This clinical trial is to clarify and investigate the patterns of immune-related hepatitis and the optimal treatment choice for patients who are steroid-dependent. The project aims to prospectively characterize the various histopathological, biochemical, and phenotypical liver injury patterns induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors and the treatment responses to corticosteroids. Furthermore, the effect of adding a second-line immunosuppressive drug, either MMF in steroid-refractory or steroid-dependent cases will be explored and compared.
