Regimen

Nivolumab + ipilimumab (melanoma, 1L metastatic)

Pre-treatment investigations

Investigations before treatment start · critical / standard / desired · merged across tracks

ID	Name	Priority	Category	Where to order	Needed for
TEST-CECT-CAP	CECT chest/abdomen/pelvis	Critical	imaging	—	all tracks
TEST-LDH	Lactate Dehydrogenase	Critical	lab	—	standard
TEST-BRAIN-MRI-CONTRAST	Brain MRI with contrast	Standard	—	—	all tracks

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track

LDH >2x ULN OR severe hepatic dysfunction — predictor of inferior ICI outcomes.RF-MELANOMA-ORGAN-DYSFUNCTION
Symptomatic CNS metastases — ICI doublet (nivo+ipi) intracranially active; BRAFi+MEKi for visceral crisis.RF-MELANOMA-TRANSFORMATION-PROGRESSION

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity

Standard plan (IND-MELANOMA-ADJUVANT-PEMBRO-STAGE-III)

Do not start adjuvant IO without negative baseline brain MRI with contrast — occult cerebral metastases are a frequent finding.
Do not skip baseline TSH / cortisol / glucose — endocrine irAE are the most frequent, and pre-existing endocrinopathies change management.
Do not start later than 12 weeks from surgery — KEYNOTE-054 window is shorter; benefit poorly characterized after that.
Do not continue with gr ≥3 irAE without reassessing benefit/risk — adjuvant is curative intent, threshold for permanent discontinuation lower than metastatic.
Do not combine with immunosuppression or live vaccines.
Do not skip pre-treatment counseling — irAE may be permanent (endocrinopathies) and impact quality of life more than relapse in some scenarios.

Standard plan (IND-MELANOMA-METASTATIC-1L-PEMBRO-MONO)

Do not start pembrolizumab without baseline TSH / cortisol / glucose — endocrine irAE are the most frequent.
Do not ignore active autoimmune disease — relative contraindication, assess risk/benefit with rheumatologist.
Do not skip baseline brain MRI with contrast — cerebral metastases are often asymptomatic in melanoma.
Do not continue with gr ≥3 irAE without high-dose steroids (1-2 mg/kg prednisolone-equivalent) — delay in management can be fatal.
Do not combine with immunosuppressants / live vaccines during treatment.
Do not prescribe with ECOG ≥3 — limited data, palliative approach more appropriate.
