Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Text triage	The e-triage will consist of 16 questions, modified from the validated NCI Pro-CTCAETM, which will be sent to patients via WaytoHealth©'s two-way texting system 96 hours prior to their scheduled immunotherapy infusion. Questions will pertain to common or emergent immune related adverse events as defined by the NCCN guidelines and two senior disease experts. Patients will be prompted via text to measure the presence and severity of symptoms over the week prior. A final question will be included to capture any additional symptoms patients wish to disclose.
