Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy Associated Hypophysitis
Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against CTLA4 T-lymphocyte antigen used as cancer therapy. Immune-related adverse events are common side effects and may include hypophysitis-related hypopituitarism. The clinical features of six patients with ipilimumab-induced hypophysitis (IH) are described. The clinical features of IH reported in clinical trials, including the incidence of IH by ...
متن کاملCheckpoint Blockade Toxicity and Immune Homeostasis in the Gastrointestinal Tract
Monoclonal antibodies targeting the regulatory immune "checkpoint" receptors CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1 are now standard therapy for diverse malignancies including melanoma, lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma. Although effective in many patients and able to induce cures in some, targeting these regulatory pathways has led to a new class of immune-related adverse events. In many respects, these ...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Gastrointestinal Cancers
The expansion of our understanding of tumor immunity and the recent success of new cancer immunotherapy has reignited the hope that we can treat cancer effectively with immunotherapeutic approaches. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown significant efficacy in the treatment of some solid and hematologic malignancies. Encouraged by recent success in some other types of malignancies, many clini...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Current Diagnosis and Management of Immune Related Adverse Events (irAEs) Induced by Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy
The indications of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are set to rise further with the approval of newer agent like atezolimumab for use in patients with advanced stage urothelial carcinoma. More frequent use of ICIs has improved our understanding of their unique side effects, which are known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The spectrum of irAEs has expanded beyond more common manife...
متن کاملEmerging Role of Vedolizumab in Managing Refractory Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Induced Enteritis
We report a 62-year-old white woman with metastatic choroidal melanoma who developed immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced enteritis and grade 3 diarrhea refractory to steroids and infliximab. Her diarrhea quickly resolved after infusion of vedolizumab, and the patient was able to taper down steroids. Vedolizumab's mechanism of action and its gut specificity have the potential to reverse im...
