On August 5, 2016, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co announced that its CheckMate-026 trial investigating the use of Opdivo (nivolumab) as monotherapy had failed because it did not meet its primary endpoint of progression-free survival.

On October 9, 2016, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co disclosed the final primary analysis of CheckMate-026, including the finding that overall survival was only 14.4 months for Opdivo versus 13.2 months for chemotherapy.

According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co (NYSE:BMY) common shares between January 27, 2015 and October 9, 2016, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws.
