About this study

The aim of this trial is to identify biomarkers and genetic predisposition for the development of immune checkpoint related colitis.

Read the detailed description

Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint-inhibitors is standard treatment for patients with melanoma. However, in about 15% of patients treated with Ipilimumab a grade 3-4 colitis will occur. In programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) inhibitors colitis is also seen as adverse event, although less prominent. We want to find a good predictive biomarker to select patients that are prone to colitis.So far no test is available that might be predictive whether a patient will develop a grade 3-4 colitis.

The study will consists of four parts: 1.) to identify a genetic profile associated with ipilimumab-induced colitis, 2.) to identify predictive (serum or fecal) biomarkers for ipilimumab-induced colitis, 3.) to study the tissue of ipilimumab-induced colitis and 4) to study the role of the gut microbiome in the development of colitis. Patients are able to participate in one, or more parts of the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Genetic predisposition for immunotherapy-induced colitis

    Difference in genetic profile on 99 confirmed inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) loci between patients who develop immunotherapy-induced colitis and who do not.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy-induced colitis in stool and serum

    Comparison of calprotectin levels in the stool and serum-levels of C reactive protein (CRP), endotoxin, citrulline, intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP), calprotectin and interleukin 8 (IL8) between patients who develop immunotherapy-induced colitis and who do not.

    Measured: Day 0, 21, 42, 63

  2. Clinical scoring system of colitis

    Prediction of (severity of) colitis based on symptomatology measured with the MAYO score and BRISTOL stool scale.

    Measured: Day -7 to 85

  3. Histological assessment of colon biopsies in patients that develop colitis

    Immunotherapy-induced colitis will be assessed in colon biopsies when a sigmoidoscopy has to be performed for diagnostic reasons.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Analysis of the gut microbiome in stool samples

    Microbiome analysis in stool collected before treatment and at 3, 6, and 9 weeks and correlation with development of immunotherapy-induced colitis.

    Measured: Day 0, 21, 42, 63

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Melanoma and Colitis, run by University Medical Center Groningen at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Genetic predisposition for immunotherapy-induced colitis (time frame: 1 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 May 2024.
