Comparative cardiotoxicity risk of pembrolizumab versus nivolumab in cancer patients undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy: A meta-analysis

ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first meta-analysis to compare the cardiotoxicity potentials of nivolumab and pembrolizumab. In contrast to previous reports, the overall findings here demonstrated that nivolumab-induced cardiotoxicity was more commonly reported in the literature than pembrolizumab; however, myocarditis seemed more likely to occur with pembrolizumab therapy.
