アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a rapidly expanding class of oncologic therapies whose mechanism of action can result in unique immune-related adverse events (irAEs) not seen in other cancer therapeutics. The objective of this study was to determine the presence of sinonasal irAEs with these medications. METHODS: A case report of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) caused by an ICI is presented and was the impetus for this review. Review of the literature using Pubmed and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was performed. Additionally, we searched the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS) database for sinonasal AEs in the 7 FDA-approved ICIs. RESULTS: We demonstrate an emerging scientific literature describing cases of CRS associated with multiple ICIs with a particular predilection toward TH2 driven phenotypes. Review of the FAERS also demonstrates a small percentage of patients who report sinonasal complaints after initiating ICI therapy. CONCLUSION: Sinonasal symptoms and the development of CRS, in particular, are not currently well recognized as potential irAEs for ICIs. Increased awareness and further study may help to elucidate if these are more common than currently reported and if irAE-related CRS is a unique phenotype. |
