Safety of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Cancer Patients With Preexisting Autoimmune Vasculitis

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Objective Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective cancer therapies but often cause serious immune‐related adverse events (irAEs). Patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases, including vasculitis, are excluded from trials. We aimed to evaluate the frequency, severity, and outcomes of vasculitis flares and irAEs in this population.
