Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPIs) are novel therapeutic agents targeting a variety of cancers by enhanced T cell activation. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) commonly occur with ICPI use and can affect multiple organ systems including the gastrointestinal tract. Due to irAEs, the use of ICPIs is limited in autoimmune diseases. We present a case of microscopic colitis diagnosed after the initiation of nivolumab and a case of ipilimumab colitis and in the setting of Crohn's colitis.
免疫检查点抑制剂(ICPIs)是一类通过增强T细胞活化来靶向多种癌症的新型治疗药物。使用ICPIs时常见免疫相关不良事件(irAEs),可影响包括胃肠道在内的多个器官系统。由于irAEs,ICPIs在自身免疫性疾病中的应用受到限制。我们报告了1例在使用纳武单抗后诊断出的显微镜下结肠炎病例以及1例在克罗恩结肠炎背景下出现的伊匹单抗结肠炎病例。
