Abstract: How the ImmuCare-PRO program worksResults: A total of 5202 questionnaires completed by 136 patients led to 783 (15.1%) alert scores; 64 of them were associated with 69 grade 2 or above IrAEs, with 22 (34.4%)questionnaires correctly detecting 27 grade 2 or above IrAEs; saving a mean 4.1 days on the next scheduled visit and leading to only 1 emergency room visit.Forty-two grade 2 or above IrAEs (mainly blood disorders, n=31) were not detected.False alerts often resulted from functional or non-specific symptoms (32.3%), such as fatigue or general pain.Conclusions: A third of moderate-to-severe IrAEs, and most of those with clinical impact, mainly skin toxicities, colitis and rheumatological IrAEs, were correctly detected by ImmuCare-PRO program, allowing earlier management while avoiding visit to the emergency room.
