Overview

The number of patients affected by cancer and treated with immunotherapy is continuously increasing. With the advent of these new therapies, the investigators observe the emergence of new and unexpected toxicities. The care of patients treated with these molecules require the development of multidisciplinary skills and the introduction of a professional network capable of taking care of immunotherapy related toxicity (irAE) that can affect different organs and for which immediate and effective interventions are necessary for patient survival.

IMMUCARE-BASE will comprehensively enable the collection, of clinical and biological data of patients treated with anticancer immunotherapy. The creation of this database is essential to identify clinico-biological factors predisposing to toxicity, and to define the best strategies to prevent the early onset of irAE and/or to treat them. Ultimately, the objective of this database is to collect enough data to be able to personalise in the future the immunotherapy treatment according to the benefits and to anticipate risks for each patient.

The objective of the biological collection is to perform ancillary studies for understanding mechanism leading to toxicity and for the development of research programs in the field of immunotherapy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age > 18
• Patient starting anticancer immunotherapy treatment(immune checkpoint inhibitors like anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA4, anti-Lag-3, anti-Tim-3, anti-TIGIT or other new anticancer immunotherapy) in monotherapy or associatied with other anticancer molecules.
• Patient who had already received immunotherapy can be eligible to IMMUCARE-BASE provided that the last immunotherapy treatment had been administered > 6 months ago.
• Patient who received written information about IMMUCARE-BASE.
• Patient receiving immunotherapy as a part of a clinical trial can be eligible to IMMUCARE-BASE according to the indications given by the promoter of this trial.
• Patient in a clinical trial which includes a combination of therapy with one of the drugs administered in a blind manner vs placebo, can be eligible to IMMUCARE-BASE provided that (i) the treatment administered in a blind manner is not the immunotherapy and (ii) the clinical trial allows concomitant participation of a patient in another non-interventional study.
• A Patient that has been already included in IMMUCARE-BASE and who terminates the study because of a change of treatment, can be included again in IMMUCARE-BASE if he/she agrees and provided that (i) is the new treatment includes immunotherapy (alone or in association with other anticancer molecules) and (iii) the new immunotherapy treatment is administered after 6 months from the last administration of the previous immunotherapy.
