  • In steroid-refractory ICI myocarditis, abatacept, alemtuzumab, and antithymocyte globulin have been used in case reports.

    “In cases refractory to steroids, other immunomodulators, including abatacept (a CTLA-4 agonist), alemtuzumab (anti-CD52 antibody), and antithymocyte globulin (antiCD3 antibody) have been used in case reports.”

    From Autoimmune Myocarditis, Old Dogs and New Tricks. (2024) · cites this paper as [261]

    In the letter “Alemtuzumab for Immune-Related Myocarditis Due to PD-1 Therapy” (page not supplied), the authors report giving alemtuzumab after a flare during maximal immunosuppression for checkpoint-inhibitor myocarditis. The copy supports alemtuzumab as a case-report example and identifies it as binding CD52, but it does not report use of abatacept or antithymocyte globulin. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
