Autoimmune Neurological Diseases and Those Secondary to Immunotherapy: Study of Immunological Mechanisms and Research Into Targets of Immune Attack

Официальное название

Maladies Neurologiques Auto-immunes et Secondaires à l'immunothérapie : étude Des mécanismes Immunologiques et Recherche Des Cibles de l'Attaque Immune

Обзор

The pathophysiology of neurological toxicities secondary to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is unknown. Various mechanisms have been proposed: activation of cytotoxic CD8 T cells, autoantibodies via activation of B cells and CD4 cells, non-specific inflammation through the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and complement activation. The aim of this research is to characterise the pathophysiological mechanisms of neurotoxicities in cancer patients treated with ICIs.

Вмешательства

• Другое Lumbar puncture and blood sampling
  For all patients in the study, lumbar puncture will be performed as part of their care, according to the clinical indication given by the referring physician. If the patient gives their consent, an additional volume of CSF will be collected for this study, so that the total volume collected (care plus research) does not exceed 5 mL. No lumbar puncture will be performed specifically for the study. Blood samples will also be collected: these are additional blood tubes collected during a blood sam

Первичные конечные точки

• Presence of nervous system-specific TCRs in CSF of patients with ICI-related neurotoxicity [Срок оценки: At day 1]

Вторичные конечные точки (3)

• Proportions of lymphocytes [Срок оценки: At day 1]
• Concentration of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines in CSF of patients with ICI-related neurotoxicity and control cohorts [Срок оценки: At day 1]
• Presence and strength of correlation between TCR repertoires and phenotype/ expression profile of CSF lymphocytes and clinical presentation of ICI-related neurotoxicity [Срок оценки: At day 1]
