Abstract

The authors used a meta-analysis to evaluate the risks of gastrointestinal adverse events in the cotreatment of malignant tumors with nivolumab and ipilimumab. The meta-analysis revealed that the most common gastrointestinal adverse event at all grades was diarrhea, followed by nausea, decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation, colitis and abdominal pain. The most common severe gastrointestinal adverse events were colitis and diarrhea. Different administration schemes differ in the risk of such events, and thus these events may be minimized by modulating the administration scheme of the cotreatment.
