Analyzing liver injury risks in lung cancer patients using PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors

A Clinical Study on the Analysis of Risk Factors for the Occurrence of PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor-associated Liver Injury in Lung Cancer Patients

Zhejiang University · NCT06402981

This study is trying to find out what factors might increase the risk of liver injury in lung cancer patients who are being treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the risk factors associated with liver injury in lung cancer patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. By reviewing clinical data from patients treated between January 2020 and June 2024, the study seeks to identify specific risk factors and construct a predictive model for liver injury occurrence. The findings could lead to improved immunotherapy protocols and better management of adverse effects related to these treatments. The study addresses a critical gap in understanding the safety profile of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in this patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are lung cancer patients aged 18-80 who have received at least one PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatment.

Not a fit: Patients with severe liver injury prior to immunotherapy or deemed unsuitable by the investigator may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy for lung cancer patients by preventing liver injuries.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, this specific focus on liver injury risk factors is relatively novel and underexplored.
