- Rate of occurrence of second immune-related adverse events (irAEs)
Study Overview
Brief Summary
Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have proved effective in treating many cancers, patients receiving ICIs may experience immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Little evidence exists on the safety of resuming these treatments after an irAE.
Our objective was to investigate the safety of ICI rechallenge after an irAE using the WHO pharmacovigilance database
