14. Checkpoint Inhibitors Toxicities
• Result from inappropriate recognition of normal tissues by T cells, leading
to autoimmune tissue destruction.
• Side effects are generally mild and infrequent, but when they do occur,
they can be serious and even life threatening if not identified and treated
in a timely manner. Early recognition and treatment is essential.
• Need to be distinguished from other causes, especially infectious causes
or underlying disease
• Toxicities can be long-lasting, even after therapy discontinuation. Some
toxicities appear after therapy discontinuation.
• Some toxicities are irreversible (i.e. hypothyroidism, adrenal
insufficiency) and require long-term monitoring
17. General guidelines:
• Low grade toxicities (grade 1-2): observe, hold drug, topical steroids
( Rash – topical hydrocortisone; Diarrhea – budesonide)
• Medium grade toxicities (grade 2-3): hold, oral systemic steroids
(prednisone, methylprednisolone), closer monitoring
• High grade toxicities (grade 3-4): admit, IV steroids
• Steroid-refractory toxicities: other immunosuppressant agents
(Mycophenolate Mofetil for liver toxicity; Infliximab for other toxicities)
18. Toxicity Guidelines (non-protocol)

Fatal autoimmune myocarditis with rhabdomyolysis and refractory arrhythmias developed in two patients treated with a combination of anti–CTLA-4 and anti–PD-1 blockers.
On histologic examination, a myocardial infiltrate suggested acute cardiac allograft rejection.
Figure 1 Results on ECG and Immune Effects in Cardiac Muscle after Treatment with Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in Patient 1. Patient 1 had rapid progression to complete heart block (as shown on electrocardiography [ECG] in Panel A), followed by ventricular tachycardia (Panel B). Autopsy revealed lymphocytic infiltration of the myocardium (shown in the intraventricular septum in Panel C; staining with hematoxylin and eosin). The inflammatory infiltrate included CD3-positive T lymphocytes (Panel D), many of which were positive for CD8 (Panel E). Only cardiac and skeletal muscle was affected; smooth muscle and other tissues were spared (Panel F, hematoxylin and eosin). The black arrow points to esophageal smooth muscle without immune infiltration, and the green arrow points to esophageal skeletal muscle, which is heavily infiltrated by immune cells.
Background: With recent FDA approvals of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of advanced cancer, an increasing number of elderly patients will be treated with immunotherapy. Nivolumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor, currently approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell cancer, melanoma, and non-small cell lung cancer based on significant responses including benefit in overall survival. However, little is known about the safety of nivolumab in an elderly patient population. Methods: Eligible patients received at least one dose of nivolumab as a single agent while enrolled in a phase 3 registration trial for the treatment of advanced renal cell cancer (CA209025), melanoma (CA209066), or non-small lung cancer (CA209057 and CA209017). Adverse events which occurred up to 100 days after last dose of nivolumab based on standardized adverse event datasets submitted by the sponsor were included. Results: See table. Conclusions: Immune therapies can benefit patients across a wide range of tumors. Currently there is little known about the safety of nivolumab in elderly patients. This exploratory analysis suggests that nivolumab is well tolerated in the elderly population in terms of adverse events. These data should be validated in larger patient cohorts, with specifically targeted age ranges to reflect the aging cancer population. The inclusion of greater numbers of elderly patients in registration clinical trials will further inform clinicians on the safety of immune based therapies in the elderly.
Each drug is metabolized differently
Other drugs patients are taking may influence the PARP Inhibitor levels
Drug interactions can occur based on CYP inhibition or induction

Tumor angiogenesis is the proliferation of a network of blood vessels that penetrates into cancerous growths, supplying nutrients and oxygen and removing waste products. Tumor angiogenesis actually starts with cancerous tumor cells releasing molecules that send signals to surrounding normal host tissue. This signaling activates certain genes in the host tissue that, in turn, make proteins to encourage growth of new blood vessels.
Grade 3 or greater toxicity: black, chemotherapy plus bevacizumab; stripes, chemotherapy alone.
