Long-Term Survival and Biomarker Analysis Evaluating Neoadjuvant Plus Adjuvant Relatlimab (anti-LAG3) and Nivolumab (anti-PD1) in Patients With Resectable Melanoma.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized outcomes for patients with melanoma across multiple disease settings. In patients with advanced, unresectable disease, the ICB combination of nivolumab (anti-PD1) and relatlimab (anti-LAG-3) has demonstrated improved clinical outcomes compared with nivolumab monotherapy. There exists an unmet need to identify biomarkers that predict response to this combination regimen and rational therapeutic strategies to overcome resistance.
