Adaptive Symptom Self-Management Immunotherapy Study

Description

The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), alone or in combination with other cancer treatments is increasing dramatically with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) common (90%) during ICI treatment. Most irAEs are symptomatic and symptom self-management with timely reporting of moderate or severe symptoms to health care providers (HCPs) may reduce irAE severity by early recognition and management, resulting in fewer treatment interruptions and unscheduled health services.

Conditions

Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, Lung Cancer, Skin Cancer, Rectum Cancer
