LAG3-PD1 or CTLA4-PD1 Inhibition in Advanced Melanoma: Indirect Cross Comparisons of the CheckMate-067 and RELATIVITY-047 Trials.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare the inhibition of LAG3-PD1 versus the inhibition of CTLA-4-PD1 in patients with previously untreated advanced melanoma. Methods: The individual participant data (IPD) were extracted from the KM plots using a graphical reconstructive algorithm. Log-rank, Cox proportional hazard model, Bayesian hierarchical model with time-varying hazard ratio (HR) effect, and restricted mean survival time (RMST) were performed to estimate survival benefits. Results: The CheckMate-067 (n = 630) and RELATIVITY-047 (n = 714) trials were included for analysis. The graphical reconstructive algorithm showed that IPD had similar HRs and log-rank values as the original plots. The HR of nivolumab plus relatlimab (LAG3 inhibitor) versus nivolumab plus ipilimuma
