Long-Term Safety of CAR-T Cell Therapy

This study is looking at the long-term safety and effectiveness of a type of gene therapy called CAR-T cell therapy (Lentiviral-based CAR-T cell therapy). Health authorities require this study to monitor patients for up to 15 years after their last treatment. You can join if you have already received CAR-T cell therapy through a Novartis-sponsored trial or a University of Pennsylvania trial that Novartis is involved with. The study will track how many patients experience certain side effects over time, and also look for long-term effectiveness and how long the CAR-T cells stay in your body. This information helps us understand the benefits and risks of CAR-T therapies better.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 1400 participants, all of whom have previously received CAR-T cell therapy.
What's involved
You will be monitored for 15 years after your last CAR-T cell infusion, with assessments at specific intervals up to year 15.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 15 years after their last CAR-T cell infusion.
