Impact of Telemonitoring for the Management of Side Effects in Patients With Melanoma, Lung or Renal Cancer, Treated With Immunotherapy Combination of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab or Adjuvant Nivolumab Monotherapy

Study Purpose

The ipilimumab and nivolumab combination is now part of the standard of care for the treatment of melanoma, renal and lung cancer patients. Grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) occur in 30 to 60% of patients included in clinical trials. Grade 3/4 AEs are more frequently observed (50-60% of patients) in melanoma because ipilimumab is administrated at 3mg/kg in this population. Among these AEs, early detection of immune related AEs is critical to an adequate medical management. In this context, dedicated tools for remote monitoring of these patients are crucial. The investigators developed within the Immucare consortium a simplified medical questionnaire which is addressed weekly to the patients. This questionnaire along with an algorithm gives to the clinician regular feedback on their patients' general symptoms. The investigators herein want to evaluate in a randomized prospective trial the efficacy of this remote monitoring to reduce the time between the start of AE and the reporting to the medical team, which could lead to detect and treat earlier AEs induced by nivolumab and ipilimumab in the melanoma, lung and renal cancer patients' population.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT04605146
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	N/A

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Tele-monitoring group

In the experimental group, in addition to routine practice, each patient will benefit of a tele-monitoring of one year, and a long term follow-up up to 5 years to evaluate the Overall Survival and the Progression-Free Survival. Quality of life questionnaire will also be filled in at inclusion, M3 and M12. 50 patients are expected in this arm.

No Intervention: Control group

In the control group, patients will have a routine follow-up as per institutional practice, and a long term follow-up up to 5 years to evaluate the Overall Survival and the Progression-Free Survival. Quality of life questionnaire will also be filled in at inclusion, M3 and M12. 50 patients are expected in this arm.

Interventions

Behavioral: - Tele-monitoring

The tele-monitoring will consist in filling in a specific questionnaire once a week in the first 6 months, every 2 weeks until 12 months, and on-demand (in case of upcoming toxicity, at any time). These questionnaires will be reviewed by a coordinating nurse. According to the result of the questionnaire, the coordinating nurse will adapt patients' management, either by giving them a phone call, or inviting them to directly contact their medical department, or even plan an emergency hospitalization if necessary. The coordinating nurse will closely work with the investigator to adapt patients' management. Quality of life questionnaire (FACT-G) will also be filled in at inclusion, M3 and M12.
