    1. Patients with hypophysitis should receive replacement hydrocortisone at 10–12 mg/m2/day.

      Update 8-27-2021

      To add additional guidance on the management of patients with ICI-related hypophysitis and severe compressive symptoms, this recommendation was updated, as noted below:

      • Patients with hypophysitis should receive replacement hydrocortisone at 10–12 mg/m2/day; a short-course of prednisone 1mg/kg (or equivalent) may be given for patients with severe compressive symptoms (e.g. headache, double vision).
    2. Consider performing a baseline electrocardiogram (EKG) on patients deemed at a higher risk for myocarditis (eg, cardiac comorbidities, diabetes mellitus, anti-PD-(L)1 with anti-CTLA-4 ICI combination therapy, etc). Baseline troponin testing may also be considered to provide information for evaluating potential future cardiac toxicity.

      Update October 2022

      The recommendation on baseline troponin testing has been updated, as noted below:

      • Consider performing a baseline electrocardiogram (EKG) and baseline troponin testing on patients deemed at a higher risk for myocarditis (eg, cardiac comorbidities, diabetes mellitus, ICI combination regimens including dual ICIs or VEGF TKIs, etc). Patients receiving ICI plus VEGF TKIs who have elevated baseline troponin T should be closely monitored for major cardiac adverse events.
