Popis: | Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) have radically changed outcomes for patients diagnosed with metastatic melanoma globally in the last 10 years, based on evidence of overall survival (OS) benefits generated from international randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Since RCTs do not always reflect real‐world prescribing, we interrogated established national databases to track prescribing of CPIs approved for first line treatment of metastatic melanoma patients in England since 2014 and determined patient outcomes associated with OS, as well as treatment‐related toxicity. Between April 2014 and March 2018, 5465 melanoma patients were diagnosed and treated with systemic anticancer therapy (SACT), 2322 of which received first‐line CPIs. There was good 3‐year OS concordance with RCT outcomes for ipilimumab (32%), ipinivo (56%) and nivolumab (51%), but OS was lower than expected for pembrolizumab (40%). Comparing patients prescribed ipinivo with those prescribed pembrolizumab, ipinivo‐treated patients were younger (88% vs 49% patients What's new? Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) greatly impact overall survival in metastatic melanoma. In England, CPIs have been used as first‐line therapy for this malignancy since 2014. This retrospective study assessed survival and toxicity among English metastatic melanoma patients prescribed CPIs between 2014 and 2018. For the CPIs ipilimumab, nivolumab, and ipinivo, survival outcomes were remarkably similar to registration trials. Poorer outcomes were associated with pembrolizumab, possibly because patients who received this drug were older and relatively less fit. Ipinivo generated the highest rates of emergency hospital visits and admissions, although 30‐day mortality was unchanged, potentially reflecting effective management of complications. |
