Registration Number
NCT05969379
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Neurological immune-related adverse events (n-irAEs) are an emerging group of disorders of patients with cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, presenting with heterogeneous clinical manifestations and of uncertain outcome. Novel genetic, inflammatory, and neurogenerative biomarkers could be associated with distinct phenotypes and different outcomes. To test this hypothesis, the study will provide: a phenotypic characterization and outcome assessment of patients with n-irAEs; the analysis of biomarkers of genetic predisposition (HLA and other immunity-related genes), inflammation (serum and cerebrospinal fluid \[CSF\] cytokines and autoantibodies, peripheral blood and CSF lymphocytes and other immune cells, neuroimaging), neurodegeneration (serum and CSF neurofilaments, neuroimaging) and their correlation with clinical features and outcome.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Analysis of neurofilamentsAt enrollment

Neurofilaments will be analysed by MSD.

Meso Scale Discovery Electrochemiluminescence (MSD) uses sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method coupled with electro¬chemiluminescence (ECL) detection and plate array technology to provide highly sensitive and multiplexed detection of the analytes of interest (like neurofilaments) in a complex biological matrix.
