Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIM: Although immune checkpoint inhibitors play an important role in the therapy of lung cancer, they are associated with various immune-related adverse events and predictive factors of them are unclear. In this study, we investigated predictive factors of nivolumab-induced hypothyroidism which is one of the adverse events in patients with lung cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who were administered nivolumab at our hospital between December 2015 and May 2016 were retrospectively enrolled. The thyroid-stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody, and thyroglobulin antibody levels of each patient were analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 64 patients enrolled, 5 (7.8%) developed hypothyroidism after treatment with nivolumab. The TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies were significantly positive in patients who developed primary hypothyroidism. CONCLUSION: TPO and thyroglobulin antibody levels at baseline may be predictive of hypothyroidism.

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.
