Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Others

Describe the characteristics of endothelial EVs and their temporal evolution before and after treatment with CAR-T cells according to ICANS grade.

Secondary objectives 7

  1. Describe the characteristics of EVs and their temporal evolution before and after CAR-T cell treatment as a whole and by subtype according to ICANS grade (grade 0 to 4).
  2. Describe the differences in the profiles and temporal expression levels of EVs between patients with ICANS versus no ICANS.
  3. Describe the differences in the profiles and temporal expression levels of EVs in relation to the profile of cytokines secreted during CAR-T treatment and the occurrence or non-occurrence of ICANS.
  4. Describe the characteristics of EVs after treatment with CAR-T cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) if available.
  5. Describe the association of EVs subpopulations according to clinical neurological impairment and the presence or absence of sleep apnea syndrome.
  6. Describe the association of EVs subpopulations according to cognitive assessment and MRI.
  7. Describe MRI anomalies.
