Predicting Reactions and Effects of Drugs Immunotherapy and Complications Through Oncosafety (PREDICTO Clinical Study)

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer therapy, providing unprecedented responses in a wide range of malignancies. However, they induced various immune-related adverse events (iRAE) that can be life-threatening. About 20% of patients treated with an ICI monotherapy, and up to 60% of patients treated with a combination of ICIs, experienced a severe iRAE. Most side effects are reversible if managed early, but can affect survival and quality of life, leading to treatment interruptions or hospitalization. Some of these irAEs, particularly those affecting hormonal functions, may be irreversible and persist even after treatment discontinuation. The development of predictive biomarkers of such toxicities is an unmet medical need. The variety of mechanisms involved in iRAE, and the lack of effective animal models, could probably explain why the topic remains largely unexplored. To date, some biomarkers predictive of the occurrence of iRAE, irrespective of the type of organ affected, have been identified by state-of-the-art techniques on small cohorts prior to treatment initiation, but none is individually robust enough to be used in daily practice. We hypothesize that a signature derived from the integrative analysis of various biological parameters (immunomonitoring, auto-immunity features, viral monitoring, microbiota monitoring, fragmentome analysis, pharmacokinetics, radiomics and genetics), available in routine hospital practice, could answer this question, and thus enable the development of specific prevention strategies The objectives are : Primary objective: Identify a baseline predictive signature for severe iRAE, irrespective of the type of organ affected. Secondary objectives: * Identify a predictive signature for severe iRAE including baseline and T1 data, irrespective of the type of organ affected. * Identify a baseline predictive signature for organ-specific severe iRAE. * Identify a predictive signature for organ-specific severe iRAE including baseline and T1 data. * Identify a baseline predictive signature for severe iRAE, irrespective of the type of organ affected, for patient receiving an anti-PD(L)1 in monotherapy. * Identify a baseline predictive signature for severe iRAE, irrespective of the type of organ affected, for patient receiving an anti-PD(L)1 in combination. * Identify a baseline predictive signature for severe iRAE, irrespective of the type of organ affected, for each specific immunotherapy received. * Compare the predictive signatures between responders and non-responders according to RECIST 1.1 in order not to overlook the influence of clinical response on the variability observed. * Describe the results obtained for each biological parameter between severe irAEs and non-severe irAEs patients. * Describe patient-reported outcomes and quality of life parameters.

Monitoring of Immunological Mechanisms and Biomarkers Underlying Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Patients With Early Stage Cancer

This is a translational, multicentric, prospective cohort study aiming to identify and to monitor immunological biomarkers associated with therapeutic response to immune checkpoints blockade (ICB), and investigate the immunological dynamics associated with neo-adjuvant immunotherapy in patients with multiple types of early stage solid cancers treated with ICB ± chemotherapy or other therapies, prior to surgery (and after surgery if adjuvant ICB treatment is also administered). 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 in a neo-adjuvant setting (whether in standard of care or within a clinical trial). For each included patient, blood samples will be collected at different time points. Tumor samples will be made available for the research however, no biopsy will be performed specifically for this study. All included patients will be followed up for 5 years after baseline.

By analyzing serum samples using ELISA and correlating them with clinical data such as tumor stage, size, metastasis, and lymph node involvement, the study aims to explore whether these biomarkers-particularly IGF-1Ec and the IGF-1Ec/IGF-1 ratio-can reflect tumor progression and serve as potential prognostic indicators.

Spatially Fractionated Radiotherapy Combined With Immunotherapy for Advanced Solid Tumors

Lattice radiation therapy (LRT) is a spatially fractionated radiotherapy technique that creates alternating high - and low - dose areas within a tumor to enhance local control and reduce toxicity to surrounding tissues. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combining LRT with immunotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, through a Phase II clinical trial. Patients will receive specific - dose irradiation using a medical linear accelerator. Within the GTV of the largest tumor, spheres (0.5 - 3 cm in diameter) will be created as high - dose targets (LRT targets), spaced 2.0 - 5.0 cm apart. The LRT targets must be drawn within the GTV, avoiding blood vessels, with a margin of at least 1 cm from the GTV margin, and a volume ratio of 1% - 10% of the GTV. For a single lesion, the D95 of the GTV will be ≥1 Gy/fraction, and the D95 of the LRT target will be 8 - 12 Gy/fraction, with minimal possible single - fraction doses to organs at risk. All other irradiated metastases will receive low - dose radiotherapy (100 - 300 cGy × 5 fractions), except for brain and bone metastases, which will be treated with palliative radiotherapy as per clinical routine. Immunotherapy will be administered during or within one week after radiotherapy.

The study will enroll patients with advanced solid tumours for whom no standard therapy exists or for whom standard therapy has failed. An independent Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) will review safety data at regular intervals to ensure participant safety and support dose escalation decisions.

Real-life Performance Evaluation of the LiFlow X-ray Platform

The thoraco-abdomino-pelvic (TAP) scanner is crucial for assessing and monitoring solid cancers. However, advancements in scanner technology have led to a significant increase in data volume, from 100 images per exam 20 years ago to 2,000 today. The rising number of cancer cases and treatments requiring closer monitoring further strain the workload, prolonging interpretation time and causing delays in therapeutic management and adjustments. The limited number of radiologists contributes to this saturation, increasing the risk of missing metastatic lesions, especially in the lungs, liver, bones, peritoneum, and lymph nodes. The RECIST 1.1 criteria, introduced 15 years ago for standardized follow-up, are useful but time-consuming to implement, resulting in only a small fraction of oncology CT reports using them.

Application of the sG8 Scale in Real-World Geriatric Oncology Patients

This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational study. The study included patients aged 65 and older with solid tumors requiring systemic anti-tumor therapy. All patients underwent screening using the sG8 scale before the start of treatment, followed by routine treatment based on a plan developed through clinician decision-making. The study did not intervene in any way with the patients' diagnosis and treatment, and relevant clinical data during the treatment process were recorded accurately for follow-up patients. Study data were obtained from the electronic medical record databases and hospital information systems of multiple centers, including Sichuan Cancer Hospital. Patient clinicopathological features, pathological diagnoses, clinical stages, previous treatment histories, as well as anti-tumor treatment regimens after patient enrollment, drug dosages per cycle, treatment start times, incidence and grades of adverse events (AEs), and tumor response were extracted and collected from the medical records. All data were entered, managed, quality-controlled, exported, and analyzed through a real-world data management platform (RWDMP).

68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT for PSMA-expressing Tumor: a Pragmatic Study

This project aims to monitor the innocuity/safety profile of cyclotron-produced \[68Ga\]-PSMA-617 PET imaging in PSMA-expressing cancers. It is a single-site, pragmatic, non-randomized and open-label study, with no control group. Although prostate cancers constitute the usual recommended population for this PET modality, recent evidences suggest that most solid tumors express substantial amount of PSMA in their neovasculature. As such, all cancers (excluding non-solid cancers) will be eligible for \[68Ga\]-PSMA-617 PET imaging in this trial, for as long as their tumors express PSMA. This study also aims to instigate the use of \[68Ga\]-PSMA-617 in the routine standard-of-care for detection and follow-up of eligible cancers. FInally, this project seeks to gather information about the impact on patient management this novel PET modality will have over the current standard-of-care.
