Abstract

BACKGROUND: Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody that antagonizes cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen‐4, a negative regulator of the immune system. The authors report on advanced refractory melanoma patients treated in a compassionate use trial of ipilimumab at the Memorial Sloan‐Kettering Cancer Center. METHODS: Patients with advanced refractory melanoma were treated in a compassionate use trial with ipilimumab 10 mg/kg every 3 weeks for 4 doses. Those with evidence of clinical benefit at Week 24 (complete response [CR], partial response [PR], or stable disease [SD]) then received ipilimumab every 12 weeks. RESULTS: A total of 53 patients were enrolled, with 51 evaluable. Grade 3/4 immune‐related adverse events were noted in 29% of patients, with the most common immune‐related adverse events being pruritus (43%), rash (37%), and diarrhea (33%). On the basis of immune‐related response criteria, the response rate (CR + PR) was 12% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5%‐25%), whereas 29% had SD (95% CI, 18%‐44%). The median progression‐free survival was 2.6 months (95% CI, 2.3‐5.2 months), whereas the median overall survival (OS) was 7.2 months (95% CI, 4.0‐13.3 months). Patients with an absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≥1000/μL after 2 ipilimumab treatments (Week 7) had a significantly improved clinical benefit rate (51% vs 0%; P = .01) and median OS (11.9 vs 1.4 months; P < .001) compared with those with an ALC <1000/μL. CONCLUSIONS: The results confirm that ipilimumab is clinically active in patients with advanced refractory melanoma. The ALC after 2 ipilimumab treatments appears to correlate with clinical benefit and OS, and should be prospectively validated. Cancer 2010. © 2010 American Cancer Society.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
