Objective:

To report a case of severe immune-related adverse events following ivonescimab treatment in a patient with advanced EGFR-mutant lung squamous cell carcinoma.

Key Findings:
  • The patient developed a severe IL-6–dominant inflammatory response after ivonescimab treatment.
  • Corticosteroids provided rapid relief from fever, indicating an IL-6–mediated process.
  • Re-exposure to ivonescimab resulted in a more severe reaction and symptoms consistent with arginine vasopressin deficiency.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • The case study is based on a single patient, limiting generalizability.
  • Causal relationships between treatment and adverse events cannot be definitively established.
Conclusion:
