Opdivo/Yervoy combo - Study

[Susi3]

An encouraging Opdivo/Yervoy study was presented at ASCO recently, which gave me a little more hope for the future.

Yervoy (ipilimumab) is an anti-CTLA-4, which apparently has higher risk of serious side-effects than some other immuno drugs.

I wonder if anyone here can comment on their experience with yervoy/opdivo? Did it help you? Did you have manageable side effects?

Hi Susi- I have clear cell ovarian cancer and received three cycles of opdivo/yervoy, and am continuing with opdivo as a maintenance immunotherapy every three weeks. I’ve had minimal side effects. The worst being itching and some rashes. The good news is my tumor in my psoas muscle has shrunken,and my CA 125 marker has dropped significantly. I’ve been very pleased with the results so far and wish you all the best. Leni
