Summary

This study collects research data and samples from patients who experience immunotherapy side effects to store for use in future research studies. Studying research data and samples from patients who experience immunotherapy side effects may help researchers better understand how to predict, prevent, and treat these side effects.

Objectives

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To establish a national biorepository including biospecimen and clinical data collections from patients treated with immuno-oncology (IO) therapeutics who experience one or more serious (grade 3–4) immune-related adverse events (irAEs).

OUTLINE:
Patients undergo collection of tissue and blood samples (and optional stool samples from patients experiencing colitis) at the time of registration (within 96 hours of confirmation of one or more severe irAEs) and at 1 month after registration. Patients' medical records are also reviewed for 1 year.

Eligibility

  1. PRE-REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Planning to receive a regimen containing one or more IO therapeutics
  2. PRE-REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Has not previously been treated with CTLA-4, PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors
  3. PRE-REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Willing and able to provide baseline blood and stool samples
  4. REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Received a regimen containing one or more immuno-oncology therapeutics * Must have received one or more IO therapeutics * In addition to one or more IO therapeutics, patients may also have received other therapeutics such as chemotherapy, hormonal or targeted therapy, as long as these are reported
  5. REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Must have experienced one or more of the following: * One or more serious (grade 3–4) AEs that are likely immune-related. AEs included in Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v.) 5.0 that may be immune-related ** Patients who experience only hematologic cytopenia(s) who have received cytotoxic therapies, e.g., chemotherapy, within 60 days prior to registration should be excluded * One or more grade 2 dermatologic, endocrine (except diabetes/hyperglycemia) or rheumatologic AEs that are likely immune-related. AEs included in CTCAE v. 5.0 that may be immune-related * Diagnosis of a rare infection, e.g., fungal or mycobacterial, after starting IO treatment ** Note: Diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is excluded * Hyperprogression ** Image submission for patients experiencing hyperprogression is required. For assistance in determining hyperprogression for purposes of eligibility, institutions may contact the study chair and submit images for central review
  6. REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Has not previously been registered to this study * The same patient cannot be enrolled more than once to this study due to development of subsequent irAEs
**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts... Click here to learn more about clinical trials.
