Description

Hepatologists are often consulted by our oncology colleagues when patients develop immune-mediated liver injury from checkpoint Inhibitors (ILICI) that are steroid refractory and resistant. Speakers in this session discuss the exploratory second-line and third-line treatment options that have been succesfully used in case series, case reports, and in other immune-mediated adverse events such as colitis, pneumonitis, dermatitis, and myocarditis.

Journey Maps

Objectives

  • Define steroid-refractory and steroid-resistant immune-mediated liver injury from checkpoint inhibitors (ILICI).
  • Describe the existing evidence for use of mycophenolate, the most commonly used second-line therapy for ILICI.
  • List third-line treatment options that have been successfully used in hepatitis/ILICI and other immune-related adverse events.
