About this trial

Checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) is a common fatal immune-related adverse events of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Early diagnosis of CIP is crucial for timely intervention and improved prognosis; however, the absence of precise and effective diagnostic techniques often leads to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. The investigators conducted a prospective clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness of ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based lipoprotein and metabolite analysis in diagnosing checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP), aiming to improve its early diagnosis rate.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Highly suspected of having checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis based on radiological abnormalities and/or pulmonary symptoms (including fever, cough, and dyspnea).

Disqualifiers

Pulmonary lesions were definitively diagnosed as tumor progression, bacterial pneumonia, or pulmonary edema;

Incomplete or missing follow-up data.
