The effectiveness and safety of nivolumab, an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 mAbmonoclonal antibody, in patients with renal replacement therapy is unclear, with limited evidence supporting its usefulness in this context. Therefore, we report a case of recurrent metastatic melanoma in a patient on haemodialysis successfully treated with nivolumab. As seen in patients without renal impairment, significant regression of the lesions was observed after 8 weeks of treatment, reaching complete clinical response after 4 months. During follow-up, no dose adjustment, delay, or treatment suspension due to toxicity were required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
