Blood test may predict dangerous immunotherapy reactions
NCT ID NCT07249060
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find a way to predict which cancer patients will experience side effects from immunotherapy. These side effects happen when the immune system attacks healthy tissues, similar to autoimmune diseases. Researchers will collect blood samples from 300 cancer patients starting immunotherapy and 40 people with autoimmune diseases to measure substances called interferons. The goal is to develop a test that helps doctors identify high-risk patients before treatment begins.

ICI cohort: Inclusion Criteria: * Initiation of treatment with a single ICI or dual ICI therapy in accordance with current clinical guidelines; * Patients who are treatment-naïve to ICIs; and * Age ≥18 years. Exclusion Criteria: * Estimated mortality of less than 3 months from the start of treatment; * Current combination therapy with chemotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, or other tumor-specific treatments; * Contraindication to treatment with ICIs (documented hypersensitivity, severe active autoimmune disease, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group \[ECOG\] ≥3); * Ongoing immunosuppressive therapy, including prednisone at doses \>10 mg/day or equivalent. SAD cohort: Inclusion Criteria: * Meeting classification criteria for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) (ACR/EULAR 2019), Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS) (ACR/EULAR 2016), Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) (ACR/EULAR 2013), and/or Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy (IIM) (ACR/EULAR 2017). * Age ≥18 years old. Exclusion Criteria: * Estimated mortality less than 3 months from the start of follow-up. * Active immunosuppressive treatment, including prednisone at doses \>10 mg/day or equivalent. * Recent diagnosis (\<1 year) of cancer, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, or currently receiving active oncology-specific treatment.
