Nivolumab is marketed in Japan under the brand name Opdivo. In Japan, it is manufactured and supplied by Ono Pharmaceutical (with Bristol Myers Squibb as the global developer of Opdivo) and distributed through Ono’s channels.
For patients and providers in Japan, the product they receive is typically supplied via Ono Pharmaceutical’s operations, since Ono is the listed Japanese marketing authorization holder/operator for Opdivo in Japan.
In Japan, nivolumab is principally associated with Opdivo. Other versions (such as future biosimilar products) would only be relevant if and when they are approved and launched in the Japanese market.
The most reliable way to confirm the manufacturing/supply details is the Opdivo prescribing information (package insert) for the specific strength and presentation used in Japan. These documents list the Japanese manufacturer/supplier responsible for the product being dispensed.
