This is a single-center, correlative pilot study evaluating potential biomarkers predictive of immune-related adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. The study includes a control population of patients receiving standard chemotherapy as a comparator. Patients will undergo blood draws at 4 time-points while on standard of care treatment. There are no study-related medications or interventions beyond blood sampling.
