External validation of biomarkers for immune-related adverse events after immune checkpoint inhibition

TL;DR: Externally validate the performance of 59 previously reported markers of irAE risk in a new cohort of 110 patients receiving Nivolumab and Ipilimumab therapy, finding that alone or combined, the discriminatory value of these routine clinical parameters and flow cytometry biomarkers was poor.

Unexpectedly high seroprevalance of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (HHV-8) in patients with stage IV melanoma.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reported that a subset of patients at high risk of developing hepatitis could be identified prior to treatment by cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seropositivity and expansion of effector memory CD4+ T cells (TEM) in peripheral blood.

Virologic and immunologic evidence supporting an association between HHV-6 and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

TL;DR: A potential role for HHV-6 (possibly variant A) in the development or triggering of HT is suggested, as thyrocytes from HT FNA displayed a 100-fold higher HHv-6 DNA load compared to infiltrating lymphocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autoimmune Colitis and Subsequent CMV-induced Hepatitis After Treatment With Ipilimumab.

TL;DR: In conclusion, cytomegalovirus reactivation should be included in the differential in patients under immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors and has to be considered as a cause for morbidity.

Cytomegalovirus reactivation in patients with refractory checkpoint inhibitor-induced colitis.

TL;DR: This report on CMV reactivation during management of checkpoint inhibitor-induced colitis emphasises the need for repetitive diagnostic measures in treatment-refractory irColitis.
