Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
online or telephone survey

This is a cross-sectional survey. Our main method of communication with patients will be email. Participants will complete a single online or telephone survey at a minimum of 12 months post initial treatment of checkpoint inhibitors and remain on maintenance therapy.

Behavioral: EuroQoL EQ-5D-3L
Overall QOL

Behavioral: EORTC QLQ-C30
General symptoms; physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning scales; fatigue, nausea/vomiting , and pain scales

Other: PRO-CTCAE
Additional potential immune-specific symptoms

Behavioral: Fatigue severity score questionnaire
Fatigue severity

Behavioral: The COST
Financial toxicity; satisfaction with ability to work

Behavioral: Physician information

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. total score of Global QOL overall health index [1 year]

    On the EQ-5D-3L, respondents are asked to indicate their health state by marking the box associated with the most appropriate statement in each of the 5 dimensions, resulting in a one digit number expressing the level (1-3) selected for that dimension from no problems to extreme problems.
