BOPA Questionnaire – Monitoring and Treatments for Immune-Related Myocarditis

By BOPA on 22nd July 2025

The BOPA Immunotherapy Specialist Interest Group invites all BOPA members to complete this survey.
This builds on our previous work exploring the known disparity across the UK with regards to access to drugs for immune-related (IR) adverse effects. IR-myocarditis is a rare and serious complication of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).

Firstly, we aim to understand what cardiac assessments are undertaken prior to ICI therapy and the monitoring during therapy. Also we are wanting to discover which drugs and in particular which steroid sparing agents are prescribed for IR-myocarditis. Please find below the link and a QR code to take you to the survey, which should take around 12 minutes to complete. Analysis of these results will be used to highlight the difficulties in treating patients with this life-threatening IR adverse effect.
