Interestingly, a recent phase 3 clinical trial with the combination of the anti-CTLA4 monoclonal antibody ipilimumab and the anti-PD1 nivolumab in metastatic melanoma showed an advantage, both in terms of PFS and OS, of the combination over nivolumab alone in patients with PDL1 negative tumors (37), but at the expenses of much higher toxicity. The gene discussed is CD274; the disease is metastatic melanoma.
