Jemperli Disease Interactions

Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with a programmed death receptor-1/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1/PD-L1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT. It is recommended to follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. The benefit versus risks of treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody before or after an allogeneic HSCT should be considered.

Myasthenic syndrome/myasthenia gravis (including exacerbation) has been reported with the use of programmed death receptor-1/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blocking antibodies. Care should be exercised when using PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies in patients with myasthenia gravis.

Solid organ transplant rejection and other transplant (including corneal graft) rejection have been reported with the use of programmed death receptor-1/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blocking antibodies. Care should be exercised when using PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies in patients who have received a solid organ or other transplant.
