Updated HRQoL results (median follow-up, 19.3 months) are presented.Methods:Patients were randomised to receive intravenous NIVO + RELA (480 mg and 160 mg, respectively) or NIVO (480 mg) every 4 weeks. HRQoL was assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment-Melanoma (FACT-M) and EQ-5D-3L questionnaires at baseline, before dosing at each treatment cycle, and at follow-up (posttreatment) visits.Results:Consistent with the initial analysis, HRQoL remained stable with NIVO + RELA on treatment and was similar to that with NIVO. Mean changes from baseline did not exceed clinically meaningful thresholds. HRQoL results were consistent across instruments and scales/subscales. Despite an increased rate of grade three or four TRAEs with NIVO + RELA versus NIVO, the proportion of patients reporting that they were bothered 'quite a bit' or 'very much' by TRAEs was low and comparable between treatments.Conclusion:Results from the RELATIVITY-047 trial show that the PFS benefit with NIVO + RELA FDC over NIVO was obtained with stable patient-reported HRQoL, supporting NIVO + RELA as a first-line treatment option for patients with advanced melanoma.}, cin = {ED01}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-He78)ED01-20160331}, pnm = {899 - ohne Topic (POF4-899)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-899}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, doi = {10.1016/j.ejca.2023.03.014}, url = {https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/276328}, }
