Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and characteristics of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) induced by serplulimab in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients.Methods The clinical data of SCLC patients with irAEs induced by serplulimab in Hunan Cancer Hospital and Huaihua Central Hospital (Huaihua Cancer Hospital) from January 2022 to December 2023 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 14 cases of irAEs were collected, including 11 males (78.57%) and 3 females (21.43%). The mean age was 58.93 years. 9 patients (64.29%) had smoking/alcohol history. 11 patients (78.57%) presented comorbidities. 11 (78.57%) were treated with combined chemotherapy and 3 (21.43%) were treated with serplulimab monotherapy after combined chemotherapy. The median irAEs onset was 76 days, with primary manifestations being immune-mediated hypothyroidism, myocarditis, and pneumonitis. Among them, 4 patients (28.57%) were complicated with other irAEs. Clinical outcomes showed that 12 patients (85.71%) achieved improvement/partial improvement, 1 patient (7.14%) had no improvement, and 1 patient (7.14%) were lost to follow-up.Conclusion Serplulimab, similar to other PD-1 inhibitors, can cause a variety of irAEs requiring enhanced monitoring protocols to ensure treatment safety in clinical practice.
