Infusion reaction to nivolumab in a metastatic melanoma patient. Safe switch to another anti-programmed death-1: a case report

imageNowadays, anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibodies are the first-line treatment for metastatic malignant melanoma. An infusion reaction is an adverse event that could occur due to monoclonal antibodies administration and requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. In this article, we report on a case of stage IV malignant melanoma treated with nivolumab, in which a severe infusion reaction occurred, manifesting as flushing and hypotension followed by bronchospasm. The switch to pembrolizumab was both a well-tolerated and effective therapeutic alternative.
