Trial summary

It was previously shown that ICI-colitis can be treated with extracorporeal photophoresis. Therefore this retrospective analysis is launched to study the chnages of immune cells in the peripheral blood and intestinal tract in an ICI colitis patient cohort. Read more about this study

About this study

It was previously shown that ICI-colitis can be treated with extracorporeal photophoresis. Therefore this retrospective analysis is launched to study the chnages of immune cells in the peripheral blood and intestinal tract in an ICI colitis patient cohort. The analysis will include the evaluation of intestinal and peripheral blood biomarkers in patients with ICI colitis receiving ECP as a treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colitis and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Related Colitis, run by University of Freiburg at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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 3 Apr 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 Germany. 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?

T cell number and phenotype measurement in the intestinal tract (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06074874, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 3 Apr 2024.
