Clinical pattern of checkpoint inhibitor-induced liver injury in a multicentre cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have changed the landscape of cancer therapy. Liver toxicity occurs in up to 25% of patients treated with ICIs. The aim of our study was to describe the different clinical patterns of ICI-induced hepatitis and to assess their outcome.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective observational study of patients with checkpoint inhibitor-induced liver injury (CHILI) discussed in multidisciplinary meetings between December 2018 and March 2022 in three French centres specialised in ICI toxicity management (Montpellier, Toulouse, Lyon). The hepatitis clinical pattern was analysed by the ratio of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (R value = (ALT/ULN)/(ALP/ULN)) for characterisation as cholestatic (R ≤2
