Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The relationship between different degrees of pain control and the therapeutic efficacy of ICIs (immune checkpoint inhibitors) in patients with advanced cancer pain.

The therapeutic efficacy includes progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and overall survival (OS). Additionally, analyze whether the use of opioid drugs independently affects the therapeutic efficacy.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
