Dinutuximab

Prerenal / Hemodynamic AKI.

Severe neuropathic pain is near-universal, and capillary-leak syndrome and hypertension are common, sometimes severe, infusion-associated toxicities (driven partly by concurrent IL-2). The resulting fluid shifts and prerenal AKI are managed proactively but not separately quantified.

1. Prerenal / Hemodynamic AKIPrimary~4%Grade 3-4 capillary-leak syndrome in 4% on dinutuximab beta alone (up to ~15% when combined with IL-2); hypotension among the most frequently reported ADRs
2. HypertensionSecondary
3. Thrombotic MicroangiopathyRareA single biopsy-confirmed case of dinutuximab-associated atypical HUS (uncontrolled hypertension with renal dysfunction, treated with eculizumab then ravulizumab) — a case report, not a rate

Acute (~1–7 days) — Infusion-associated and acute — capillary leak and blood-pressure swings occur during/around each infusion.

• Concurrent IL-2 (amplifies capillary leak)
• Pre-existing renal or cardiac compromise
• Inadequate pre-hydration or premedication
• High infusion rate

• Pre-hydration and careful fluid management around infusions
• Premedication (analgesia/opioids, antihistamines, antipyretics) and slow infusion
• Dose interruption/rate reduction for severe capillary leak or hemodynamic instability

• Blood pressure and volume status continuously during infusions
• Pain assessment and analgesic titration
• Signs of capillary leak (edema, weight gain, hypotension)

• ANBL0032 (Yu, NEJM 2010) — registrational trial defining capillary leak, hypertension and severe pain

• Capillary-leak syndrome with hypotension and intravascular depletion is the renal mechanism — support circulating volume.
• Severe neuropathic pain is on-target (GD2 on nerves) and near-universal — pre-emptive opioids are standard.
• Co-administered IL-2 amplifies the capillary leak and hemodynamic swings.
• Blood pressure can swing both ways during infusions; monitor continuously.
