In the first patient, eculizumab, followed by ravulizumab, improved ICI-MG. In the second patient, eculizumab treatment may have had a prophylactic effect on the development of ICI-induced irAEs. The effect of complement inhibition on cancer outcomes of ICI therapy is unknown. A possible biologic basis for complement inhibitors in reducing irAEs of ICI, especially in the presence of underlying autoimmune disease, merits evaluation.
