Summary

"This trial aims to see if using brodalumab can safely and effectively manage side effects that occur in cancer patients who have received immunotherapy. These side effects are caused by the immune system becoming over

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with various types of cancer who have experienced side effects from previous immunotherapy treatments. It's aimed at those needing to manage these immune-related adverse events, which are similar to autoimmune disease symptoms.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of brodalumab, a drug approved for autoimmune diseases, in controlling side effects caused by cancer immunotherapies. Participants will undergo regular CT scans to monitor progress.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of brodalumab may include infections, allergic reactions, gastrointestinal issues, and possible activation or worsening of other autoimmune conditions.
