ABSTRACT

Nivolumab es un anticuerpo monoclonal contra la proteína de muerte celular programada 1 (PD-1) y actúa como un inhibidor del punto de control inmunitario al interrumpir la interacción del receptor PD-1 con sus ligandos. Nivolumab se ha convertido en un tratamiento eficaz para cánceres avanzados como el melanoma. La colitis, la disfunción endocrina y la miastenia grave (MG) son eventos1 conocidos inducidos por nivolumab. Los eventos adversos neurológicos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario son raros y ocurren en < 1 % de los pacientes tratados en grandes ensayos clínicos2. En este estudio describimos un caso de neuropatía axonal distal después del tratamiento con nivolumab en un paciente con melanoma metastásico.


Nivolumab is a monoclonal antibody against the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and acts as an imune checkpoint inhibitor by disrupting the interaction of the PD-1 receptor with its ligands. Nivolumab has emerged as an effective treatment for advanced cancers such as melanoma. Colitis, endocrine dysfunction, and myasthenia gravis (MG) are known events1 induced by nivolumab. Immune-related neurological adverse events are rare, occurring in <1% of patients treated in large clinical trials. In this study, we describe a case of distal axonal neuropathy after nivolumab treatment in a patient with metastatic melanoma.
