Real-World Outcomes of Ipilimumab–Nivolumab vs. Anti-PD-1 Monotherapy in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma: A Single-Center Retrospective Study
Anti-PD-1 monotherapy demonstrated limited clinical activity, providing little benefit beyond conventional chemotherapy. Dual checkpoint blockade with ipilimumab and nivolumab achieved higher response and disease control rates, albeit with increased toxicity, suggesting a potential benefit for selected patients. Tebentafusp has emerged as an effective option and a new standard of care for a molecularly defined subgroup of HLA-A*02:01-positive patients. However, for the majority of individuals with metastatic uveal melanoma, effective systemic therapies remain an unmet need.
