Counseling Patients on irAEs Associated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors1-4
Patient education must focus
on the importance of prompt
recognition and management
of irAEs
Grade 1
Minimal or no symptoms; diagnostic change only
• In general, immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy should be continued with
close monitoring, with the exception of some neurologic, hematologic, and
cardiac toxicities
Grade 2
Mild to moderate symptoms
• Hold checkpoint inhibitor therapy for most grade 2 toxicities
• Consider resuming immunotherapy when symptoms and/or laboratory
values revert to grade 1 or lower
• Corticosteroids (initial dose of 0.1-1 mg/kg/d of prednisone or equivalent)
may be administered
Grade 3/4
Severe or life-threatening symptoms
Grade 3
• Hold checkpoint inhibitor therapy
• Initiate high-dose corticosteroids (prednisone 1-2 mg/kg/d or
methylprednisolone IV 1-2 mg/kg/d)
• If symptoms do not improve with 48-72 h of high-dose corticosteroids,
infliximab may be offered for some toxicities
• Taper corticosteroids over the course of at least 4-6 wk
• When symptoms and/or laboratory values revert to grade 1 or lower,
rechallenging with immunotherapy may be offered; however, caution is
advised, especially in those patients with early-onset irAEs; dose
adjustments are not recommended
Grade 4
• In general, permanent discontinuation of checkpoint inhibitor therapy is
warranted, with the exception of endocrinopathies that have been
controlled by hormone replacement
irAE Grading and Management: Overall
• Diarrhea
• Nausea/Vomiting
• Hepatitis

rounding
Available as a

history and physical examination
Screen for pre-existing neuropathy
or diabetes mellitus
Before a patient starts
treatment with either
EV or SG …
• There is a risk of infusion-related reactions
• Although rare, grade 3-4 reactions do occur
– Infusion-site extravasation observed with
EV; ensure adequate venous access
prior to infusion
• Hypersensitivity reactions, ranging from mild
to anaphylaxis, have been seen within 24 h
of SG administration
– Premedicate with an antipyretic and H1
and H2 blockers prior to each infusion
– Have medication and emergency
equipment to treat such reactions ready
for immediate use
• Monitor patients during the infusion and for
≥30 min after completion of infusion
Safety Considerations With ADCs
Peripheral Neuropathy
• Generally resolves/remains at grade 1
Hyperglycemia
• Monitor blood glucose in patients with/at
risk for diabetes or hyperglycemia
Ocular Disorders
• Monitor and consider prophylactic
artificial tears for dry eyes and treatment
with ophthalmic topical steroids after an
ophthalmic examination
Neutropenia
• Consider growth factor support
• Dose reduction/hold
Diarrhea
• Educate patients
• Maintain hydration with electrolytes
• Antidiarrheal medications/best
supportive care

FGFR Mutations Are Frequently Observed in Bladder Cancer8,9
Erdafinitib: Understanding Safety Considerations10-11
Patients ideally undergo testing upon
diagnosis
Options include specifically testing tumors
for FGFR3 alterations (eg, RT-PCR
companion assay) or more comprehensive
approaches (eg, NGS panels, liquid biopsy)
Both nurses and oncologists have
important roles in educating patients on
the importance of genomic testing
Eligibility for FGFR inhibition requires
testing for genomic alterations
• FGFR3 inhibitors are associated with
unique AEs
• Oral hygiene critical; mucositis and
other oral toxicities can be a concern
• Monitor for skin and nail toxicities,
referring to dermatology and podiatry
as needed
• Close monitoring and supportive care is
important
General Guidance on AEs
Associated With FGFR3 Inhibitors • Erdafitinib also inhibits FGFR signaling
in the proximal renal tubule, impairing
function of the sodium-dependent
phosphate co-transporter
• Dietary phosphate may require
restriction
– Consult a nutrition professional
(eg, registered dietitian, nutritionist)
for individualized dietary planning
– Consider adding a non–calcium-
containing phosphate binder (eg,
sevelamer carbonate)
• Recommended ophthalmologic
examinations
– Monthly for first 4 mo; every 3 mo
thereafter
– At any time for visual symptoms
• For any occurrence of central serous
retinopathy (CSR)/retinal pigment
epithelial detachment (RPED):
– Withhold erdafitinib; discontinue
permanently if symptoms do not
resolve in 4 wk
– Discontinue permanently for
grade 4 CSR/RPED

4. Expanding Role of Therapeutic Approaches in Bladder Cancer
Full abbreviations, accreditation, and disclosure information available at PeerView.com/XJV40
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy is administered before surgery and can reduce the
size of the primary tumor as well as eliminate residual cancer cells left after surgery
Rationale
• Lower disease burden and intact
immune system
• T-cell response generated against
in situ primary tumor with diverse
antigen load
• Fast endpoints to assess response
• Allows for translational research:
biologic and immunologic
correlative studies
Rationale
• Immunologic pathways are
disrupted by surgical stress
• No risk for delaying surgery with
adjuvant versus neoadjuvant
approach
• Prior chemotherapy or other
systemic/local therapies may help
augment immune responses
Adjuvant immunotherapy is administered after surgery and leads to an increase
in activated T cells that can eliminate residual cancer cells in the tumor bed
