Study Overview
Brief Summary
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the leading causes of death in Western countries. Today, a new frontier in the fight against cancer is immunotherapy, a treatment that aims to "awaken" the patient's immune system to help it recognize and attack cancer cells.
Among the various approaches, there is significant focus on therapies that activate T lymphocytes, a type of immune cell, encouraging them to react against the tumor. These treatments have led to important progress and represent a hope for the future.
Detailed Description
Prospective study aimed at evaluating the development of anti-drug antibodies in patients with NSCLC treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, either as monotherapy or in combination, and the correlation between the presence of anti-drug antibodies, treatment efficacy, and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions.
Primary objective:
To assess whether patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors as single agent or in combination with other checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapy develop anti-drug antibodies during the course of treatment Secondary objective: To assess whether development of anti-drug antibodies is associated with response, duration of response, PFS, OS, toxicity For each eligible patient, a blood sample (6 ml) will be collected before the start of therapy and before each treatment cycle until disease progression or the completion of the planned cycles. The tests and procedures the patient will undergo are all considered routine and part of standard medical care, so they do not entail any additional risks associated with participation in this study.
