Abstract

The incidence of skin melanoma is growing globally and in Russia. Also, the proportion of patients with advanced skin melanoma prevails. Introduction into clinical practice of a novel group of immunological drugs (anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD-1) for metastatic melanoma increased the time to disease progression and patients' life expectancy. Prolgolimab is a PD-1 inhibitor, a new domestic drug that is effective and safe in treating metastatic melanoma. The article presents authors' experience with prolgolimab. When used in the first-line treatment of metastatic melanoma, this drug achieved long-term stabilization of the disease. The drug showed good tolerability, including in patients with severe comorbidity.
