Evaluation of Hospitalization for Complications of Autoimmune Disease Following Ipilimumab Treatment Among Melanoma Patients With Underlying Autoimmune Diseases Treated in Routine Clinical Practices in the US
The research questions to be addressed by this study are as follows:
1. What is the prevalence of ipilimumab use among adults with a history of autoimmune
disease that received treatment with ipilimumab for advanced melanoma?
2. Do melanoma patients with a history of autoimmune disease experience complications that
require hospitalization related to their underlying autoimmune disease following
treatment with ipilimumab?
