Severe immune-related adverse events of immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials

Jingjing Gu et al.

Summary: This network meta-analysis provides a comprehensive toxicity profile and safety ranking of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study found that, apart from platinum-based chemotherapy, pembrolizumab + platinum, nivolumab, atezolizumab, and camrelizumab + platinum may be associated with lower rates of immune-related adverse events (irAEs).

Association Between Sex and Immune-Related Adverse Events During Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

Ying Jing et al.

Summary: Analysis of clinical study data, pharmacovigilance data, and genomic data revealed minimal sex-associated differences in immune-related adverse events (irAEs) among cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Therefore, considering sex effects for irAE management in clinical practice may be unnecessary.

Lessons from Pharmacovigilance: Pulmonary Immune-Related Adverse Events After Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

Stephen W. Reese et al.

Summary: The study identified associations between immune checkpoint inhibitors and pulmonary toxicities, including pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary embolism, and respiratory failure. The research also found other associations with immune checkpoint inhibitors, although not consistently across all agents. Many of these immune-related adverse drug reactions were severe and contributed to a significant source of mortality in reported cases.

Meta-analysis of immune-related adverse events in phase 3 clinical trials assessing immune checkpoint inhibitors for lung cancer

Alvise Berti et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the toxicity of ICIs in lung cancer patients, finding that immunotherapy has a lower risk of irAEs compared to chemotherapy, especially in monoimmunotherapy. Detailed comparisons between different ICIs provided treatment-related risk profiles for organ-specific irAEs.

A Network Comparison on Safety Profiling of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Advanced Lung Cancer

Yi-Dan Yan et al.

Summary: This study compared the risk of adverse events across different immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) regimens in patients with advanced lung cancer. The findings suggested that treatments containing chemotherapy increased the risk of treatment-related adverse events compared to ICI-based regimens without chemotherapy. Among various ICI-based treatments, ICI monotherapy + chemotherapy was considered a better choice based on the overall immune-related safety profiles.

Risk of pneumonitis in cancer patients treated with PARP inhibitors: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and a pharmacovigilance study of the FAERS database

Zhuo Ma et al.

Summary: PARP inhibitors increase the risk of pneumonitis in clinical practice, which can lead to serious outcomes and tend to occur early. Early recognition and management of PARPi-pneumonitis is crucial.

Immune-related adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors: An updated comprehensive disproportionality analysis of the FDA adverse event reporting system

Chen Chen et al.

Summary: This study analyzed immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and found different characteristics of irAEs among different ICI regimens. Pembrolizumab had the highest fatality proportion, while ipilimumab plus pembrolizumab had the shortest median time to onset irAEs. Further studies are needed to assess potential clinically relevant differences among ICIs.

Mechanisms Driving Immune-Related Adverse Events in Cancer Patients Treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

David J. Lee et al.

Summary: In the past decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have significantly changed the field of cancer treatment. The development of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) is driven by ICI-induced activation of the immune system, with possible mechanisms including activation of cytotoxic T cells, B cells, direct molecular mimicry, intracellular signaling, and gut microbiome composition. More research is needed to understand irAEs and develop effective monitoring and management strategies.
