New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus After Treatment With Nivolumab for Melanoma

Abstract: A 67-year-old female taking Nivolumab for melanoma developed a hyperglycemic emergency requiring hospital admission. She was referred to our endocrinology clinic post-discharge where she was diagnosed with new-onset Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Severe hyperglycemia and immune-mediated diabetes mellitus are extremely rare but potentially life-threatening side effects of Nivolumab.

“…Генетические факторы риска включают лиц с генотипами риска HLA DR 3/4-DQ8 или DR 4/DR 4 и отягощенным семейным анамнезом [20,21]. Негенетические факторы риска включают в себя иммунизацию, диету, социальноэкономический статус, ожирение, дефицит витамина D, перинатальные факторы и наличие в анамнезе вирусных инфекций, в частности энтеровирусных инфекций.…”

“…This event, which is most noticeable in cancer patients who receive immunotherapy treatment, demonstrates that previously working beta cells begin to express non-functional proteins, a characteristic trait of cancer cells. This triggers the usual antitumor reaction of the immune system against these pancreatic cells, which could explain why some cancer patients develop T1DM after receiving immunotherapy [ 13 ]. Anti-PD-1-related T1DM cases have yielded mixed results in terms of the prevalence of diabetes-related autoantibodies after the onset of T1DM.…”
