October 2015 December 2015 January 2016 Discovery of left axillary lymphadenopathy Biopsy CAP CT Head MRI : No lesions Melanoma metastasis, NRAS mutation BRAF WT
CAP CT 04/01/16
Left axillary lymphadenopathy 10 x 5,2 cm No pulmonary, visceral or bone lesions
+Multi-disciplinary Consultation Meeting 12/01/16
Aggressive melanoma stage III C No surgery :
Inflammatory skin Fast growing
PS 0 Systemic therapy Nivolumab + Ipilimumab
+History of present illness
18 Jan 16 8 Feb 16 29 Fev 16 C1 C3 : no injection C2 Nivolumab 3 mg/ kg Ipilimumab 1 mg / kg well tolerated 15 Feb 16 Head CT Impaired vision Headache Vitiligo
Head CT 29/02/16
Enlargement of the pituitary gland volume measured at 9 mm
(versus 6 mm) : evocative of hypophysitis
No brain or meningeal lesion
+Assessment of hypophysitis
Hormonal tests
TSH, T3, T4 normal Cortisol normal FSH, LH normal
Endocrinologist’s advice :
Intravenous corticosteroids bolus of 1 mg / kg / day for 3 days Followed by oral corticosteroids 1 mg / kg / day : 100 mg/ day
+History of present illness
Improvement of impaired vision and headaches C3 21/03/2016:
Nivolumab 3 mg/ kg + Ipilimumab 1 mg / kg
Discovery of a hepatitis :
Cytolysis: ALAT 100 N, ASAT 50 N Cholestasis : GGT 3 N, Bilirubine N TP 82%, Factor V normal Grade 4 Grade 3
+Assessment of Hepatitis
No new medications Liver US 25/03/16 :
Homogenous hepatomegaly, no focal lesion, bile duct
dilatation, vesicular microlithiasis
Auto-immune assessment Bacterial analysis Viral serology: HIV
, HAV , HBV , HCV
PCR CMV
, EBV , HSV Negative
+Assessment of Hepatitis
Immune-mediated hepatitis under corticosteroids No sign of hepatic failure Hepatologist’s advice :
Maintain of corticosteroids Monitoring of liver function tests and hemostasis No hepatotoxic medications If increase in cytolysis: liver biopsy
+Immune-related adverse effects : Ipilimumab

+Conclusion
Persistance of a complete response 9 month after the 3rd and last injection of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab for a stage III melanoma
Restrospective study 2011-2013 298 patients with melanoma included Ipililumab 3 mg/ kg 103 patients (35%) required corticosteroid 29 (10%) required anti-TNFα therapy
