New Reference: Nivolumab with Ipilimumab for Non-Colorectal MSI-H/dMMR Tumors

The MOST-CIRCUIT trial showed that combined treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab achieved a high objective response rate and prolonged progression-free survival in patients with advanced mismatch repair-deficient, microsatellite instability-high noncolorectal cancers. The six-month progression-free survival was 71%, and the treatment was associated with a manageable safety profile with the most common severe adverse events being immune-related.
