まとめ
免疫チェックポイント阻害剤 (ICI) 療法により,複数の臓器の免疫関連の有害事象 (multi-organ immune-related adverse events, iAEs) が起こり,これは単一の臓器の iAEsよりも重症である. 高用量のグルココルチコイドは,重症な症例では死亡リスクを高め,個別の治療決定を必要とします.
科学分野:
- 腫瘍学 腫瘍学
- 免疫学 免疫学とは
- 薬理学 薬理学とは
背景:
- 免疫チェックポイント阻害剤 (ICI) は,免疫系を活性化させ,免疫関連の有害事象 (irAEs) を引き起こします.
- 多臓器性irrAEsは2つ以上の臓器を巻き込み,irrAEs症例の重要なサブセットを表しますが,臨床研究は限られています.
- 多臓器性IRAEの特徴と危険因子を理解することは,患者の管理に不可欠です.
研究 の 目的:
- 多臓器イラースの臨床的特徴を分析する.
- 多臓器イラースの最適な治療法を特定する.
- 多臓器性irrAEsの患者の死亡率に関連するリスク要因を決定する.
主な方法:
- 2022年1月まで,主要なデータベース (PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,Embase) からICIに関連するirAEsに関する症例報告を体系的にレビューする.
- 2,964人の患者を対象とした2,740件の記事 (782件は多臓器性IRAE,2,182件は単臓器性IRAE) を含む.
- 比較およびサブグループ分析のための臓器関わり,重症度,生存状態による患者の分層化,グルココルチコイド投与量を含む.
主要な成果:
- マルチオルガン型IRAE患者は,単臓型IRAE患者と比較して,より高い心血管,甲状腺,および皮膚の毒性,および重度の副作用,および死亡率の増加を示しました.
- 重度の多臓器性irrAEsにおける高用量のグルココルチコイド治療は,より高い死亡率と関連していたが,重度の症例ではない症例は,高用量と低用量グループの間で有意な違いを示さなかった.
- 心血管,肺,肝臓の毒性,および筋膜炎は,多臓器性irrAEsの重大な死亡リスク因子として特定されました.
結論:
- 多臓器性IRAEはより重症で,単臓器性IRAEよりも悪い結果につながっています.
- 高用量のグルココルチコイドは,重度の多臓器性irrAEsの予後を改善しない可能性があり,死亡リスクを増やす可能性があります.
- グルココルチコイドの投与量に関する個別化された臨床的決定は,IRAEの重症度と影響を受けた臓器を考慮して不可欠です.

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

Drug-related allergies are immune-mediated responses triggered by the administration of pharmacological agents. These hypersensitivity reactions are classified based on the immune mechanisms involved. The four primary types—Type I, II, III, and IV—are mediated by different immunological pathways and exhibit distinct clinical manifestations.Type I Hypersensitivity/ IgE-Mediated Reactions: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) immediately mediates Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Upon initial...

Autoimmune Disorders
2.0K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Immune-Complex Reactions
62
Type III hypersensitivity reactions occur when antigen–antibody complexes form and activate the complement system. Normally, these complexes help the clearance of antigens by phagocytes and red blood cells. However, when large numbers of immune complexes are present, they can deposit in tissues—particularly in the walls of blood vessels—leading to inflammation and tissue injury. These deposits trigger complement activation and neutrophil recruitment, resulting in serum...

Allergic Drug Reactions
1.5K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Hypersensitivities
7.9K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Tissue Transplantation
1.1K
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
