Checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, are a promising new category of oncological therapeutics, associated with a higher risk of immune-related adverse events including dermatological, autoimmune and endocrine sequelae. Here, we present a case of a woman 76 years of age with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma who developed a severe and steroid-refractory lichenoid dermatitis associated with pruritus on pembrolizumab. This eruption resolved completely with a short course of oral cyclosporine. Cyclosporine is a promising and effective treatment option for checkpoint inhibitor-related severe cutaneous eruptions.
检查点抑制剂,如抗 PD-1 单克隆抗体 pembrolizumab,是一类很有前途的肿瘤治疗新药,与包括皮肤、自身免疫和内分泌后遗症在内的免疫相关不良事件的风险升高相关。在此,我们报告了一例 76 岁女性患者,患有 IV 期肺腺癌,在接受 pembrolizumab 治疗后发生了严重的、类固醇难治性苔藓样皮炎,并伴有瘙痒。该皮疹在短疗程的环孢素治疗后完全消退。环孢素是一种有前途的、有效的治疗选择,可用于治疗检查点抑制剂相关的严重皮肤不良反应。
