Official title
Neurocognitive Assessment in Adults Undergoing CD19 Targeted CAR-T Cell Therapy: a Multicenter Observational Prospective Study
Overview
This is an observational, multicenter, prospective cohort study including patients treated with CAR-T in Italian centers. Patients eligible for enrollment in the study will be consecutively included in Italian FIL centers. A longitudinal survey will be carried out by collecting patients' data before starting CAR-T (T0) and after 6 (T1), 12 (T2) and 24 (T3) months after CAR-T infusion.
Interventions
- Other Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells (CAR-T) therapy
Patients will be treated with CAR-T cell product as per routine clinical practice.
Primary outcome measures
- Self-assessed neurocognitive performance [Time frame: The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)]
- Neurocognitive performance evaluation: Cognitive Status - Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [Time frame: The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)]
- Quality of Life (QoL) [Time frame: The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)]
- Psychological status [Time frame: The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)]
- Resilience [Time frame: The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)]
- Adverse events [Time frame: The endpoint wil be evaluated at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)]
- Treatment characteristics: Previous Central Nervous System Prophylaxis [Time frame: The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy)]
- Overall Survival (OS) [Time frame: The endpoint will be evaluated from the beginning to the end of the study (at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)]
- Neurocognitive performance evaluation: Praxic Abilities - Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (Copy Condition) [Time frame: The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)]
- Neurocognitive performance evaluation: Verbal Memory - Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (Word List 3 Recall) [Time frame: The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)]
