Abstract

= 0.49). Severe adverse events (grade 3 or 4) were observed in seven patients (15%) among which five treated with nivo1ipi3 (22%) and two treated with nivo3ipi1 (8%). These data suggest that nivolumab/ipilimumab combination does not improve clinical outcomes compared to other therapies but is more toxic. In the absence of controlled clinical trials, we would not recommend this combination as a standard treatment in all mUM patients but rather as an option. Patients for whom the benefit-risk ratio could justify the combination need to be defined.
