Various clinical presentations of uveitis associated with durvalumab treatment

Abstract

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are becoming increasingly common in treating several cancer types. Durvalumab is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that blocks PD-L1 binding to PD-1 and CD80 and has recently been approved for the treatment of extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) and locally advanced unresectable (NSCLC). The present review aimed to analyse immune-mediated uveitis, secondary to durvalumab treatment, through a review of the literature and a presentation of two clinical cases.
