Study summary

An increasing number of cancer patients are eligible to receive immunotherapy. Efficacy and tolerance have been demonstrated in multicentre randomized clinical trials with positive results. However, real-life experience differs from clinical trial results, especially regarding the management of potential adverse events. HR-QoL (Health Related Quality of Life) is one of the components of QoL (Quality of Life) in its broad acceptation and is certainly the only one usually collected in trials while little is known about QoL in cancer patients treated in the 'real-world'. QUALITOP partners intend to bring together all relevant longitudinal information present in large heterogeneous data (big data) to estimate patient QoL and find surrogate markers of QoL and its evolution. Within the QUALITOP consortium, 5 countries will collect prospective clinical and QoL data and also retrospective clinical data, and share it. This project will enable collecting, managing, sharing, modelling, processing, and exploiting big data on QoL. Furthermore, beyond the description of QoL, analytical tools (including causal inference methods and machine learning) are needed to understand the determinants of QoL and their complex relationships with irAEs (immune related Adverse Events) in a big-data context where standard statistical techniques would be limited. Artificial intelligence and causal models may be applied and developed to empower the patient, prevent adverse medical conditions, and promote QoL. The created knowledge will enable proposing guidelines for promoting better QoL.

QUALITOP aims at identifying the determinants of health status regarding immunotherapy-related adverse events (IR-AEs, such as toxicities) depending on the patient's profile in a real-world context.

The richness of QUALITOP is in the diversity of the experts who will collaborate in it. Clinicians involved in the care (thus the health status of the patients) will collaborate with psychologists and sociologists to understand and integrate complementary dimensions of QoL related to immunotherapy. Experts in pharmacovigilance and pharmacists will investigate the IR-AEs and their associations with patient behaviour and non-drug consumption. Epidemiologists, data scientists (including bioinformaticians and biostatisticians) and economists will extract information from the data and develop simulation models to produce knowledge. The project will take place in close relation with patient associations that will interact with experts to design the analyses, interpret their results, and proceed to their dissemination.

The main objective is to collect data of patients receiving immunotherapy in order to describe its impact in their quality of life.

  • Create the first real-life cohort of cancer patients treated with immunotherapy within a context of multidimensional management (with data on clinical information, health-related QoL (HR-QoL), IR-AEs, drug consumption, lifestyle, and administrative data).
  • Accelerate knowledge directed to different stakeholders (patients, relatives, clinicians, pharmacists, health authorities, and the general public) for a better understanding of the determinants of QoL and its optimization after immunotherapy through the development of innovative analytic tools (artificial intelligence and causal models).
  • Produce policies and recommendations to improve patients QoL and participate in the implementation of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) for 4P medicine (Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participative) in immunotherapy for cancer patients.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Assesment of the QoL& irAEs determinants in patients diagnosed with solid or hematologic cancer and treated in France, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, with immunotherapy by immune checkpoint inhibitors or CAR-T cells.

    Descriptive analysis of QoL determinants (which are there ? what are their impacts ? etc) based on collected data from the beginning of the treatment to 2 years.

    Time frame: Clinical data will be collected during 18 months starting from treatment initiation, or until the last patient reaches the 18 months follow-up. Clinical and biological changes occurring during the treatment will be assessed and compared to baseline. QoL

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2023, 47 months after the start.

Of 165 non-industry observational studies under Hematologic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 74 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 34 and three quarters within 234. This study's planned 47 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 185 studies reached it within 72 months; a quarter within 32 and three quarters within 234.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 25, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
