Abstract

Various serious adverse events (AE) have been reported to occur at a high rate in patients treated with BRAF plus mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor combination therapy, but their subtypes differ among the BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Pyrexia or a spike of fever are well‐known AE of BRAF inhibitors, with or without MEK inhibitors, and have been reported to have a high incidence after dabrafenib/trametinib, but not after encorafenib/binimetinib. In this report, we describe three cases of severe pyrexia in nivolumab‐resistant advanced melanoma after successful combined therapy with encorafenib plus binimetinib. Interestingly, in all cases, the serum levels of soluble CD163 C‐X‐C motif chemokine (CXCL)9, CXCL10 and CXCL11, which are known biomarkers for adult‐onset Still’s disease (AOSD), increased in parallel with the development of pyrexia. Our present cases suggest that pyrexia caused by BRAF/MEK inhibitors may possess a similar pathophysiology as that of AOSD.
