There's a bunch of different immuno types for melanoma (and other cancers). That one is a combo of nivolumab (aka Opdivo) and relatlimab.
Nivo is used a lot for melanoma, also commonly in combo with ipi (ipilimumab, yervoy). Pembro (keytruda) is the other common one.
Anyway, any of these can have adverse effects so patients are closely monitored.
For me, my thyroid didn't like nivo much but recovered. But we stopped after a couple of cycles of ipi+nivo because I was starting to develop colitis. And more importantly it wasn't slowing development of my melanomas.
