Table 8. ATWB: Treatment discontinuation, corticosteroid treatment, and deaths.

Data represented as n (%); p value calculated by chi-square; *Any two or more of the above therapies (CTLA-4 inhibitors, PD-1 inhibitors, and PD-L1 inhibitors); †Any other antineoplastic treatment not belonging to the class of ICIs specifically listed.

ATWB, elevated AT levels along with elevated bilirubin; CTLA-4, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated protein 4; ICI, immune checkpoint inhibitors; ICI Comb, combinations of ICIs; n, patients with IAT; PD-1, programmed cell death 1; PD-L1, programmed cell death ligand 1.
