- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main objective of this study is to examine the incidence and severity of<br /><br>sicca symptoms after ICI administration at 3 and 6 months. Depending on the<br /><br>results of this study, we will consider to perform a future study to evaluate<br /><br>the effect of early administration of low dose steroids to treat symptoms of<br /><br>the sicca syndrome.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Secondary objective(s):<br /><br>The secondary objectives are:<br /><br>1) to measure changes in objective measures of oral and ocular dryness after<br /><br>ICI administration;<br /><br>2) to investigate whether IFN signatures are a predictive marker of sicca<br /><br>syndrome.<br /><br><br /><br>Exploratory objective<br /><br>To evaluate the efficacy of early administration of low dose steroids for<br /><br>patients with reported sicca. </p><br>
