Limited data exist on safety and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) among organ transplant recipients. The objective of this study was to report a case series of two patients with renal transplant who received treatment with an ICI and to conduct a pooled analysis of published cases to describe the safety and efficacy of ICIs in organ transplant patients. A systematic search in the Google Scholar and PubMed databases was carried out to include all the published cases of organ transplant patients who received treatment with ICIs including programmed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1), programmed death‐ligand 1, or cytotoxic lymphocyte antigen‐4 inhibitors since their inscription to January 31, 2019. In the present series of two cases with renal allografts who received pembrolizumab, one patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the skin experienced complete response (CR), whereas another patient with melanoma had a mixed response. Both patients experienced allograft rejection, but graft was salvaged. The pooled analysis of 64 patients published in literature showed that overall allograft rejection rate is 41% in organ transplant recipients following ICI therapy. The graft rejection rate was 44% (17/39) for renal, 39% (7/19) for liver, and 20% (1/5) for cardiac allografts. The highest risk was seen among patients who were treated with PD‐1 inhibitors, 20/42 (48%)—13/24 (54%) on nivolumab and 7/18 (39%) on pembrolizumab. The risk was lowest with ipilimumab, 23% (3/13). The overall response rate (CR + partial response PR) was 20% with ipilimumab, 26% with nivolumab, and 53% with pembrolizumab, whereas disease control rate (CR + PR + stable disease) was 35% with ipilimumab, 37% with nivolumab, and 53% with pembrolizumab. None of the variables including age, gender, type of cancer, type of allograft, type of immunosuppression, time since transplantation to initiation of ICI, and prior history of rejection were significantly associated with the transplant rejection on univariate analysis. The efficacy of ICI among patients with organ transplant appears promising, warranting testing in prospective clinical trials. The risk of rejection and allograft loss is considerable; therefore, the risk and alternative form of therapies should be thoroughly discussed with the transplant patients prior to initiating ICI therapy. Implications for Practice Transplant recipients are at higher risk of developing cancers. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have been shown to improve the outcome in more than one cancer type, transplant recipients were excluded from these trials. Most of the data on the safety and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in transplant patients are based upon case series and case reports. The pooled data from these reports suggest that anti‐programmed death‐ligand 1 inhibitors have reasonable safety and efficacy among organ transplant patients, which warrants testing in clinical trials. The safety and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer patients who received organ transplants is unknown. This article reports two cases involving patients with renal transplant and analyzes the available literature to identify factors that could predict the risk of allograft rejection.Callout: Our pooled analysis reaffirms previous observations of high rates (~40%) of allograft rejection in cancer patients who were treated with an ICIs leading to organ failure in 71% of the patients who experienced rejection.Callout 2: Although the majority of graft rejections happened after 1‐2 doses of ICIs, we did not find any association between number of doses of ICIs or time from transplant to commencement of ICI treatment and rate of rejection. This could be due to small number of patients, but it is also possible that the loss of immunotolerance secondary to ICI is dose and time independent.
