Non-insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus Induced by Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy in an Insulinoma-associated Antigen-2 Autoantibody-positive Patient with Advanced Gastric Cancer

A 70-year-old man with insulinoma-associated antigen-2 autoantibodies developed diabetes mellitus (DM) without ketoacidosis after starting nivolumab to treat advanced gastric cancer. He subsequently exhibited preserved insulin-secretion capacity for over one year. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) infrequently cause type 1 DM associated with the rapid loss of insulin secretion and ketoacidosis as an immune-related adverse event. ICIs may also...
