Relatlimab, a LAG-3 inhibitor, in combination with nivolumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, has recently emerged as a dual ICI strategy targeting T-cell exhaustion. This case illustrates the potential synergistic effect of sequential LAG-3/PD-1 inhibition followed by radiation therapy in eliciting systemic immune activation in AM. It represents the first reported instance of an abscopal effect associated with relatlimab-based immunotherapy, suggesting that strategic sequencing of immunotherapy and radiation may be critical in overcoming immune resistance in this challenging melanoma subtype.
HFCs were exposed for 48h to Nivolumab plus Relatlimab, Ipilimumab, or Atezolizumab, either alone or in triplet combinations. Our findings demonstrate that ICI triplets elicit potent immune activation against cardiomyocytes, providing the first preclinical evidence of direct cardiotoxic potential in this setting. These results highlight the need for enhanced clinical surveillance and cardio-oncology monitoring in patients receiving triple ICI combinations, as these regimens expand in clinical practice.
