Administration of ipilimumab to a liver transplant recipient with unresectable metastatic melanoma.   
ABSTRACT
The CTLA-4 immune checkpoint inhibitor ipilimumab improves overall survival in metastatic melanoma. Its use in organ transplant recipients has not been studied and has been reported once in the literature. We report the case of a 59-year-old liver transplant patient who was given ipilimumab after previous treatment for advanced melanoma. She did not experience organ rejection, immune-related adverse events, or evidence of tumor regression.
