Effect of Age on Rheumatic Immune-Related Adverse Events: Experience From the Canadian Research Group of Rheumatology in Immuno-Oncology (CanRIO)

Posted February 27, 2025

Objective
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer outcomes but are limited by immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including rheumatic irAEs (Rh-irAEs). Aging is… Read More

Resolution of immune checkpoint inhibitors-induced inflammatory arthritis while maintaining active treatment with checkpoint inhibitors and after its discontinuation: An observational study

Posted February 27, 2025

Introduction
Immune checkpoint inhibitors-induced inflammatory arthritis (ICI-IA) affects about 5% of ICI recipients. We aimed (1) to characterize the resolution of ICI-IA during ICI… Read More

Immune checkpoint inhibitor rechallenge in patients who previously experienced immune-related inflammatory arthritis: a multicentre observational study

Posted February 27, 2025

Objective
Another course of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is often considered in patients with cancer progression and previous immune-related adverse events, including inflammatory arthritis… Read More

Chronicity of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Associated Inflammatory Arthritis After Immunotherapy Discontinuation: Results From the Canadian Research Group of Rheumatology in Immuno-Oncology Database

Posted February 18, 2025

Objective
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) improve overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in many types of malignancies but can result in off-target immune-related… Read More

Improving Knowledge Dissemination of Rheumatic Toxicities of Cancer Immunotherapy: A Web-Based Educational Initiative

Posted February 14, 2025

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/msc.70065

We developed a web-based educational platform (www.canrio.ca) to house learning materials for practicing rheumatologists and to facilitate national and international collaboration… Read More

Identification of outcome domains in immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced inflammatory arthritis and polymyalgia rheumatica: A scoping review by the OMERACT irAE working group

Posted April 30, 2024

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), increasingly used cancer therapeutics, can cause off-target inflammatory effects called immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including ICI-induced inflammatory arthritis (ICI-induced IA)… Read More

The Utility of Laboratory Investigations for the Assessment and Management of Rheumatic Immune Related Adverse Events

Posted April 30, 2024

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have greatly improved survival of several cancers with historically very poor prognosis. ICIs act by stimulating the patient's own immune system… Read More

De novo Connective Tissue Disorders as Immune-related Adverse Events

Posted April 30, 2024

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment through blocking immunoregulatory pathways, resulting in augmented antitumor responses. However, ICIs can cause inflammatory autoimmune toxicities, known… Read More

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor associated Remitting Seronegative Symmetrical Synovitis with Pitting Edema (ICI-RS3PE): Description of a New Entity by CanRIO

Posted February 18, 2024

Objective: Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) is characterized by symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema and negative rheumatoid factor (RF). It has been… Read More

EULAR points to consider for the diagnosis and management of rheumatic immune-related adverse events due to cancer immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors

Posted February 23, 2021
Ann Rheum Dis 2020 Background: Rheumatic and musculoskeletal immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are observed in about 10% of patients with cancer receiving checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs). Given… Read More
