Pancreatic injury following immune checkpoint inhibitors: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Pancreatic injury (pancreatitis, amylase/lipase elevation) is a rare adverse event of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). With the high number of clinical studies on ICIs, the incidence and characteristics of associated pancreatic injury (PI) need to be reevaluated.Methods: A systematic...

| description | Background: Pancreatic injury (pancreatitis, amylase/lipase elevation) is a rare adverse event of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). With the high number of clinical studies on ICIs, the incidence and characteristics of associated pancreatic injury (PI) need to be reevaluated.Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the incidence of PI in cancer patients who received ICIs in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). PubMed, Embase, the ASCO, ESMO, and AACR conference proceedings before 1 April 2022, were investigated for relevant research.Results: 50 RCTs involving 35,223 patients were included. The incidence of ICIs-PI was 2.22% (95% CI = 1.94%–2.53%). The incidence of PI was 3.76% (95% CI = 1.84–7.67%) when combining two ICIs, which was higher than single ICIs [2.25% (95% CI = 1.91–2.65%)]. The ICIs were ranked from high to low based on PI incidence: PD-L1 inhibitors 3.01% (95% CI = 1.86–4.87%), CTLA-4 inhibitors 2.92% (95% CI = 0.99–8.65%) and PD-1 Inhibitor 2% (95% CI = 1.67–2.39%). The ICI with the highest rate of PI was pembrolizumab 7.23.% (95% CI = 1.69–30.89%). In addition, the incidence of severe ICIs-PI was 2.08% (95% CI = 1.76–2.46%); and the incidence of severe PI was 2.32% (95% CI = 1.76–3.06%) when combining two ICIs, which was higher than single ICI [1.95% (95% CI = 1.58–2.41%)]. The ICIs were ranked from high to low according to the incidence of severe PI: PD-L1 inhibitors 3.1% (95% CI = 1.7–5.64%), CTLA-4 inhibitors 2.69% (95% CI = 0.76–9.49%), PD-1 inhibitors 1.80% (95% CI = 1.41–2.29%).Conclusion: Treatment with multiple ICIs result in a higher incidence of PI compared to single ICIs, irrespective of the grade of pancreatic injury. The incidence of PI caused by PD-L1 inhibitors is higher than that of CTLA-4 inhibitors and PD-1 Inhibitor, and Pembrolizumab has the highest rate of ICIs-PI. Although the incidence of ICIs-PI is not high, they are usually severe (≥ grade 3 events). |
