Abstract 1092P
Background
Previous studies demonstrate limited efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with irresectable acral melanoma (AM) compared to cutaneous melanoma (CM) in other locations. However, little is known about the outcomes of adjuvant therapy for resectable stage III-IV AM. This study aims to compare clinical outcomes after treatment with adjuvant anti-PD-1 in resectable stage III-IV AM and compare them to CM.
Methods
All patients with stage III-IV AM and CM who received adjuvant anti-PD-1 after complete resection between 2017 and 2022 were included from the prospective nationwide Dutch Melanoma Treatment Registry. We described baseline characteristics and analyzed the recurrence-free survival (RFS). A multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed to account for potential confounders age, performance status (ECOG), AJCC 8th edition disease stage, mutation status. Type of recurrence (locoregional or distant metastases) and toxicity rates will be presented at the conference.
Results
In total, 1977 patients (86 AM and 1891 CM) were included. At baseline, KIT mutations were more common in AM patients. In addition, AM patients more often had higher AJCC 8 disease stages. No other significantly different baseline characteristics were identified. Median follow-up was 16.4 months. The median RFS was 14.8 months (95%CI: 11.5-29.7) for the AM cohort and 37.4 months (95%CI: 32.1 - NR) for the CM cohort (p=.002)). After correcting for potential confounders, AM remained associated with higher risk of recurrence than CM (HRadj 1.55; 95%CI: 1.09-2.19; p=.014). Table: 1092P
Baseline characteristics and median RFS stratified by melanoma type.
AM (n=86) | CM (n=1891) | P-value | ||
Median age (IQR) | 65 [54, 72] | 64 [54, 73] | .984 | |

Median RFS (months; 95% CI) | 14.8 (11.5-29.3) | 37.4 (32.1-NA) | .002 |
Conclusions
This study suggests that AM patients treated with adjuvant anti-PD-1 have shorter RFS than CM patients receiving the same treatment. Longer follow-up is needed to investigate overall survival and distant-metastasis-free survival.
