A Study on the Clinical Classification and Outcome-Related Biological Markers of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Related Myocarditis in Lung Cancer Patients
This study aims to investigate the clinical classification and outcome-related biomarkers of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related myocarditis in patients with lung cancer.A total of 50 patients with ICI-related myocarditis will be enrolled, including 25 with severe/critical myocarditis and 25 with subclinical/mild myocarditis. Blood samples will be collected at baseline and at follow-up time points (3 days, 7 days, and before discharge). Traditional myocardial injury markers, iron metabolism-related markers, and immunological markers will be measured and compared between groups. Changes in biomarkers after treatment will also be assessed. Clinical information such as in-hospital mortality and 3-month survival rates will be integrated to develop a severity assessment model. This model aims to evaluate disease severity and prognostic risk accurately by combining biomarkers, enhancing their application in clinical management.
• Pathologically confirmed lung cancer and having received at least one dose of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy;
