Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to establish a prospective observational cohort of cancer immunotherapy patients with GI side effects in order to identify biomarkers that predict GI complications due to treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary objective

* To create a data and bio-specimen repository to enhance both safety and efficacy of immunotherapy

Secondary objective

* Identify biomarkers that may predict GI toxicity in cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy
* Define the clinical course of intestinal inflammation and identify genetic factors of therapeutic response to GI medications
* Analyze genotype-phenotype correlations in GI side effects in patients undergoing cancer immunotherapy
