a Kaplan–Meier curves showing the proportion of patients whose steroid monotherapy failed and warranted disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) over 12 months of follow-up based on ICI regimen. Two-sided Log rank test. P, PD-1 inhibitor arthritis; C, Combined ICI arthritis. b Percentage of interferon gamma (IFNγ)- and interleukin (IL)-17–producing CD4+ T cells in PB (left panels) and Th1, transient (t-)Th17, and Th17 cells (right panels) before and after treatment of arthritis from 7 patients with arthritis-irAE. One-sided Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. c Percentage of IFNγ- and IL-17–producing CD8+ T cells in PB (left panels) and Tc1, t-Tc17, and Tc17 cells (right panels) before and after treatment of arthritis from 7 patients with arthritis-irAE. One-sided Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. d Concentration of inflammatory cytokines in serum before and after treatment of arthritis from 7 patients with arthritis-irAE. One-sided Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
