BACKGROUND: Our objective was to characterize the incidence, risk factors and clinical features of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients receiving dabrafenib and trametinib. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study examining the kidney outcomes of patients in a large healthcare system who received dabrafenib/trametinib between 2010 and 2019. The primary outcome was AKI, defined as a 1.5-fold increase in serum creatinine from baseline within a 12-month study period. AKI severity and etiology was determined for each case by chart review. Logistic regression was used to evaluate baseline predictors of AKI. RESULTS: A total of 199 patients who received dabrafenib in our healthcare system from 2010 to 2019 were included in the analysis. Forty-two patients (21%) experienced AKI within 12 months; 10 patients (5% of the total cohort, 24% of AKI patients) experienced AKI occurring during a dabrafenib/trametinib-induced febrile syndrome characterized by fever, chills, gastrointestinal symptoms and elevated liver enzymes. Preexisting liver disease was the only significant predictor of AKI in the cohort. One patient had biopsy-proven granulomatous acute interstitial nephritis that resolved with corticosteroids. CONCLUSIONS: Oncologists and nephrologists should be aware that AKI is common after dabrafenib/trametinib and a substantial number of cases occur in the setting of treatment-induced pyrexia.
