NCT ID NCT05139706
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects medical information and biological samples (blood, tissue, stool) from 1,000 cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. The goal is to understand why some patients develop immune-related side effects and find ways to predict and manage them. Participants include cancer patients on immunotherapy, people with autoimmune conditions, and healthy volunteers.
