What we learned from Immuno-therapy in melanoma

Potential to improve clinical

outcomeIn various solid

and haematologicmalignancies

Targeting the immune system not the tumour offers the potential for activity across multiple

tumour types

Immune adaptability, and memory offers the

potential for long-term survival

Unique safety profiles

Efficacy as adjuvantDosage may makes a

difference

Unique MoAs offer the opportunity for

combination

Efficacy in brain mtx

involved in a comparison for a particular stratum, then that stratum was excluded from treatment comparison. bDerived by the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data. Data cutoff: Dec 4, 2017.

TAKE HOME MESSAGES

With the new treatments (mainly with I-O) about the half of metastatic

melanoma patients can reach a long-term benefit

I-O may be used in earlier stages (Stage III) of the disease as

adjuvant post-surgery

New combination studies are ongoing in order to find more efficacy

treatments with less side effects.
