Should we be Afraid of Immune Check Point Inhibitors in Cancer Patients with Pre-Existing Rheumatic Diseases? Immunotherapy in Pre-Existing Rheumatic Diseases

Background: Cancer immunotherapy is rapidly expanding but its clinical efficacy is hampered by immune related adverse events (ir-AE). There is a concern regarding patients with pre-existing auto-immune diseases (PAD) undergoing immunotherapy. Methods: An electronic search was performed (Medline) to...

There is a concern regarding patients with pre-existing auto-immune diseases (PAD) undergoing immunotherapy. Methods: An electronic search was performed (Medline) to identify cases of patients with PAD treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Results: Published data are rather limited but continue to emerge. Patients with PAD exhibit a high risk of PAD flare and/or de novo ir-AE. In most cases PAD flares and de novo irAEs were not severe and could be managed effectively with standard treatment. Conclusions: This risk in patients with PAD appears acceptable, and therefore, these patients could receive immunotherapy under close monitoring. Collaboration of oncologists and rheumatologists for the management of these patients is crucial.Kalliopi KlavdianouKonstantinos MelissaropoulosAlexandra FilippopoulouDimitrios DaoussisPCO Convin S.A.articleimmune checkpoint inhibitorscancer immunotherapy pre-existing rheumatic diseasesrheumatic diseasesDiseases of the musculoskeletal systemRC925-935ENMediterranean Journal of Rheumatology, Vol 32, Iss 3, Pp 218-226 (2021)
