Overall survival data from CheckMate-069, a phase II trial of a Opdivo and Yervoy combination regimen in patients with previously untreated advanced melanoma, demonstrated a two-year overall survival rate of 69 percent compared to 53 percent for Yervoy alone (HR=0.58 [95% CI: 0.31-1.08]) in patients with BRAF wild-type advanced melanoma.
Scientists at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have built and demonstrated the potential efficacy of a new chimeric antigen receptor T-cell-based immunotherapy specifically designed to treat patients with cutaneous and rare subtypes of melanoma.
