Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY) Thursday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted breakthrough-therapy designation to the combination of Nektar's bempegaldesleukin and Bristol's cancer drug Opdivo for patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

The companies said a phase 3 study evaluating the combination versus Opdivo alone in first-line advanced melanoma patients is currently recruiting patients.

Bempegaldesleukin, Nektar's lead immuno-oncology candidate, is designed to provide activation and proliferation of cancer-killing immune cells.

The FDA's breakthrough-therapy designation aims to expedite the development and review of a drug for serious conditions when preliminary clinical evidence shows the drug may show substantial improvement over available therapies.
