CAR-TOOL

The aim of the project is to collect and evaluate data from real clinical practice, which are related to the administration of CAR-T cell therapy in patients with certain hematological malignancies who face poor prognosis. CAR-T cell therapy is currently indicated in adult patients with certain types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, incl. aggressive, relapsing or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal B-lymphoma, high-grade B-lymphoma, transformed follicular lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma; and in pediatric patients and patients under 25 years of age with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who do not respond to a defined number of standard therapy lines.

 start of the project: 01/2021

Primary objectives

  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of CAR-T cell therapy based on treatment response (ORR, CR) and patient survival (OS, PFS).
  • Evaluation of the incidence and severity of side effects of CAR-T cell therapy.
  • Assessment of the effect of previous treatment, comorbidities and disease status on the parameters evaluated in objectives 1 and 2.
  • Monitoring CAR-T expansion and persistence in the patient's peripheral blood and evaluating the association with response and toxicity.
  • Monitoring of selected cytokines after CAR-T administration and evaluation of the association with toxicity.

Secondary objectives

Monitoring the number of treated patients for an overview of the current situation and discussion with health care payers. Evaluation of the risk-benefit balance in assessing the indication and for optimizing the process of selecting patients for treatment with CAR-T cell therapy.
