Infliximab or Vedolizumab in Treating Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Related Colitis in Patients With Genitourinary Cancer or Melanoma

Description

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of infliximab and vedolizumab and to see how well they work in treating inflammation of the colon (colitis) caused by immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with cancer of the genital and urinary organs (genitourinary) or melanoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as infliximab or vedolizumab, may help to treat immunotherapy induced colitis/diarrhea. This study may help to identify the optimal treatment strategy for immune checkpoint inhibitor-related colitis in patients with genitourinary cancer or melanoma.

Conditions

Colitis, Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma, Malignant Genitourinary System Neoplasm, Malignant Solid Neoplasm, Melanoma

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients who receive any type of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy
  • * Patients with peak grade \>= 2 immune-related diarrhea and/or colitis (according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 within 45 days prior to initiation of study treatment (infliximab/ vedolizumab)
  • * Patients with ability to understand and willingness to sign informed consent
  • * Patients with genitourinary cancer or melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer
  • * No concern for active concomitant GI infection for immune-related diarrhea and/or colitis work up at the time of protocol therapy initiation as confirmed by stool tests or as per the treating physician based on clinical presentation
  • * Patient who has been cleared for enrollment by Infectious Diseases consultant or treating physician if positive infection workup or screening tests (e.g. lifelong positive T-spot due to BCG inoculation, chronic colonization) prior to initiation of diarrhea/colitis treatment
  • * Patients younger than 18 years of age
  • * Patients with persistent gastrointestinal infection confirmed with positive testing despite completing 5 days of antibiotics
  • * Patients are on concurrent immunosuppressive therapies other than what will be given for colitis
  • * Patients with preexisting activehistory of inflammatory bowel disease and/or radiation enterocolitis with active disease status at the time of study treatment initiation
  • * Pregnant and breastfeeding women, and
  • * Women of child-bearing potential who have positive urine or serum pregnancy test or refuse to do pregnancy test unless last menstrual cycle was \> 1 year prior to consent and/ or clear documentation states that patient is peri- or post-menopausal or there was recent supporting objective evidence of 'no pregnancy' status (e.g. blood or imaging) within 30 days prior to initiation of study treatment
  • * Patients who develop concurrent non-GI toxicity at the time of study treatment initiation
