Drug-Induced Graves Disease From CTLA-4 Receptor Suppression

Borodic, Gary, Hinkle, David M., Cia, Yihong·2011·Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Abstract

Monoclonal antibody, ipilimumab, useful for treatment of metastatic melanoma, blocks CTLA-4 mediated T-cell suppression and can also cause a Graves ophthalmopathy like syndrome. Epidemiologic study has linked variant polymorphisms of CTLA-4 receptor gene to the presence of thyroid eye disease. The combination of these observations suggests CTLA-4 mediated T-cell functions are important to the pathogenesis of thyroid-associated eye disease.

  • In the literature, only nine cases of ICPi-induced Graves' hyperthyroidism and seven cases of induced Graves' orbitopathy have been described, associated with anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 treatment or their combination, with only one patient presenting both thyrotoxicosis and orbitopathy.

    “To the best of our knowledge at the time of writing, only nine cases of ICPi-induced Graves’ hyperthyroidism and seven cases of induced Graves’ orbitopathy have been described in the literature, associated with anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 treatment or their combination (Table 3), with only one patient presenting with both thyrotoxicosis and orbitopathy [19,29,30,31,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44].”
  • Initially only induced Graves' orbitopathy without thyrotoxicosis were described in patients undergoing Ipilimumab treatment.

    “In the literature, initially only induced Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) without thyrotoxicosis were described in patients undergoing Ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) treatment [29,30,31].”
  • HLA haplotypes associated with classic type 1 diabetes (DR3-DQ2 and DR4-DQ8) and with fulminant diabetes in Asian populations (DR4-DQ4 and DR9-DQ9) are over-represented among patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated diabetes mellitus.

    “Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes linked with classic T1D (DR3-DQ2 and DR4-DQ8) and fulminant diabetes in the Asian population (DR4-DQ4 and DR9-DQ9) are over-represented among ICI-DM patients68”

  • Cases of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated diabetes mellitus in patients on CTLA-4 monotherapy are very rare.

  • About 97% of reported cases of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated diabetes mellitus have occurred in patients treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents or combination therapy.

    “Approximately 97% of all reported ICI-DM cases have arisen with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 or combination treated patients”

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.
