Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Difference in fecal calprotectin levels in relation to severity of endoscopic colitis

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Difference in mucosal regulatory foxp3+ T cells and their expression of cytokine profiles between patients with and without colitis - Endoscopic and histologic findings in patients with colitis in both affected and non-affected mucosa. - Risk factors for developing immunotherapy induced colitis - Age and gender of patients; - Type of malignancy; - Type and dose of immunotherapy (and combination with other anti-cancer therapy); - history of auto immune disease; - baseline fecal calprotectin - The correlation between complaints, fecal calprotectin levels and endoscopic image - interval between start checkpoint inhibitors and symptoms - presence of gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, mucus or blood in stool, abdominal pain) - complications of colitis (perforation, death) - other irAEs
