Real-world data analyses unveiled the immune-related adverse effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors across cancer types
Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated significant survival benefits in treating many types of cancers. However, their immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have not been systematically evaluated across cancer types in large-scale real-world populations. To address this gap, we cond...

Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated significant survival benefits in treating many types of cancers. However, their immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have not been systematically evaluated across cancer types in large-scale real-world populations. To address this gap, we conducted real-world data analyses using nationwide insurance claims data with 85.97 million enrollees across 8 years. We identified a significantly increased risk of developing irAEs among patients receiving immunotherapy agents in all seven cancer types commonly treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
