Toxicity profile of camrelizumab-based immunotherapy in older adults with advanced cancer.

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become an important cornerstone of many tumour treatments. However, the toxicity profile of immune-chemotherapy combination treatment approaches among older adult cancer patients is still unclear. Patients with any cancer who received camrelizumab-based immunotherapy were eligible for inclusion. The primary endpoints were adverse events (AEs) and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which were defined based on Naranjo's algorithm. Patients were stratified by age (≥ 70 years and < 70 years), and comparisons were made based on the type of camrelizumab-based therapy (monotherapy, combined chemotherapy, or combined anti-VEGF therapy). A total of 185 patients were administered camrelizumab-based immunotherapy, 55 (30%) of whom were ≥ 70 years old. A to
