Abstract Introduction/Aims Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare, life‐threatening immune‐related adverse effect (irAE) of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment. C5‐complement inhibitors are effective treatments for acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR ab) positive generalized MG. We describe the use eculizumab/ravulizumab in two patients with MG receiving concomitant pembrolizumab. Methods This was retrospective review medical records. Results Patient 1: An 80‐year‐old male recurrent,...
Roughly 1.1 million cases of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) occur annually. Although most can be cured with local therapy, up to 8,000 deaths from metastatic cSCC (mcSCC) each year, a number similar that melanoma.1 With no US Food and Drug Administration–approved options available for mcSCC, common approaches include platinum-based chemotherapy off-label cetuximab. These strategies lack durability, overall survival mcSCC is only 10.9 months.2 Clinical responses in have recently...
