Fulminant Myocarditis for Non-small-cell Carcinoma of the Lung with Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Plus Chemotherapy

A 59-year-old man with a high level of antinuclear antibody received nivolumab and ipilimumab plus chemotherapy for lung cancer. Two weeks after the second course, he was admitted with a fever and severe fatigue. Laboratory studies showed elevated markers of myocardial damage, and a myocardial biopsy showed inflammatory cell infiltration, damaged myocardial fibers. Myocarditis was diagnosed as an immune-related adverse event (irAE), and high-dose corticosteroids were initiated. However, his cardiac function rapidly worsened, and he died on the fifth day after admission. There is no established treatment strategy for fulminant myocarditis as an irAE, and the further exploration of viable treatment strategies is required.
