A Japanese postmarketing survey of panitumumab revealed that panitumumab-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) occurred in approximately 1% (19/1767) of patients, causing death in 36.8% of these cases.
We report the case of a 60-year-old Japanese man who developed ILD associated with panitumumab therapy (third-line therapy) for metastatic sigmoid colon cancer involving the liver, lymph nodes, and lungs. 2 months after the initiation of panitumumab therapy, he developed a progressive nonproductive cough, dyspnea, and a fever, and was diagnosed with ILD. Intravenous pulse methylprednisolone treatment led to quick recovery. The patient had some risk factors for ILD associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Further studies are required to elucidate the association between anti-EGFR antibodies and ILD.
一项关于帕尼单抗的日本上市后调查显示,帕尼单抗相关的间质性肺病(ILD)发生在约1%(19/1767)的患者中,其中36.8%的病例导致死亡。
我们报告了一名60岁日本男性的病例,他因转移性乙状结肠癌累及肝脏、淋巴结和肺部接受帕尼单抗治疗(三线治疗)时发生了ILD。帕尼单抗治疗开始2个月后,他出现进行性干咳、呼吸困难和发热,并被诊断为ILD。静脉注射甲基强的松龙脉冲治疗后迅速康复。该患者有一些与表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)-酪氨酸激酶抑制剂相关的ILD危险因素。
需要进一步研究以阐明抗EGFR抗体与ILD之间的关联。
