What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore the nephrotoxicity associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) used in cancer treatment. It focuses on identifying early and predisposition biomarkers for kidney injury in patients undergoing immunotherapy or combination therapies. By understanding the subclinical renal lesions that may arise, the study seeks to enhance patient management through preventive and early diagnostic strategies. The research will involve patients who are about to start immunotherapy, assessing their kidney function and potential risks.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved monitoring and management of kidney health in cancer patients receiving immunotherapy.
How similar studies have gone: While nephrotoxicity in cancer treatments is a known issue, the specific use of urinary biomarkers for early detection in the context of ICIs is a novel approach.
