Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-induced Thyroid Disorders: A Single Center Experience

Armando Patrizio et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the development of thyroid dysfunction in cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The results showed that all patients eventually developed persistent hypothyroidism, regardless of the initial presentation. Changes in thyroid volume could be helpful in the diagnostic work-up.

Associations between immune-related thyroid dysfunction and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Yee-Ming Melody Cheung et al.

Summary: The development of immune-related thyroid dysfunction during immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy is associated with improved overall survival and progression free survival for cancer patients. This suggests that thyroid immune-related adverse events can be used as a surrogate marker for clinical response to ICIs.

Association of Antithyroid Antibodies in Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated Thyroid Immune-Related Adverse Events

Christopher A. Muir et al.

Summary: This study found that positivity for TPOAb and TgAb at baseline was more prevalent in patients who developed thyroid irAEs, particularly overt thyrotoxicosis. During ICI treatment, significant increases in TgAb and TPOAb titers were associated with overt thyrotoxicosis. TPOAb and TgAb positivity or increases during ICI treatment may be a useful biomarker to identify patients at increased risk of thyroid irAEs.

Optimal Thyroid Hormone Replacement Dose in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated Hypothyroidism Is Distinct from Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

Tina Mosaferi et al.

Summary: Patients with ICI-associated hypothyroidism have different thyroid hormone dosing requirements than patients with HT. Based on our findings and prior reports, we recommend that in patients with ICI-associated thyroiditis LT4 therapy be started at an initial weight-based dose of 1.45 mcg/[kg center dot day] once serum free thyroxine levels fall below the reference range.

Immune Related Adverse Events of the Thyroid - A Narrative Review

Christopher A. Muir et al.

Summary: The translated article introduces immune checkpoints, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and the association of thyroid dysfunction with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Thyroid irAEs may be associated with increased immune toxicity in other organ systems and longer progression-free and overall survival.

Endocrine-related adverse conditions in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibition: an ESE clinical practice guideline

Eystein S. Husebye et al.

Summary: This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the treatment and follow-up of patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced endocrine side-effects. A systematic approach to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up is needed, including baseline tests of endocrine function before each treatment cycle. There is no clear evidence for the benefit of high-dose glucocorticoids in treating endocrine toxicities, with the possible exceptions of severe thyroid eye disease and hypophysitis affecting the visual apparatus. Most endocrine dysfunctions appear to be permanent regardless of ICI discontinuation.

The clinical utility of comprehensive measurement of autoimmune disease-related antibodies in patients with advanced solid tumors receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors: a retrospective study

N. Izawa et al.

Summary: The clinical utility of comprehensive measurement of autoimmune disease-related antibodies (Abs) before immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is limited for predicting immune-related adverse events (irAEs). However, Tg and TPO Abs are risk factors for the development of ICI-induced thyroid dysfunction.

Improved survival in patients with thyroid function test abnormalities secondary to immune-checkpoint inhibitors

Joana Lima Ferreira et al.

Summary: Immune-checkpoint inhibitors can lead to thyroid function abnormalities, including primary and central hypothyroidism, which may be predictive of improved clinical outcomes and response to ICI treatment across different types of neoplasms.

Baseline serum TSH levels predict the absence of thyroid dysfunction in cancer patients treated with immunotherapy

L. Brilli et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify predictive factors for the development of thyroid dysfunction during immunotherapy in patients with metastatic or unresectable advanced cancers treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Results showed that pre-treatment serum TSH and ATAbs levels may help to identify patients at high risk for primary thyroid dysfunction. This suggests guidance for appropriate screening and management of thyroid dysfunctions in patients undergoing ICIs treatment.

Are radiologists ready to evaluate true response to immunotherapy?

Inci Kizildag Yirgin et al.

Summary: Standardized response criteria are crucial in evaluating radiological imaging for cancer management, with immunotherapy showing promise in treating chemotherapy-resistant cancers using immune checkpoint inhibitors. Further research is needed to validate the latest immune-RECIST criteria in response assessment and to address challenges in tumor evaluation and management faced by radiologists.

Characteristics of Immune-Related Thyroid Adverse Events in Patients Treated with PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors

Jee Hee Yoon et al.

Summary: Thyroid immune-related adverse events are common in cancer patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, with the majority of patients being able to recover normal thyroid function. However, some patients may progress to overt hypothyroidism and require thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Risk factors for developing overt hypothyroidism include higher baseline thyroid stimulating hormone levels and longer duration of therapy.

Summary: This study found that thyroid dysfunctions induced by anti-PD-1 were not an independent predictive factor for progression-free survival in metastatic melanoma patients, but seemed to be associated with a better treatment response and increased overall survival.
