Low triglyceride levels are associated with increased risk of immune-related adverse events in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer therapy by enhancing anti-tumor immune responses, yet their use can lead to immune-related adverse events (irAE), including neurological complications. Despite their clinical relevance, predictive biomarkers for irAE remain scarce, and early identification of at-risk patients is a major unmet need. In this prospective study, 200 patients undergoing ICI therapy were enrolled, of whom 59 underwent longitudinal metabolomic profiling at baseline, three months, and six months. Thirty-two patients who developed irAE were compared to 27 age- and sex-matched individuals without irAE. Multivariate analyses, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA), revealed distinct metabolomic
