Analysis of correlation between serum tislelizumab concentration and immune-related adverse events in patients with malignant tumors
Objective To investigate the correlation between blood concentration of tislelizumab and immune-related adverse events(irAEs)in patients with malignant tumors,and to analyze the factors affecting blood concentration.Methods Blood concentration of patients with malignant tumors treated with tislelizumab was detected by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method,and the occurrence of irAEs during treatment was observed,and the correlation between blood concentration and irAEs was analyzed.At the same time,the diagnosis and treatment data of patients were collected to analyze the influence on blood drug concentration.Results Among the 50 malignant tumor patients treated with tislelizumab included in the analysis,34 cases developed irAEs,with an incidence of 68%,including hypothyroidism,rash,liver function impairment,etc.The mean blood concentration of 16.69 μg·mL-1 in the irAEs group was higher than that in the non-irAEs group of 8.41 μg·mL-1,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The mean blood concentration of 20.98 μg·mL-1 in patients with hypothyroidism was higher than that in the group without hypothyroidism(11.04 μg·mL-1),and the mean blood concentration of 23.47 μg·mL-1 in patients with liver function damage was higher than that in the group without liver function damage(12.06 μg·mL-1),with statistical significance(all P<0.05),and the threshold concentrations of associated risks were 14.61 and 13.19 μg·mL-1,respectively.At the same time,through the analysis of clinical characteristics of patients,the results showed that the mean blood concentration of 9.67 μg·mL-1 in the combined chemotherapy group was lower than that in the non-combined chemotherapy group(19.03μg·mL-1),and the blood concentration of 12.74 μg·mL- in the non-small cell lung cancer group was lower than that in the other groups(20.31 μg·mL-1),with statistical significance(all P<0.05).Conclusion High blood concentration of tislelizumab can increase the risk of hypothyroidism and liver function damage in patients.
