Impact of the development of immune related adverse events in metastatic melanoma treated with PD -1 inhibitors

imageSome clinical trials have described improved outcomes in patients who develop immune-related adverse events (irAEs) while receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced melanoma. It is unknown if this effect would be seen in a real-world population. This is a single-center retrospective analysis of all patients receiving single-agent PD-1 inhibitor for unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma between 2012 and 2018. The majority of patients had cutaneous melanoma and were elderly (put in median and range). Totally 33.3% were BRAF mutated and 66.7% had PD-1 inhibitor as first-line treatment for metastat ic disease. Also, 22% of patients had brain metastases at presentation. Of the 87 patients included in this analysis, 48 (55%) developed at least one irAE. Dermatologic toxicities were the most common irAE. The median time to develop any irAE was 12 weeks. Only one patient died of immune-related toxicity. Overall survival in the population of patients that had an irAE was significantly greater than those that did not have any toxicity (21.1 vs. 7.5 months; P
