Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Combined immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) with ipilimumab and nivolumab is a widely used treatment regimen for metastatic melanoma with non-resectable metastases. Nevertheless, the standard dose of ipilimumab 3 mg/kg bw and nivolumab 1 mg/kg bw is associated with a high rate of treatment-related adverse events (trAEs) (59% grade 3-4). In the CheckMate 511 study, it could be shown that flipped dosing with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg bw and nivolumab 3 mg/kg bw resulted in a significant reduction of trAE.
