Two dosing regimens of nivolumab (NIVO) plus ipilimumab (IPI) for advanced (adv) melanoma: Three-year results of CheckMate 511.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
9516 Background: NIVO 1 mg/kg plus IPI 3 mg/kg (NIVO1 + IPI3) is approved for treatment (tx) of unresectable/adv melanoma, with demonstrated durable clinical benefit on long-term follow-up. Analysis of the phase 3b/4 CheckMate 511 study (NCT02714218) at 1 y showed that NIVO 3 mg/kg plus IPI 1 mg/kg (NIVO3 + IPI1) improves the safety profile of the combination; efficacy with the 2 regimens was similar in descriptive analyses. Here we present 3-y safety/efficacy results. Methods: Patients (pts) ≥ 18 y of age with previously untreated unresectable stage III/IV melanoma were randomized 1:1 to receive NIVO3 + IPI1 Q3W × 4 (N = 180) or NIVO1 + IPI3 Q3W × 4 (N = 178), both followed by NIVO 480 mg Q4W until progression/unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was the incidence of grade (gr) 3–5 tx-related adverse events (TRAEs); secondary endpoints (descriptive analyses) included objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The study was not powered to formally demonstrate noninferiority for efficacy endpoints. Results: At a median follow-up of 44.4 and 43.9 mo in the NIVO3 + IPI1 and NIVO1 + IPI3 groups, respectively, TRAEs led to tx discontinuation in 26% and 39% of pts; 57% and 42% of pts had received maintenance therapy. Gr 3–5 TRAE incidence remained significantly lower with NIVO3 + IPI1 than NIVO1 + IPI3 (33.9% vs 48.3%; odds ratio 0.55 [95% CI 0.36–0.84]). The most frequent TRAEs (any gr) were diarrhea (27%), fatigue (26%), and pruritus (26%) with NIVO3 + IPI1 and diarrhea (31%), pruritus (29%), and rash (27%) with NIVO1 + IPI3. In descriptive analyses, efficacy results were similar to those observed at 1 y. OS and tx-free–analysis outcomes were numerically similar in the 2 groups (table). Conclusions: At 3-y follow-up, NIVO3 + IPI1 continued to demonstrate an improved safety profile compared with NIVO1 + IPI3. In descriptive analyses, both groups demonstrated high 3-y OS rates that were numerically similar. This study provides important information regarding the benefit–risk profile of both dosing regimens of NIVO + IPI in pts with adv melanoma. Clinical trial information: NCT02714218. [Table: see text]

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
