Atezolizumab-induced anaphylactic shock in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing immunotherapy:A case report

         

摘要

BACKGROUND Atezolizumab is a programmed death ligand 1(PD-L1)inhibitor,and its combination with bevacizumab has been proven an effective immunotherapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)can lead to hypersensitivity reactions;however,anaphylactic shock is rare.We present a case of life-threatening anaphylactic shock during atezolizumab infusion and performed a relevant literature review.CASE SUMMARY A 75-year-old man was diagnosed with HCC recurrence after hepatectomy.He was administered immunotherapy with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab after an allergy to a programmed death-1(PD-1)inhibitor.The patient showed a sudden onset of dizziness,numbness,and lack of consciousness with severe hypotension during atezolizumab infusion.The treatment was stopped immediately.The patient’s symptoms resolved after 5 mg dexamethasone was administered.Because of repeated hypersensitivity reactions to ICIs,treatment was changed to oral targeted regorafenib therapy.CONCLUSION Further research is necessary for elucidating the hypersensitivity mechanisms and establishing standardized skin test and desensitization protocols associated with PD-1 and PD-L1 to ensure effective treatment with ICIs.
