Summary

This study looks at whether people with certain cancers prefer getting their immune therapy as a shot under the skin (subcutaneous) or through a needle in a vein (intravenous). About 880 adults who are already eligible for standard treatments like nivolumab or pembrolizumab will be asked about their satisfaction and preference. The goal is to understand which method patients like better, not to test if the drugs work.

Such patients may be considered for enrollment at the time of commencing adjuvant therapy in cohorts A-2 or B-2 as appropriate.
