Combined Nivolumab and Ipilimumab or Monotherapy in Untreated Melanoma

James Larkin, Vanna Chiarion‐Sileni, René González, Jean‐Jacques Grob et al.

Short summary

Combining nivolumab (PD-1 inhibitor) and ipilimumab (CTLA-4 inhibitor) significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) in untreated metastatic melanoma patients compared to ipilimumab alone (11.5 vs. 2.9 months) and nivolumab alone (11.5 vs. 6.9 months). The combination was particularly effective in patients with PD-L1-negative tumors.
