OPDIVO QVANTIG is a fixed-combination drug product containing nivolumab and hyaluronidase (human recombinant). Nivolumab is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) blocking antibody. Nivolumab is an IgG4 kappa immunoglobulin that has a calculated molecular mass of 146 kDa. It is expressed in a recombinant Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line. Hyaluronidase (human recombinant) is an endoglycosidase used to increase the dispersion and absorption of co-administered drugs when administered subcutaneously. Hyaluronidase (human recombinant) is a glycosylated single-chain protein produced by CHO cells containing a DNA plasmid encoding for a soluble fragment of human hyaluronidase (PH20). Hyaluronidase (human recombinant) has a molecular weight of approximately 61 kDa. OPDIVO QVANTIG (nivolumab and hyaluronidase-nvhy) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to opalescent, colorless to yellow solution that may contain a few translucent-to-white particles, supplied in a single-dose vial for subcutaneous use. Each 2.5 mL single-dose vial contains 300 mg of nivolumab and 5,000 units of hyaluronidase (human recombinant), and the inactive ingredients: histidine (3.88 mg), histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (5.25 mg), methionine (1.87 mg), pentetic acid (0.049 mg), polysorbate 80 (1.25 mg), sucrose (214 mg), and Water for Injection, USP. The pH is 5.5 to 6.5. Each 5 mL single-dose vial contains 600 mg of nivolumab and 10,000 units of hyaluronidase (human recombinant), and the inactive ingredients: histidine (7.75 mg), histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (10.5 mg), methionine (3.73 mg), pentetic acid (0.0985 mg), polysorbate 80 (2.5 mg), sucrose (428 mg), and Water for Injection, USP. The pH is 5.5 to 6.5.
