Overview
Brief Summary
Inhibitors of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 immune checkpoint signaling pathway are already approved in the treatment of various tumor entities in relapsed or metastatic stages. Different exploratory trials suggest that the combination of radiotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors is highly effective, especially in oligometastatic stages and if all lesions are treated with ablative radiotherapy. In addition, the role of predictive biomarkers is becoming increasingly important for future therapy algorithms. First data, also from our group, indicate clearly that dynamic changes of immune cells and their activation markers in the peripheral blood (immune matrix) can be used as predictive biomarkers. During the planned STICI-02 trial predictive immune matrix derived from the STICI01 trial (NCT03453892) will be validated in the groups of patient suffering from HNSCC (palliative), NSCLC (separately palliative and adjuvant) and "other solid tumors" (including in particular esophageal carcinomas, urothelial and renal carcinomas, small cell bronchial carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin [depending on the current drug approval]). Within the framework of scientific accompanying projects, the predictive value of markers in tumor tissue and of pattern radiomics analyses will be analyzed accompanying the immunophenotyping in peripheral blood.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Overallsurvival
Time Frame: From inclusion till death of subject or up to 5 years, whichever came first.
Prospective investigation of the survival of the patients.
Longitudinal Immunophenotype
Time Frame: Day 0 till progression or end of study up to 5 years or till change to conventional treatment without ICI, whichever came first.
Longitudonal Immunophenotyping of the patients: Detection of about 30 distinct immune cell (sub)types together with their activation markers during treatement.
Predictors in pattern recognition analyses
Time Frame: Day 0 till progression or end of study up to 5 years or till change to conventional treatment without ICI, whichever came first.
Identification of possible predictors in pattern recognition analyses from clinical imaging data sets.
Immune-associated side effects
Time Frame: Day 0 till progression or end of study up to 5 years or till change to conventional treatment without ICI, whichever came first.
Detection of immune-associated side effects
Secondary Outcomes
- Treatment response (according to RECIST and iRECIST criteria)(From date of inclusion to the trial until the date of first documented iRECIST progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years)
- Progression free survival(From date of inclusion to the trial until the date of first documented iRECIST progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 yeras)
- Detection of adverse events according to NCI CTAE (v4.0)(From date of inclusion to the trial until the date of first documented iRECIST progression or date of death from any cause, or till change to conventional treatment , whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years.)
- Attempt to establish an immune matrix of responding/non-responding patients(The analyses are conducted at time points before (day 0) and before every prescription of ICI (every 14 to 21 days) till progression or end of study up to 5 years or till change to conventional treatment without ICI.)
