Overview

To learn about the relationship between changes in pupil size and reactivity and the start of neurological side effects in patients after receiving CAR-T cell therapy.

Description

Primary Objective:

To assess the association between the status of NPi drop from baseline (prior to CAR T-cell infusion) to the lowest NPi post Axi-cel (CD19 CAR-T cell) infusion and the status of immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity onset within 10 days post CD19 CAR-T cell infusion.

Secondary Objective:

To evaluate the largest absolute difference in NPi between two eyes (∆ NPi) and assess its association with severity of clinical symptoms as measured by Immune Effector Cell Encephalopathy (ICE) and or radiographic / EEG findings

Exploratory Objective:

To assess the feasibility and safety of a pupillometer use in patient treated with Axi-cel therapy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  3. Patient with histologically proven DLBCL, PMBCL or tFL, or follicular Lymphoma receiving axi-cel CAR-T cell therapy in the inpatient setting at MD Anderson Cancer Center
  4. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who have already been administered CAR-T cell therapy.
  2. The patient who is unwilling or unable to comply with the requirements of the study including being able to be assessed with pupillometer
  3. Patient has a condition which places him at an unacceptable risk as determined by the investigator

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
