Abstract:

Anti-programmed cell death antibodies (anti-PD-1) are currently under development for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and safety of subsequent treatment by VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) is not known. We report two cases of unexpectedly severe skin rashes occurring on initiation of treatment by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sorafenib after prior treatment with the anti-PD-1 nivolumab. Attention is drawn to the potential skin toxicity of TKI treatment after anti-PD-1 administration.
