Checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis is a rare but life-threatening toxicity of immunotherapy, occasionally manifesting as persistent troponin elevation. Dual checkpoint blockade with ipilimumab and nivolumab has been found to induce immune-related myocarditis in patients with metastatic melanoma. We herein report a case of smoldering immune-related myocarditis in a 54-year-old male after a single infusion of nivolumab plus ipilimumab as adjuvant treatment for completely resected stage IV melanoma. High-dose steroid treatment resulted in decrease in the levels of cardiac enzymes, without any major complications.
检查点抑制剂性心肌炎是一种罕见但危及生命的免疫治疗毒性反应,偶尔表现为持续性肌钙蛋白升高。伊匹单抗和纳武单抗的双重检查点阻断已被发现可诱导转移性黑色素瘤患者发生免疫相关性心肌炎。我们在此报告一例 54 岁男性病例,在完全切除的 IV 期黑色素瘤接受纳武单抗联合伊匹单抗辅助治疗后,单次输注后出现亚临床免疫相关性心肌炎。大剂量类固醇治疗可降低心肌酶水平,且无任何重大并发症。
