#3070 Activity and Safety of Avelumab in Merkel Cell Carcinoma: Our Experience

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. The use of checkpoint inhibitors has shown good results in the treatment of advanced MCC. Avelumab is a PD-L1 inhibitor able to prevent the inactivation of the T lymphocytes. We report a serie of consecutive MCC cases treated with Avelumab in two centres
