The objective is to better detect, document and manage IrAEs.

    Connective tissue diseases (CTD) have not previously been reported in patients treated with anti-PD1/PDL-1 agents. The REISAMIC registry was screened for reports of CTD.

    Of the 447 patients supervised in the REISAMIC registry, three have developed CTD: two cases of Sjögren's syndrome and one case of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis as a complication of suspected Sjögren's syndrome (table 1).
