Study IDs Risk Factors for Checkpoint Inhibitor–Induced Hepatotoxicity

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become an important part of the armamentarium in the treatment of advanced malignancies, but their use is associated with hepatotoxicity. A recent study has identified the risk factors most strongly associated with this adverse event.

To determine the predictors of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICPI)-induced hepatotoxicity, researchers from Cleveland Clinic mined the IBM Explorys database—which includes electronic health record data
