Tools, Biomarkers Needed to Identify Immune-Related Toxicities

September 6, 2017
By Vamsidhar Velcheti, MD
Video

This video reviews the need for biomarkers and tools that could identify those at high risk of immune-related toxicities among patients undergoing immunotherapy treatment.

In this video, Vamsidhar Velcheti, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, discusses the need for tools and biomarkers to identify those at high risk of immune-related toxicities among patients undergoing immunotherapy treatment, and reviews some of the dangerous toxicities that can occur.

Velcheti gave a presentation on this topic earlier this year during an education session at the 2017 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.

Ongoing ctDNA analysis may elucidate outcomes associated with divarasib plus migoprotafib for those with KRAS G12C–positive NSCLC.
The FirstLook liquid biopsy, when used as an adjunct to low-dose CT, may help to address the unmet need of low lung cancer screening utilization.
An 80% sensitivity for lung cancer was observed with the liquid biopsy, with high sensitivity observed for early-stage disease, as well.
Patients who face smoking stigma, perceive a lack of insurance, or have other low-dose CT related concerns may benefit from blood testing for lung cancer.
