Real-world data provide an opportunity to understand treatment patterns, toxicity, and clinical outcomes among patients treated outside of clinical trials. This study confirms that patients with advanced melanoma and baseline renal or hepatic dysfunction are being treated with ICI therapy more frequently as monotherapy than in combination therapy. For those real-world patients with normal baseline organ function, emergent renal and hepatic dysfunction are both more common in patients treated with combination versus ICI monotherapy.
