“…Endocrine-related irAE (E-irAE), other irAE (O-irAE), endocrine-related and other irAE (EO-irAE), and multiple endocrine-related irAE (ME-irAE) were evaluated in groups. 80.8% of patients had an irAE, with the highest incidence of irAE with ipilimumab plus PD-1 inhibitor, followed by atezolizumab 59.0%, pembrolizumab 53.7%, avelumab 50.0%, and nivolumab 47.3%, Durvamumab 26.7% followed; Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed higher survival rates in patients with irAE compared to non-irAE, and higher survival rates in EO-irAE and ME-irAE compared to E-irAE and O-irAE (p < 0.001). The COX proportional hazard ratios for overall survival were E-irAE 0.611 (0.480–0.772), O-irAE 0.758 (0.597–0.957), EO-irAE 0.622 (0.466–0.819) and ME-irAE 0.463 when non-irAE was set at 1.000 (0.257–0.775). …”
