Evaluation of Anti-PD-1 Therapy by Monitoring T Cell Responses in Melanoma, Lung and Other Cancer Types
This study explores the role of T cells in monitoring disease status and response during anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment in patients with melanoma, lung and other cancer types. Measuring levels of specific targets such as Bim and soluble PD-L1 during therapy may help track treatment resistance and clinical outcomes. This information may also help researchers determine why some people with melanoma, lung and other cancer types respond to PD-1/PD-L1 treatment and others do not.

Who may be able to participate
The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.
- Are 18 years of age or older
- Have histologic evidence of locally or regionally advanced or stage IV malignancy
- Are considered appropriate for starting therapy with anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody by their treating physician (prior therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) is allowed)
- Have an understanding of the protocol and its requirements, risks, and discomforts
- Are willing to undergo peripheral blood collection at the time points mentioned in the protocol
- Are able and willing to sign an informed consent
- Inability on the part of the patient to understand the informed consent or be compliant with the protocol
- Patients receiving any concurrent anti-cancer therapy or investigational agents (with the exception of an anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 agent as mentioned above)
- Patients who are pregnant, nursing, or are of childbearing potential and are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
