Abstract

The approval of ipilimumab for the treatment of melanoma is a major step forward in cancer immunotherapy. The randomized Phase II trials yielded improvement in irPFS in both small-cell lung cancer and non-squamous-cell lung cancer patients treated with two cycles of chemotherapy followed by chemotherapy combined with ipilimumab. Ipilimumab is currently being evaluated for the treatment of squamous-cell lung cancer and small-cell lung cancer.
