A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to investigate the physical and psychological needs of patients with advanced cancer undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. It will assess the severity of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), financial toxicity, and overall quality of life through a combination of cross-sectional and prospective cohort methodologies. Patients will complete a series of structured questionnaires at various points during their treatment to gather data on their experiences and needs. The findings will help develop a risk prediction model to identify high-risk patients and improve care strategies.
