18F-FDG PET/CT longitudinal studies in patients with advanced metastatic melanoma for response evaluation of combination treatment with vemurafenib and ipilimumab.

TL;DR: 16 BRAF-mutation positive, metastatic melanoma patients with highly advanced disease received combination therapy of vemurafenib and ipilimumab as an individual treatment decision to assess the role of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the evaluation of the clinical benefit (CB) of this combination treatment.

Pooled Analysis of Long-Term Survival Data From Phase II and Phase III Trials of Ipilimumab in Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

TL;DR: A plateau in the survival curve was observed, beginning at approximately 3 years, which was independent of prior therapy or ipilimumab dose, and added to the evidence supporting the durability of long-term survival in ipILimumab-treated patients with advanced melanoma.
