NCT04204434 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Biomarkers For I.C. Inhibitors
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 119
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 2

Brief Summary

This is a laboratory, non-treatment study. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are a type of immunotherapy that stimulates a patients immune system to fight their cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are standard, FDA approved treatment for certain types of cancers such as melanoma, lung cancer, kidney cancer and bladder cancer. The laboratories of Dr. Jack Elias and Dr. Chun Geun Lee at Brown University are studying how immune checkpoint inhibitors work.Kintai Therapeutics is a biotech company in Cambridge Massachusetts that will focus on the molecules present in the GI tract, including the stomach, small intestine and colon.

Conditions

Advanced Cancer; Neoplasms

Keywords

Cancer; Advanced; Solid Tumor; Advanced Solid Tumor

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• To determine serum predictors of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors at study entry, prior to checkpoint inhibitor therapy

  Measure biomarker levels of immune checkpoint inhibitors in blood serum

  At study entry, prior to checkpoint inhibitor therapy Anytime between 6-12 weeks after initiating treatment.

• To determine serum predictors of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors 4-weeks after initiation of treatment

  Measure biomarker levels of immune checkpoint inhibitorsin blood serum

  Within 4 weeks after initiation of treatment

• To determine serum predictors of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors anytime between 6-12 weeks after initiating treatment.

  Measure biomarker levels of immune checkpoint inhibitors in blood serum

  6-12 weeks after initiating treatment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• To evaluate bacteria, and bacterial products in gut microbiome before and after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors and correlate to response and toxicity.
