Nivolumab manufacture?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Nivolumab

Who manufactures nivolumab (Opdivo)?

Nivolumab is the active ingredient in the brand Opdivo. It is manufactured and marketed by Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS).

Is it made by other companies too?

Different firms may produce versions under contract manufacturing arrangements (for example, different sites handling drug substance vs. drug product), but the nivolumab brand manufacturer/marketer remains Bristol Myers Squibb.

What if you mean biosimilars or follow-on versions?

Nivolumab is a biologic, so potential competition would generally come from biosimilar approvals rather than generic versions. If you want, tell me your country (or whether you mean US/EU), and I can narrow to biosimilar availability and who is listed as the applicant/marketer there.

How do patents affect manufacturing and competitors?

Patent and exclusivity status can shape when other firms can make or sell biosimilar products. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent/exclusivity details by drug and can help you see what may be blocking or enabling additional manufacturers.
