Abstract
Background: Nivolumab, a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody against programmed death 1 (PD-1), is approved for metastatic melanoma. The CheckMate 238 trial demonstrated one year of adjuvant nivolumab, compared with ipilimumab in resected Stage III and IV melanoma, provided longer recurrence-free survival (RFS) and lower incidence of immune related adverse events (irAEs). Patients with resected stage III and IV melanoma received adjuvant nivolumab via a patient access program (PAP) from August 2018 at our institution. This study examined local data regarding RFS and irAEs in this cohort.
