Autoimmune Adverse Effects of Anti-neoplasic Drug

Brief summary

The use of Checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is rapidly expanding to the treatment of many cancer types. Autoimmunity and clinical autoimmune diseases represent adverse events of ICIs with variable severity and consequences. Clinical trials using ICIs have largely excluded patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases but the rate of autoimmune flares has been reported to be high in patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases in retrospective cohort studies. Moreover numerous retrospective cases and series reported ICI-related autoimmune diseases in patients without any previous autoimmune event. To date, no study has prospectively evaluated the rate of biological and clinical autoimmunity in patients. Moreover, guidelines concerning autoantibodies monitoring in patients are subject of debate.

Detailed description

The aim of this prospective study is to determine development or increase level frequencies of different types of autoantibodies in patients receiving ICI for the first time. The rate of clinical autoimmunes diseases development will also be recorded and correlated with autoantibodies prevalence before and during ICI treatment. Results will help to determine the rate of biological and clinical autoimmune events induced by ICIs in unselected patients and will help to clarify autoimmunity screening strategy in this setting.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
development or increase level of anti-nuclear antibodyMonth 6Development of anti-nuclear antibody will be defined by detection of autoantibodies above the positive threshold of the test if below the positive threshold initially (seroconversion) Increase level of anti-nuclear antibody will be defined by increase of at least 2 dilutions of the antibody titer
development or increase level of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodiesMonth 6Development of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies will be defined by detection of autoantibodies above the positive threshold of the test if below the positive threshold initially (seroconversion) Increase level of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies will be defined by doubling the concentration of the antibody titer
development or increase level of rheumatoid factorMonth 6Development of rheumatoid factor will be defined by detection of autoantibodies above the positive threshold of the test if below the positive threshold initially (seroconversion) Increase level of rheumatoid factor will be defined by doubling the concentration of the antibody titer
development or increase level of Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodiesMonth 6Development of Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies will be defined by detection of autoantibodies above the positive threshold of the test if below the positive threshold initially (seroconversion) Increase level of Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies will be defined by doubling the concentration of the antibody titer
development or increase level of Anti-thyroperoxydase antibodiesMonth 6Development of anti-TSH receptor antibodies will be defined by detection of autoantibodies above the positive threshold of the test if below the positive threshold initially (seroconversion) Increase level of anti-TSH receptor antibodies will be defined by doubling the concentration of the antibody titer
development or increase level of Auto-antibodies associated with myositisMonth 6Development of Auto-antibodies associated with myositis antibodies will be defined by detection of autoantibodies above the positive threshold of the test if below the positive threshold initially (seroconversion) Increase level of Auto-antibodies associated with myositis antibodies will be defined by doubling the concentration of the antibody titer
