High-dose glucocorticoid treatment vs. glucocorticoid replacement in immune checkpoint inhibitor associated hypophysitis (CORTICI): an open, randomised controlled trial by Verena Theiler-Schwetz, Christian Trummer, Lisa Schmitt, Angelika Terbuch, Barbara Obermayer-Pietsch, Erika Richtig, Stefan Pilz

“…There was a significant, unfavourable treatment effect of high-dose treatment on HbA1c (mean treatment effect 5.16, 95% confidence interval 0.31 to 10.02, p = 0.039).Conclusions High-dose glucocorticoid treatment was not effective in restoring adrenal function and leads to adverse effects on glucose metabolism. We therefore do not recommend its use for the treatment of ICI associated hypophysitis, except for compressive symptoms.…”
