Este protocolo aplica a pacientes con melanoma cutáneo completamente resecado en estadio patológico IIB o IIC según AJCC8, con edad de 12 años o más, abarcando tanto la población adulta como la adolescente.
In the KEYNOTE-716 trial, 976 patients (age 12 years) with completely resected AJCC8 pathological stage IIB-IIC melanoma received intravenous pembrolizumab 200 mg (2 mg/kg in paediatric patients) or placebo every 3 weeks (q3w) for 17 cycles or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.
Adjuvant therapy with either pembrolizumab [ESMO-MCBS v1.1 score: A] or nivolumab [ESMO-MCBS v1.1 score: A] for 12 months should be considered for patients with stage IIB-IIC disease; treatment discussions with the patient should include consideration of the RFS benefit but lack of mature OS data [I, A].
Patients with a negative SLNB can be offered standard follow-up [III, A], clinical trial participation [V, A] or anti-PD-1 therapy for 12 months (stages IIB-IIC) [I, A].
