Official title
Assessing the Performance of "DCog Short", an iPad-Based Tool for Neurotoxicity Evaluation in CAR-T Cell Therapy Patients: A Pilot Study
Overview
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of DCog Short, a self-reporting, iPad-based application tool, in assessing neurotoxicity in participants undergoing CAR-T cell therapy.
Detailed description
The goal of this pilot study is to determine the effectiveness of DCog Short, a self-reporting, iPad-based application tool, in assessing neurotoxicity in participants undergoing CAR-T cell therapy. This is the first time investigators are examining this tool.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved DCOG Short as a mobile application tool to evaluate neurotoxicity for hematologic malignancies.
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, questionnaires, and cognitive assessments.
It is expected that about 40 people will take part in this research study.
Interventions
- Behavioral DCog Short
An iPad-based cognitive assessment instrument to evaluate neurotoxicity and consisting of a series of tests that measure various aspects of cognitive function. After hospital discharge, participants will be provided with iPads which will be returned at the 90 day follow up visit.
Primary outcome measures
- Sensitivity of DCog Short for Early Detection of Neurotoxicity [Time frame: Until 30 days post CAR T-cell infusion, with frequency as described in the protocol schedule section 10.0.]
- Specificity of DCog Short for Early Detection of Neurotoxicity [Time frame: Until 30 days post CAR T-cell infusion, with frequency as described in the protocol schedule section 10.0.]
- Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of DCog Short for Early Detection of Neurotoxicity [Time frame: Until 30 days post CAR T-cell infusion, with frequency as described in the protocol schedule section 10.0.]
- Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of DCog Short for Early Detection of Neurotoxicity [Time frame: Until 30 days post CAR T-cell infusion, with frequency as described in the protocol schedule section 10.0.]
- Raw Accuracy of DCog Short for Early Detection of Neurotoxicity [Time frame: Until 30 days post CAR T-cell infusion, with frequency as described in the protocol schedule section 10.0.]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Immune Effector Cell-Associated Encephalopathy (CARTOX-10) Score Change from Baseline [Time frame: Until 30 days post CAR T-cell infusion, with frequency as described in the protocol schedule section 10.0.]
- Differences in Neurotoxicity Development and Detection Across CAR T-Cell Therapy Types [Time frame: Until 30 days post CAR T-cell infusion, with frequency as described in the protocol schedule section 10.0.]
Eligibility criteria
