NCT ID NCT04766515
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 6,000 adults with solid tumors who are receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors as part of their routine cancer care. Researchers are tracking how long patients live and how long their disease stays under control. The goal is to learn how well these drugs work in everyday practice, beyond the controlled conditions of clinical trials.
