Identification of Pathways to Mitigate Immune-Related Adverse Events With Cancer Immunotherapy

Recruiting
Conditions
Cancer
Interventions
Drug: systemic corticosteroid or biologic
Registration Number
NCT04283539
Lead Sponsor
National Jewish Health
Brief Summary

This protocol is a prospective, observational study of participants receiving immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors, CPI) for cancer therapy, testing the hypothesis that patients with immune related cutaneous adverse events (ircAEs) have unique immunologic endotypes associated with polarized immune responses.
