Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The number of patients who experience drug-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events assessed by CTCAE 4.0 will be reduced by 50% in the intervention arm compared to patients in the control arm

    The first 6 months of treatment with immunotherapy

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • The time patients experience grade 2 or higher toxicity assessed by CTCAE, differs in the intervention arm and the control arm respectively

    The first 6 months of treatment with immunotherapy

  • The number of drug-related adverse events assessed by CTCAE 4.0 reported in the intervention will be higher compared to the adverse events reported in the control arm

    The first 6 months of treatment with immunotherapy

  • The number of contacts to the hospital will be higher in the intervention arm compared to patients in the control arm

    The first 6 months of treatment with immunotherapy

  • The number of hospitalizations are fewer in the intervention arm compared to the control arm.

    The first 6 months of treatment with immunotherapy

  • Patients in the intervention arm receive a lower accumulated prednisone dose compared to patients in the control arm

    The first 6 months of treatment with immunotherapy

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)
