe pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease, including fatal cases, occurred with OPDIVO treatment. Across the clinical trial experience in 691 patients with solid tumors, fatal immunemediated pneumonitis occurred in 0.7% (5/691) of patients receiving OPDIVO; no cases occurred in Trial 1. In Trial 1, pneumonitis, including interstitial lung disease, occurred in 3.4% (9/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO and none of the 102 patients receiving chemotherapy. Immunemediated pneumonitis occurred in 2.2% (6/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO; one with Grade 3 and five with Grade 2. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of pneumonitis. Administer corticosteroids for Grade 2 or greater pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue OPDIVO for Grade 3 or 4 and withhold OPDIVO until resolution for Grade 2. Immune-Mediated Colitis In Trial 1, diarrhea or colitis occurred in 21% (57/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO and 18% (18/102) of patients receiving chemotherapy. Immune-mediated colitis occurred in 2.2% (6/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO; five with Grade 3 and one with Grade 2. Monitor patients for immune-mediated colitis. Administer corticosteroids for Grade 2 (of more than 5 days duration), 3, or 4 colitis. Withhold OPDIVO for Grade 2 or 3. Permanently discontinue OPDIVO for Grade 4 colitis or recurrent colitis upon restarting OPDIVO. Immune-Mediated Hepatitis In Trial 1, there was an increased incidence of liver test abnormalities in the OPDIVO-treated group as compared to the chemotherapy-treated group, with increases in AST (28% vs 12%), alkaline phosphatase (22% vs 13%), ALT (16% vs 5%), and total bilirubin (9% vs 0). Immunemediated hepatitis occurred in 1.1% (3/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO; two with Grade 3 and one with Grade 2. Monitor patients for abnormal liver tests prior to and periodically during treatment. Administer corticosteroids for Grade 2 or greater transaminase elevations. Withhold OPDIVO for Grade 2 and permanently discontinue OPDIVO for Grade 3 or 4 immune-mediated hepatitis. Immune-Mediated Nephritis and Renal Dysfunction In Trial 1, there was an increased incidence of elevated creatinine in the OPDIVO-treated group as compared to the chemotherapy-treated group (13% vs 9%). Grade 2 or 3 immune-mediated nephritis or renal dysfunction occurred in 0.7% (2/268) of patients. Monitor patients for elevated serum creatinine prior to and periodically during treatment. For Grade 2 or 3 serum creatinine elevation, withhold OPDIVO and administer corticosteroids; if worsening or no improvement occurs, permanently discontinue OPDIVO. Administer corticosteroids for Grade 4 serum creatinine elevation and permanently discontinue OPDIVO. Immune-Mediated Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism In Trial 1, Grade 1 or 2 hypothyroidism occurred in 8% (21/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO and none of the 102 patients receiving chemotherapy.

22 Important Safety Information (cont d) Other Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions The following clinically significant, immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred in less than 2% of OPDIVO-treated patients: adrenal insufficiency, uveitis, pancreatitis, facial and abducens nerve paresis, demyelination, autoimmune neuropathy, motor dysfunction, and vasculitis. Across clinical trials of OPDIVO administered at doses 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, additional clinically significant, immune-mediated adverse reactions were identified: hypophysitis, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypopituitarism, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and myasthenic syndrome. Based on the severity of adverse reaction, withhold OPDIVO, administer high-dose corticosteroids, and, if appropriate, initiate hormone-replacement therapy. Embryofetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, OPDIVO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with OPDIVO and for at least 5 months after the last dose of OPDIVO. Lactation It is not known whether OPDIVO is present in human milk. Because many drugs, including antibodies, are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from OPDIVO, advise women to discontinue breastfeeding during treatment. Serious Adverse Reactions Serious adverse reactions occurred in 41% of patients receiving OPDIVO. Grade 3 and 4 adverse reactions occurred in 42% of patients receiving OPDIVO. The most frequent Grade 3 and 4 adverse drug reactions reported in 2% to <5% of patients receiving OPDIVO were abdominal pain, hyponatremia, increased aspartate aminotransferase, and increased lipase. Common Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reaction ( 20%) reported with OPDIVO was rash (21%). Please see accompanying Full Prescribing Information at the end of this document. 22

26 FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE 1.1 Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma OPDIVO (nivolumab) is indicated for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and disease progression following ipilimumab and, if BRAF V600 mutation positive, a BRAF inhibitor [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in the confirmatory trials. 1.2 Metastatic Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer OPDIVO (nivolumab) is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dose of OPDIVO is 3 mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 2.2 Dose Modifications There are no recommended dose modifications for hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Withhold OPDIVO for any of the following: Grade 2 pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Grade 2 or 3 colitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than 3 and up to 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin greater than 1.5 and up to 3 times ULN [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Creatinine greater than 1.5 and up to 6 times ULN or greater than 1.5 times baseline [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] Any other severe or Grade 3 treatment-related adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)] Resume OPDIVO in patients whose adverse reactions recover to Grade 0 to 1. Permanently discontinue OPDIVO for any of the following: Any life-threatening or Grade 4 adverse reaction Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Grade 4 colitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] AST or ALT greater than 5 times ULN or total bilirubin greater than 3 times ULN [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Creatinine greater than 6 times ULN [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] Any severe or Grade 3 treatment-related adverse reaction that recurs Inability to reduce corticosteroid dose to 10 mg or less of prednisone or equivalent per day within 12 weeks Persistent Grade 2 or 3 treatment-related adverse reactions that do not recover to Grade 1 or resolve within 12 weeks after last dose of OPDIVO 2.3 Preparation and Administration Visually inspect drug product solution for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. OPDIVO is a clear to opalescent, colorless to pale-yellow solution. Discard the vial if the solution is cloudy, is discolored, or contains extraneous particulate matter other than a few translucent-to-white, proteinaceous particles. Do not shake the vial. Preparation Withdraw the required volume of OPDIVO and transfer into an intravenous container. Dilute OPDIVO with either 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, to prepare an infusion with a final concentration ranging from 1 mg/ml to 10 mg/ml. Mix diluted solution by gentle inversion. Do not shake. Discard partially used vials or empty vials of OPDIVO. Storage of Infusion The product does not contain a preservative. After preparation, store the OPDIVO infusion either: at room temperature for no more than 4 hours from the time of preparation. This includes room temperature storage of the infusion in the IV container and time for administration of the infusion or under refrigeration at 2 C to 8 C (36 F-46 F) for no more than 24 hours from the time of infusion preparation. Do not freeze. Administration Administer the infusion over 60 minutes through an intravenous line containing a sterile, non-pyrogenic, low protein binding in-line filter (pore size of 0.2 micrometer to 1.2 micrometer). Do not coadminister other drugs through the same intravenous line. Flush the intravenous line at end of infusion. 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS Injection: 40 mg/4 ml (10 mg/ml) and 100 mg/10 ml (10 mg/ml) solution in a single-use vial. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. OPDIVO (nivolumab) 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis Severe pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease, including fatal cases, occurred with OPDIVO treatment. Across the clinical trial experience in 691 patients with solid tumors, fatal immune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 0.7% (5/691) of patients receiving OPDIVO. No cases of fatal pneumonitis occurred in Trial 1 or Trial 3; all five fatal cases occurred in a dose-finding study with OPDIVO doses of 1 mg/kg (two patients), 3 mg/kg (two patients), and 10 mg/kg (one patient). In Trial 1, pneumonitis, including interstitial lung disease, occurred in 3.4% (9/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO and none of the 102 patients receiving chemotherapy. Immune-mediated pneumonitis, defined as requiring use of corticosteroids and no clear alternate etiology, occurred in 2.2% (6/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO: one with Grade 3 and five with Grade 2 pneumonitis. The median time to onset for the six cases was 2.2 months (range: 25 days to 3.5 months). In two patients, pneumonitis was diagnosed after discontinuation of OPDIVO for other reasons, and Grade 2 pneumonitis led to interruption or permanent discontinuation of OPDIVO in the remaining four patients. All six patients received high-dose corticosteroids (at least 40 mg prednisone equivalents per day); immune-mediated pneumonitis improved to Grade 0 or 1 with corticosteroids in all six patients. There were two patients with Grade 2 pneumonitis that completely resolved (defined as complete resolution of symptoms with completion of corticosteroids) and OPDIVO was restarted without recurrence of pneumonitis. In Trial 3, pneumonitis occurred in 6% (7/117) of patients receiving OPDIVO, including five Grade 3 and two Grade 2 cases, all immune-mediated. The median time to onset was 3.3 months (range: 1.4 to 13.5 months). All seven patients discontinued OPDIVO for pneumonitis or another event and all seven patients experienced complete resolution of pneumonitis following receipt of high-dose corticosteroids (at least 40 mg prednisone equivalents per day). Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of pneumonitis. Administer corticosteroids at a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone equivalents for Grade 2 or greater pneumonitis, followed by corticosteroid taper. Permanently discontinue OPDIVO for severe (Grade 3) or life-threatening (Grade 4) pneumonitis and withhold OPDIVO until resolution for moderate (Grade 2) pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. 5.2 Immune-Mediated Colitis In Trial 1, diarrhea or colitis occurred in 21% (57/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO and 18% (18/102) of patients receiving chemotherapy. Immune-mediated colitis, defined as requiring use of corticosteroids with no clear alternate etiology, occurred in 2.2% (6/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO: five patients with Grade 3 and one patient with Grade 2 colitis. The median time to onset of immune-mediated colitis from initiation of OPDIVO was 2.5 months (range: 1 to 6 months). In three patients, colitis was diagnosed after discontinuation of OPDIVO for other reasons, and Grade 2 or 3 colitis led to interruption or permanent discontinuation of OPDIVO in the remaining three patients. Five of these six patients received high-dose corticosteroids (at least 40 mg prednisone equivalents) for a median duration of 1.4 months (range: 3 days to 2.4 months) preceding corticosteroid taper. The sixth patient continued on low-dose corticosteroids started for another immune-mediated adverse reaction. Immune-mediated colitis improved to Grade 0 with corticosteroids in five patients, including one patient with Grade 3 colitis retreated after complete resolution (defined as improved to Grade 0 with completion of corticosteroids) without additional events of colitis. Grade 2 colitis was ongoing in one patient. In Trial 3, diarrhea occurred in 21% (24/117) of patients. Immune-mediated colitis (Grade 3) occurred in 0.9% (1/117) of patients. The time to onset in this patient was 6.7 months. The patient received high-dose corticosteroids and was permanently discontinued from OPDIVO. Complete resolution occurred. Monitor patients for immune-mediated colitis. Administer corticosteroids at a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone equivalents followed by corticosteroid taper for severe (Grade 3) or life-threatening (Grade 4) colitis. Administer corticosteroids at a dose of 0.5 to 1 mg/kg/day prednisone equivalents followed by corticosteroid taper for moderate (Grade 2) colitis of more than 5 days duration; if worsening or no improvement occurs despite initiation of corticosteroids, increase dose to 1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone equivalents. Withhold OPDIVO for Grade 2 or 3 immune-mediated colitis. Permanently discontinue OPDIVO for Grade 4 colitis or for recurrent colitis upon restarting OPDIVO [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. 5.3 Immune-Mediated Hepatitis In Trial 1, there was an increased incidence of liver test abnormalities in the OPDIVOtreated group as compared to the chemotherapy-treated group, with increases in AST (28% vs. 12%), alkaline phosphatase (22% vs. 13%), ALT (16% vs. 5%), and total bilirubin (9% vs. 0). Immune-mediated hepatitis, defined as requirement for corticosteroids and no clear alternate etiology, occurred in 1.1% (3/268) of patients receiving OPDIVO: two patients with Grade 3 and one patient with Grade 2 hepatitis. The time to onset was 97, 113, and 86 days after initiation of OPDIVO. In one patient, hepatitis was diagnosed after discontinuation of OPDIVO for other reasons. In two patients, OPDIVO was withheld. All three patients received high-dose corticosteroids (at least 40 mg prednisone equivalents). Liver tests improved to Grade 1 within 4 to 15 days of initiation of corticosteroids. Immune-mediated hepatitis resolved and did not recur with continuation of corticosteroids in two patients; the third patient died of disease progression with persistent hepatitis. The two patients with Grade 3 hepatitis that resolved restarted OPDIVO and, in one patient, Grade 3 immune-mediated hepatitis recurred resulting in permanent discontinuation of OPDIVO. In Trial 3, the incidences of increased liver test values were AST (16%), alkaline phosphatase (14%), ALT (12%), and total bilirubin (2.7%). No cases of immune-mediated hepatitis occurred in this trial. Monitor patients for abnormal liver tests prior to and periodically during treatment. Administer corticosteroids at a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone equivalents for Grade 2 or greater transaminase elevations, with or without concomitant elevation in total bilirubin. Withhold OPDIVO for moderate (Grade 2) and permanently discontinue
