Nivolumab + ipilimumab ups melanoma response

No authors listed. Cancer Discov. 2015 Jun.

Abstract

For patients with advanced melanoma, the combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab yields better responses than ipilimumab alone. However, the two-drug combination is much more likely to cause side effects than the monotherapy.
