Study of Extracellular Vesicles (EV) in Patients Undergoing CAR-T Cell Therapies

Brief Summary

Patients with refractory/relapse hematologic oncology disease may benefit from innovative therapy such as Car-T cells. Factors strongly predictive of outcome and response are unknown. Extracellular vesicles are recognized as a mode of intercellular communication and are reminiscent of the cell of origin. They are currently candidates to be biomarkers for this biomarker of phenomena occurring in tissues. The working hypothesis is that they may be predictive of outcome and toxicity, as some preliminary data have suggested.

Therefore, the aim of the study concerns I dentification of potential CAR-EV biomarkers associated with neurological toxicity after infusion of CAR-T cells.

Response rate to treatment with CAR-T cells18 months

For lymphoma: complete remission is defined by the absence of signs, symptoms, and PET/CT of the disease as described by Mac Manus MP et al. Cancer Imaging. 2007;7:10-8 For multiple myeloma: complete remission is defined as absence of M protein signs using standard tests, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, and less than 5% plasma cells in bone marrow aspirates (Fernandez de Larrea C et al. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2011 Jul;17:1084-7).

For acute leukemia: complete remission is defined with less than 5% blasts in os-seo marrow and all other blood cell counts have returned to normal levels.Dohner H et al Blood. 2022;140:1345-1377.
