Low triglyceride levels are associated with increased risk of immune-related adverse events in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer therapy by enhancing anti-tumor immune responses, yet their use can lead to immune-related adverse events (irAE), including neurological complications. Despite their clinical relevance, predictive biomarkers for irAE remain scarce, and early identification of at-risk patients is a major unmet need. In this prospective study, 200 patients undergoing ICI therapy were enrolled, of whom 59 underwent longitudinal metabolomic profiling at baseline, three months, and six months.

Complement activation profiles in patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated neuromuscular immune-related adverse events.

Background: Immune-related neuropathy (irNeuropathy) and myositis (irMyositis) are the most common neurologic adverse events (irAE-n) associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Although case reports suggest benefits of complement inhibitors, the role of complement activation in irAE-n is understudied.

Methods: In a retrospective multicenter study, we enrolled patients with irNeuropathy or irMyositis, cancer controls (CCs), and healthy controls (HCs).

Characterization of Hospital Admissions During Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy: Insights From the ICOG Study.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved the therapeutic arsenal in outpatient oncology care; however, data on necessity of hospitalizations associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are scarce. Here, we characterized hospitalizations of patients undergoing ICI, from the prospective cohort study of the immune cooperative oncology group (ICOG) Hannover.

Methods: Between 12/2019 and 06/2022, 237 patients were included.
