Targeted Therapies for Severe Immune-related Adverse Events of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Are Not Associated with a Worse Prognosis
Background/Purpose: In about 10% of patients, the immune response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) exceeds the anti-tumor response and leads to autoimmune complications (immune-related Adverse…Abstract Number: 2513 • ACR Convergence 2023
Latent Class Analysis Identifies 2 Clinical Phenotypes of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-induced Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose: : Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) for cancer treatment can cause inflammatory arthritis (IA). ICI-IA is a heterogeneous entity affecting peripheral joints, tendons, and rarely…Abstract Number: 2514 • ACR Convergence 2023
Myositis Triad Subset Is Associated with High Mortality in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor- Induced Myositis
Background/Purpose: Myositis is an infrequent but serious complication associated with immune check point inhibitor (ICI) treatment. Many patients with ICI-induced myositis will develop concurrent myocarditis…Abstract Number: 0016 • ACR Convergence 2023
Role of TP53 in Inflammatory Reprogramming of Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: TP53, a tumor-suppressor protein known as the guardian of the genome, plays a critical role in regulating genomic stability and cellular function. When TP53…Abstract Number: 0072 • ACR Convergence 2023
Circulating T-cell Immunosenescence Is High in Patients with Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases (IMIDs) and Is Associated with Interferons
Background/Purpose: Immunosenescence is a global remodeling of immune functions that has been first described with aging. It can also occur in pathologies associated with chronic…Abstract Number: 0125 • ACR Convergence 2023
Decreasing Ischemic Heart Disease, but Increasing Cancer Among the Underlying Causes of Death in Decedents with Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Patients with lupus nephritis may die of active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and its complications as well as of…Abstract Number: 1054 • ACR Convergence 2023
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Induced Polymyalgia Rheumatica Demonstrates a Similar Scintigraphic Appearance to Classical Polymyalgia Rheumatica on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT
Background/Purpose: Of the rheumatic immune-related adverse events that follow immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) cancer immunotherapy, de novo PMR-like episodes without inflammatory arthritis (ICI-PMR) appear to…Abstract Number: 1056 • ACR Convergence 2023
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Rechallenge in Patients Who Previously Experienced Immune-Related Inflammatory Arthritis: A Multicenter Observational Study
Background/Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) improve overall survival in many cancer patients by activating their immune system. However, they can cause off-target immune-related adverse events…Abstract Number: 1057 • ACR Convergence 2023
