Published finding — does the expert body still believe it?
Pembrolizumab (10 mg/kg every 2 weeks) improves 6-month progression-free survival to 47.3% versus 26.5% for ipilimumab (HR 0.58, P<0.001) in patients with advanced melanoma.
TL;DR · AI-generated
The anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival and had less high-grade toxicity than did ipilimumab in patients with advanced melanoma.

Pembrolizumab achieves an objective response rate of approximately 33% in advanced melanoma, compared with 11.9% for ipilimumab (P<0.001).
0.0938
Pembrolizumab's PFS and OS benefit over ipilimumab in advanced melanoma will be maintained at longer follow-up beyond the median 7.9-month observation period reported in this trial.

In previously untreated patients with unresectable stage III/IV melanoma, nivolumab plus ipilimumab achieves a median progression-free survival of 11.5 months versus 2.9 months with ipilimumab alone (HR 0.42, P<0.001).
