Collection of Research Data and Samples From Patients Who Experience Immunotherapy Side Effects

Purpose

This trial collects research data and samples from patients who experience immunotherapy side effects to store for use in future research studies. Studying research data and samples from patients who experience immunotherapy side effects may help researchers better understand how to predict, prevent, and treat these side effects.

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Observational (biospecimen collection, medical record review) Patients undergo collection of tissue and blood samples (and optional stool samples from patients experiencing colitis) at the time of registration (within 72 hours of confirmation of one or more severe irAEs) and at 1 month after registration. Patients' medical records are also reviewed for up to 1 year.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: To establish a national biorepository including biospecimen and clinical data collections from patients treated with immuno-oncology (IO) therapeutics who experience one or more serious (grade 3-4) immune-related adverse events (irAEs), rare infections or hyperprogression (acceleration of tumor growth). OUTLINE: Patients undergo collection of tissue and blood samples (and optional stool samples from patients experiencing colitis) at the time of registration (within 72 hours of confirmation of one or more severe irAEs) and at 1 month after registration. Patients' medical records are also reviewed for up to 1 year.
