CHICAGO – Combining the immunotherapy antibodies nivolumab and ipilimumab induced more robust responses in untreated advanced melanoma when used together than as single agents, according to phase III results reported at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
In an interview at the meeting, Dr. Steven O’Day, whose ipilimumab research rocked ASCO audiences just 5 years ago, gives his insights into the results, what they mean for the future of ipilimumab, and what clinicians may possibly see at ASCO 2016.
The study was sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb. The lead investigator, Dr. Jedd D. Wolchok, reported financial relationships with BMS and several other firms.
