Interstitial pneumonia caused by Photoimmunotherapy with cetuximab-IR700 conjugate
Photoimmunotherapy (PIT) is a newly developed cancer therapy that uses the tumor-targeted monoclonal antibody cetuximab conjugated to the photoabsorbing dye IR700. It is currently approved for the treatment of unresectable, locally advanced, or locoregionally recurrent head and neck cancers in Japan. However, data regarding the clinical safety of PIT are currently limited in the literature. Herein, we report the case of a 70-year-old man with nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma who developed interstitial pneumonia after receiving PIT. He developed a fever 3 days after PIT, and computed tomography revealed ground-glass opacities in both lungs. He was diagnosed with drug-induced interstitial pneumonia, and subsequently responded well to prednisolone therapy. This case highlights the potential risk of interstitial pneumonia associated with the cetuximab-IR700 conjugate used in PIT. Clinicians should consider the possibility of interstitial lung disease whenever fever persists following PIT. Further studies are warranted to fully characterize the safety profile of PIT.
期刊介绍:
The international journal Auris Nasus Larynx provides the opportunity for rapid, carefully reviewed publications concerning the fundamental and clinical aspects of otorhinolaryngology and related fields. This includes otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, allergology, head and neck medicine and oncologic surgery, maxillofacial and plastic surgery, audiology, speech science.
Original papers, short communications and original case reports can be submitted. Reviews on recent developments are invited regularly and Letters to the Editor commenting on papers or any aspect of Auris Nasus Larynx are welcomed.
Founded in 1973 and previously published by the Society for Promotion of International Otorhinolaryngology, the journal is now the official English-language journal of the Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan, Inc. The aim of its new international Editorial Board is to make Auris Nasus Larynx an international forum for high quality research and clinical sciences.
