What's the typical nivolumab dose per kg in adults?

What is the usual nivolumab dose (mg/kg) for adults?

For adults, nivolumab is most commonly given at 3 mg per kg (every 2 weeks) or 2 mg per kg (every 3 weeks).

When would the dosing schedule differ (2-week vs 3-week)?

Clinicians typically choose between the two standard adult regimens based on treatment setting and logistics, since both are weight-based (mg/kg) and correspond to commonly used dosing schedules: 3 mg/kg q2w or 2 mg/kg q3w.

How to interpret “per kg” dosing in practice

“Per kg” means the prescribed dose is calculated from the patient’s body weight in kilograms, using one of the above mg/kg regimens, then rounded according to the facility’s dosing/infusion policies.

Is this dose the same for all adult indications?

The mg/kg values above are the standard adult dosing patterns, but exact regimens can vary by indication and whether nivolumab is being used alone or with other therapies. If you share the indication (e.g., melanoma, lung cancer, kidney cancer) and schedule (q2w vs q3w), I can help match the dose to that context.
