Rare but Severe: Characterizing Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Induced Diabetes in 13,966 Trial Participants

Rare but Severe: Characterizing Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Induced Diabetes in 13,966 Trial Participants

A large-scale NCI study reveals that while immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced diabetes is rare (0.52%), it is highly morbid, often requiring hospitalization or ICU care. Risk varies significantly by treatment regimen, with combination immunotherapy increasing risk and concurrent chemotherapy appearing protective.
