Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Brain tumors: To characterize and quantify changes in immune parameters during disease within patients with a CNS malignancy AML: To characterize and quantify changes in immune parameters during disease within patients with AML. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Brain tumors: Secondary Objectives To evaluate the effect of therapy on the immune profiles To evaluate survival for different molecular- and immune profiles Explorative Objectives To determine tumor-specific cell surface proteins To characterize tumor infiltrating lymphocytes To determine faeces composition To correlate molecular characteristics with the immune profile for the different tumor entities AML: Exploratory objectives: To evaluate survival and treatment response for different molecular- and immune profiles To characterize the amenability of primary AML samples and immune cells to respond to immunotherapy in preclinical models | — |
