Evaluating the Safety of Shortened Infusion Times for dIfferent Oncological Immunotherapies; An Observational Prospective Study

This study is an interventional, explorative, prospective study to show whether shortening of infusion times for patients using nivolumab, pembrolizumab, ipilimumab, trastuzumab, bevacizumab, durvalumab or atezolizumab continues to be associated with an acceptable safety profile.

Infusion times will be gradually shortened if tolerability allowes.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

After two cycles with normal infusion times, infusion time will be shortened to 15 mintues en 10 minutes subsequently if no infusion reaction occurs.

Patient satisfaction will be evaluated.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Incidence of infusion related reactions
Time Frame: During or within 30 minutes after the end of the infusion
During or within 30 minutes after the end of the infusion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Plasma levels of the administered mAb
Time Frame: Within 15 minutes before start of the infusion
Within 15 minutes before start of the infusion

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Satisfaction with shortened infusion time assessed by the VAS
Time Frame: Directly after infusion in fourth cycle (cycle length ranges from 21-42 days, depending on the specific antibody)
Scale 1-10, 1: not satisfied at all, 10: most satisfied
Directly after infusion in fourth cycle (cycle length ranges from 21-42 days, depending on the specific antibody)
