Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Associated Myositis: A Distinct Form of Inflammatory Myopathy
Research on the relationship between inflammatory myopathy and malignancy has grown considerably within the last century. Now, the burgeoning field of inflammatory myopathy has yet another player in the mix: immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myositis (ICI myositis). Immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myositis is indicated by clinical diagnosis of inflammatory myopathy after initiation of immune checkpoint inhibitor for cancer management. Current literature reflects low prevalence but high mortality associated with ICI myositis, especially when involving myasthenia gravis and myocarditis. Immune checkpoint inhi...

Ramipril Improves Endothelial Function and Increases the Number of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Objectives Endothelial dysfunction and reduced number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in peripheral blood are contributing factors to cardiovascular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Endothelial progenitor cell proliferation is regulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors reduce cardiovascular mortality in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods This was a randomized trial including 37 female SLE patients without cardiovascular risk factors allocated into 2 groups: 19 patients received ramipril 10 mg/d for 12 weeks ...

A Safety Analysis of Programmed Death 1 Pathway Inhibitors in Patients With Solid Tumor Malignancies and Preexisting Autoimmune Disease
Conclusions These results suggest that pembrolizumab and nivolumab can be safely administered in patients with controlled preexisting autoimmune diseases without a significant increase in irAE compared with patients without autoimmune diseases. Inclusion of patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases in prospective clinical trials is warranted. (Source: JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology)
