Monitoring of Immunological Mechanisms and Biomarkers Underlying Efficacy and Toxicity of Cancer Immunotherapy
This is a translational, open-label, multi-site, prospective cohort study aiming to identify and to monitor immunological biomarkers associated with therapeutic response to immune checkpoints blockade (ICB), in patients with multiple types of advanced (unresectable and/or metastatic) solid cancers. The study will be conducted on a population of patients receiving ICB (anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 or anti-CTLA4, alone or in combination) in the context of either routine care or a clinical study protocol. Patients with any of the following tumor types may be enrolled in the trial: * Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), * Head and neck cancer, * Melanoma, * Bladder cancer, * Other tumor types when Immuno-Oncology agent is expected to be efficient or when a clinical trial is an option. For each included patient, tumor biopsy specimens and blood samples will be collected at different time points. All included patients will be followed-up until progression. After this date, survival data will be collected.
• Age ≥18 years at the time of study entry.
• Patient with histologically documented metastatic and/or unresectable solid malignant tumor (NSCLC, head and neck, melanoma (except uveal melanoma), bladder cancer or any other advanced solid tumor when I-O agent is expected to be efficient or when a clinical trial is an option).
• Patient for which a treatment with immune checkpoint blockade including, but not limited to, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 mAb alone or in combination has been decided.
• Archived tumor specimen available or feasible for pre-treatment tumor biopsy.
• Current treatment with ICB not yet started.
• Evaluable disease (measurable as per RECIST 1.1. or not).
• ECOG Performance status 0-2.
• Patient able to participate and willing to give informed consent prior to performance of any study-related procedures.
• Patient affiliated to a Social Health Insurance in France.
