Predicting risk of immune therapy side effects
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tries to predict who is more likely to get serious side effects from immune checkpoint medicines used for solid tumors. You may help researchers by answering questionnaires before treatment and during follow-up, and by possibly storing sample specimens.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be planning standard-of-care immune checkpoint (ICI) treatment for a solid tumor, based on FDA labeling or major guidelines (not another research trial).
- If you had ICI before, you must have finished it at least 180 days before starting this study, and you must not have stopped it earlier because of immune-related side effects.
- You must not have had chemotherapy, biologic, or targeted therapy in the last 21 days before you register.
- Any past treatment side effects should be mostly gone (about mild or moderate limits), and your clinician must feel you have recovered enough to safely start the planned ICI treatment.
- You must be able and willing to complete questionnaires (in English, Spanish, or French), including before starting treatment, and you must be willing to do the follow-up data collection.
- You must be 18 or older, complete your check-up paperwork and physical exam within 28 days before registration, and be willing to consider optional specimen banking.
