Abstract
- (1) Background: Ipilimumab plus nivolumab (combo-ICI) improves overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or melanoma. The impact of bone metastases (BM) on survival outcomes of combo-ICI-treated patients is unknown. (2) Methods: This single-center retrospective observational study involved 36 combo-ICI-treated patients with advanced RCC and 35 with melanoma. Clinical and laboratory data preceding the initiation of combo-ICI were collected. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the effect of BM on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). (3) Results: zNine RCC and 11 melanoma patients had baseline BM. In unadjusted analysis, baseline BM was associated with a poorer OS in the RCC cohort. Baseline BM did not have any impact on survival outcomes in melanoma patients. After adjustment on baseline performance status and on neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the impact of BM was no longer significant, but a NLR ≥ 3 was significantly associated with a poorer OS in the RCC cohort. (4) Conclusions: The presence of baseline BM seems to be associated with worse outcomes in RCC combo-ICI-treated patients, while its effect might not be independent from the inflammatory state (approximated by the NLR). BM seems to have no impact on the outcomes of melanoma combo-ICI-treated patients.
