flag Lower-dose nivolumab and ipilimumab improved outcomes and reduced side effects in advanced melanoma patients.

flag A new study from Karolinska Institutet finds that a lower-dose immunotherapy regimen using nivolumab and ipilimumab improved outcomes for advanced melanoma patients compared to standard higher doses. flag Among nearly 400 participants, the lower-dose group had a 49% response rate, nine months of progression-free survival, and 42 months of overall survival, outperforming the higher-dose group. flag Serious side effects were also lower, occurring in 31% versus 51% of patients. flag The results suggest better treatment tolerance and sustained therapy, though the study was observational and cannot confirm causation. flag Researchers say the findings may inform future dosing strategies.
