Successful use of nivolumab and relatlimab as salvage therapy for metastatic uveal melanoma.
Identification of effective systemic therapies for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma remains an ongoing challenge. While immune checkpoint inhibitors are frequently used to treat this disease, response rates and survival outcomes remain poor. In this case report, we present two heavily pretreated patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who had robust responses to combination nivolumab (PD-1 inhibitor) with relatlimab (LAG-3 inhibitor) as salvage treatment. We highlight the ongoing research of the uveal melanoma tumor immune microenvironment and the potential role of LAG-3 inhibition as an effective treatment strategy.
期刊介绍:
Melanoma Research is a well established international forum for the dissemination of new findings relating to melanoma. The aim of the Journal is to promote the level of informational exchange between those engaged in the field. Melanoma Research aims to encourage an informed and balanced view of experimental and clinical research and extend and stimulate communication and exchange of knowledge between investigators with differing areas of expertise. This will foster the development of translational research. The reporting of new clinical results and the effect and toxicity of new therapeutic agents and immunotherapy will be given emphasis by rapid publication of Short Communications. Thus, Melanoma Research seeks to present a coherent and up-to-date account of all aspects of investigations pertinent to melanoma. Consequently the scope of the Journal is broad, embracing the entire range of studies from fundamental and applied research in such subject areas as genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, photobiology, pathology, immunology, and advances in clinical oncology influencing the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of melanoma.
