Therapeutic agents for steroid-refractory immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis: a narrative review - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39263485/
The pathogenesis of steroid-refractory IRM and the treatment regimen remain unclear. A large number of studies need to be conducted to validate or update our proposed treatment approach.
Steroid-refractory immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis (IRM) management may involve abatacept, alemtuzumab, tocilizumab, or combination therapies tailored to specific comorbidities, with further research needed to refine treatment strategies.
