Immune-related adverse events

Overall, grade 3 or 4 irAEs are observed in 7–12% of patients with solid

tumors who receive single anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibodies.

A predictable pattern of irAEs has been observed in such patients;

dermatologic and gastrointestinal toxicities appear early, and hepatic

toxicities or endocrinopathies are seen later

In patients with lymphoid neoplasms, irAEs of any grade appear in 72%-

100% of patients.

Common irAEs include thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, fatigue, infusion

reaction, hypothyroidism, rash, diarrhea, nausea, pyrexia, pneumonitis,

diarrhea, fatigue, back pain, decrease in platelets, dry skin, and cough.
