Abstract:
Ipilimumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) was approved in 2011 for the treatment of metastatic melanoma after a phase 3 study showed an improvement in overall survival. The majority of adverse events related to the drug noted in the study were immune-mediated, causing dermatologic, gastrointestinal and endocrine dysfunction. These side-effects are consistent with the idea that by enhancing a patient’s immunoreactivity there will be increased self reactivity. This report describes a patient with orbital myositis secondary to Ipilimumab.
