A242 DELAYED STEROID TAPER MAY REDUCE RISK OF RELAPSE IN PATIENTS WITH IMMUNE CHECKPOINT INHIBITOR ASSOCIATED HEPATOTOXICIT
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have become the cornerstone of treatment of certain malignancies. However, they can result in systemic toxicities including hepatitis. Societal guidelines recommend initial management with high dose steroids, then a slow taper as hepatitis resolves. However, there is significant variation in steroid response with some patients experiencing a relapse of hepatitis as steroid doses are tapered (“steroid relapse”). Purpose Identify clinical features that predict relapse, and to explore variations in steroid management, in patients with ICI hepatotoxicity. Method Patients receiving ICI in early phase clinical trials at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, or treated at the Toronto Centre for Liver Disease for ICI hepatotoxicity, were included. Patients with CTCAE Grade (G)3 ICI hepatotoxicity (ALT >5 x ULN) were identified and clinical records reviewed for management and outcomes. Patients with an alternate cause for ALT elevation; who did not receive corticosteroids; or with HCC or viral hepatitis, were excluded. Result(s) Between August 2012 and December 2021, 36 patients with G3 ICI hepatotoxicity were identified. Most (23; 64%) had metastatic melanoma. Thirteen received anti-CTLA-4/PD-1; 18 anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1, and 5 anti-CTLA-4 monotherapy. All patients initially received corticosteroids (1-2mg/kg/day methylprednisone equivalent). Thirteen patients (36%) were steroid relapsers. Consistent steroid response was seen in 18 (50%). Age, sex, liver metastases, prior ICI exposure, peak ALT or starting dose of steroids (≤1.5 vs >1.5mg/kg/day methylprednisolone equivalents) did not predict relapse, although relapsers were more likely to have been treated with combination anti-CTLA-4/PD-1 (7 (54%) relapsers, vs 3 (16%) responders, p = 0.02). Relapse occurred after a median of 14.5 days (range 8-111), and after taper to median 54% (5-100) of initial steroid dose. In responders, ALT normalisation occurred after median 14 days (range 3-56). In 27 patients where sufficient data were available, societal guidelines on ALT thresholds to initiate steroid taper were followed in 13 (48%; 6 relapsers and 7 responders). However, initiation of steroid taper was delayed in responders compared to relapsers (after median 7 days (2-15) in responders vs 4 days (range 2-9) in relapsers, p = 0.04). Overall, 5 relapsers responded to re-escalation of steroids. Eight required additional treatment with MMF, and 4 required 3rd line therapy with Tacrolimus. Ultimately, hepatitis resolved in all patients. Conclusion(s) In patients with ICI hepatotoxicity, combination ICI therapy confers a higher risk of steroid relapse than monotherapy. There is significant heterogeneity in management of steroid dosing in patients with ICI hepatotoxicity. Delayed initiation of steroid taper may be associated with a reduced risk of relapse and warrants prospective evaluation as part of a standardised management algorithm.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
