Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of using brodalumab in patients who develop side effects from cancer immune therapy. Immune-related side effects are due to activation of the immune system in patients who previously received immunotherapy and the goal of this study is to help better control these side effects. Brodalumab is often used to treat patients with autoimmune diseases (diseases where the immune system is activated against normal organs) and safe doses and treatment schedules have been determined in these patients. Immune-related side effects appear to closely mirror these autoimmune conditions. Brodalumab has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in immunotherapy side effects but it has been approved for treatment of autoimmune conditions.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing brodalumab — a drug that blocks an inflammatory molecule called IL-17 — for treating serious side effects caused by cancer immunotherapy. These side effects, called immune-related adverse events (irAEs), happen when cancer immunotherapy mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 and being treated with immunotherapy for advanced or metastatic cancer - You have developed an immune-related side effect suspected to be driven by IL-17 inflammation - You are already on or are planning to start systemic steroids for this side effect - You have tested negative for tuberculosis within 30 days before starting the trial **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer is being treated with curative intent (the study is only for those with advanced or metastatic disease) - You have active tuberculosis or certain other serious infections - You have certain inflammatory bowel conditions (like Crohn's disease) that may be worsened by blocking IL-17 Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
