PURPOSE: Immunotherapy has become a standard treatment option for patients with metastatic melanoma, and the use of checkpoint inhibitors significantly improves the treatment outcomes in this group.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 116 patients with metastatic melanoma were enrolled in the study. In the first line, they were treated with an anti-PD-1 inhibitor (nivolumab or pembrolizumab), following which ipilimumab was used as the second-line therapy.
RESULTS: BRAF mutation was detected in 12 patients (10%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) of ipilimumab treatment was 2.8 months, the overall survival (OS) was 5.1 months. The rate of 6-month survival was 45%, 1-year survival was 24%, and 2-year survival was 3%. The responses to treatment were: complete response in 2 cases (2%), partial response in 7 cases (6%), stable disease in 39 cases (34%). In multivariate analysis, normal levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were associated with a longer median OS and PFS (p = 0.02 and p = 0.009, respectively), while 2 or less number of metastatic locations and the presence of BRAF mutations were correlated with a longer OS (p = 0.041 and p = 0.024, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: Ipilimumab could be considered after anti-PD-1 treatment. Treatment with ipilimumab following anti-PD-1 therapy showed beneficial effects in patients with normal levels of LDH, 2 or less number of metastatic locations, and BRAF-mutated melanoma. However, further studies are required to confirm our results as the study included a low number of patients with BRAF mutation-positive melanoma. No significant increase in toxicity was detected with the use of ipilimumab after anti-PD-1 therapy.
