Nivolumab With or Without Ipilimumab in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma
Nivolumab with or without ipilimumab shows similar objective response rates in patients with recurrent or metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma.
The study indicates that adding ipilimumab to nivolumab does not improve efficacy but increases severe adverse events, suggesting single‑agent nivolumab remains the preferred first‑line immune checkpoint blockade for Merkel cell carcinoma.
