Keywords Relativity 48, melanoma, triple therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, safety, efficacy, ASCO 2024 Takeaways The Relativity 48 study is a significant advancement in melanoma treatment. Triple therapy includes nivolumab, rlatlimab, and ipilimumab. Safety profile shows 100% of patients experienced adverse events. Median PFS has not been reached, indicating ongoing efficacy evaluation. The objective response rate was reported at 59%. Patient selection may introduce bias in treatment outcomes. Future studies are needed to confirm safety and efficacy in broader populations. LAG3 blockade's dose responsiveness remains an open question. Community oncologists are sensitive to toxicity issues in treatment. The study has not yet been published, awaiting further analysis.
