Successful rescue therapy with eculizumab for probable tislelizumab-related MMM overlap syndrome with dual positivity for anti-acetylcholine receptor and anti-titin antibodies: a case report and literature review
To report a case of successful rescue treatment with eculizumab for a patient with tislelizumab-related MMM overlap syndrome and to review existing literature on the use of complement inhibitor therapy for ICI-related myasthenia gravis, highlighting the significance of this case in advancing treatment options.
Key Findings:
The patient showed rapid clinical improvement after receiving eculizumab, achieving minimal symptom expression, indicating the potential of eculizumab in similar cases.
This case represents the first reported use of eculizumab for tislelizumab-related MMM overlap syndrome, suggesting a new avenue for treatment.
Interpretation:
Eculizumab may be a promising rescue option for patients with ICI-MMM, warranting further prospective evaluation.
Limitations:
The case lacks histopathological confirmation for myocarditis and myositis, which may affect diagnostic accuracy.
Findings are based on a single patient case and may not be generalizable, underscoring the need for larger studies.
Conclusion:
Eculizumab demonstrated rapid efficacy in a patient with severe ICI-MMM, suggesting its potential as a rescue therapy and highlighting the need for further prospective evaluation to confirm these findings.
