In patients with melanoma, ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) prolongs overall survival and nivolumab (anti-PD-1) produced durable tumor regressions in a phase 1 trial. Based on their distinct immunologic mechanisms of action and supportive preclinical data, we conducted a phase 1 trial of nivolumab combined with ipilimumab in advanced melanoma patients. Patients received nivolumab and ipilimumab every 3 weeks for 4 doses, followed by nivolumab alone every 3 weeks for 4 doses (concurrent regimen). Combined treatment was subsequently continued every 12 weeks for up to 8 doses. In a sequenced regimen, patients previously treated with ipilimumab received nivolumab every 2 weeks. Fifty-three patients received concurrent nivolumab/ipilimumab and 33 received sequenced treatment. The objective response rate, for all concurrent-regimen patients was 40% (modified WHO criteria). Evidence of clinical activity (conventional, unconfirmed, or immune-related response or stable disease ≥24 weeks) was observed in 65% of patients. At the maximum tolerated dose (1 mg/kg nivolumab + 3 mg/kg ipilimumab), 53% of patients achieved an objective response, all with ≥80% tumor reduction. Grade 3–4 related adverse events occurred in 53% of concurrent-regimen patients, but were qualitatively similar to historical monotherapy experience and were generally reversible. Among sequenced-regimen patients, 18% had grade 3–4 related adverse events and the objective response rate was 20%. Concurrent nivolumab/ipilimumab had a manageable safety profile and achieved clinical activity that is distinct from published monotherapy data, with rapid and deep tumor regressions in a substantial number of patients.
