Head-to-head evidence
Dostarlimab vs Nivolumab
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

Dostarlimab
Marketed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT03739710 · Phase 2 · completed
An open-label platform master study whose posted primary outcome is only the number of participants randomized across sub-studies; no comparative efficacy result for the dostarlimab-containing regimens is reported on the record. With no usable result and no blinding, this is weak evidence.
Next expected readout: November 2026 · NCT05565378 (registry estimate)
Nivolumab
Marketed by Bristol-Myers Squibb
NCT01673867 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a large randomized trial comparing nivolumab with active treatment, but it was open-label rather than double-blinded. The prespecified primary endpoint, overall survival, favored nivolumab and was statistically significant; however, the lack of blinding limits the strength of the evidence.
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT03527108 (registry estimate)
