Can we predict dangerous side effects of cancer immunotherapy?
NCT ID NCT07357636
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 940 adult cancer patients starting immunotherapy to understand why some develop immune-related side effects, especially those affecting the brain and nerves. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data over time to find early warning signs. The goal is to better predict and manage these side effects, making immunotherapy safer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better ways to predict and manage immune-related side effects from cancer immunotherapy, improving patient safety and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly benefit participants. It may not find clear biomarkers, and results may take years to impact clinical practice.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adult patients (≥18 years) with histologically confirmed solid malignancies who are initiating a new immune checkpoint inhibitor regimen, either as standard of care or within an approved clinical trial. Participants are enrolled prior to the first immune checkpoint inhibitor dose and followed longitudinally to assess the development of immune-related adverse events and associated immune and inflammatory biomarker changes.
