Brief Summary

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

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of concurrent administration of influenza vaccine in patients receiving anti-PD1 immunotherapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab). This will be a prospective observational study, aiming to assess patient tolerance of treatment, adverse events (incidence, grade, need for hospitalization), incidence of influenza infections, and seroconversion rates.
