Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Blood screening
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Tissue screening

Experimental: Single agent PD-1/L1 inhibitor -

Experimental: PD-1/L1 inhibitor + CTLA-4 inhibitor -

Experimental: Platinum-based chemotherapy + PD-1/L1 inhibitor -

Experimental: PD-1/L1 inhibitor + tyrosine kinase inhibitor -

Experimental: PD-1/L1 inhibitor + VEGF inhibitor -


Diagnosis / Prognosis: Blood screening
Blood will be taken in order to elucidate transcriptomic and proteomic differences (1) pre- and post-ICI treatment commencement; (2) in patients with and without immune-related adverse events.

Diagnosis / Prognosis: Tissue screening
Archival tumor tissue (FFPE) will be spatially analysed in order to define tissue heterogeneity in tumor samples regarding cancer immune cell transcriptional profiles and correlate it with the occurrence/development of immune-related adverse events.
