Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study on chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is to monitor the feasibility, efficacy, toxicity and biomarkers in a real life setting.

Partecipants will be asked to agree to their clinical data collection and to partecipate to the optional biological study that aims to evaluate biomarkers of toxicity and response (clinical characteristics, cytokine profile, cellcomposition and type of the CAR-T cell product, lymphoma genomics). The study will evaluate even the disease response according to lugano criteria by PET and CT in routine clinical activity.

Detailed Description

This observational prosopective multicenter study aims to:

1. evaluate the feasibility of CAR T-cell treatment in the real-life setting, with particular regard to eligible patients versus those subjected to leukapheresis versus those finally treated.

2. evaluate the survival outcome of PMBCL, DLBCL, MCL and FL patients treated with CAR T-cells versus those potentially eligible, but excluded from cellular therapy for other causes (either related to the patient or to the manufacturing);

3. monitor the incidence of early and late AEs up to three year after CAR-T;

4. evaluate disease response and immune recovery biomarkers at different time-points up after CAR-T (when clinically indicated or using blood sampling leftover);

5. evaluate biomarkers of toxicity and response (clinical characteristics, cytokine profile, cell composition and type of the CAR T-cell product, lymphoma genomics).

6. evaluate disease response according to Lugano criteria by PET and CT in routine clinical activity.

Primary Objective:

• Feasibility and efficacy of the treatment in the real life practice

Secondary Objectives:

* Evaluation of Outcome \[Response rate (ORR), Overall survival (OS), Progression free survival (PFS), duration of response (DoR) non-relapse mortality (NRM)\] according to Lugano criteria.

* Evaluation of bridging therapy (outcome and safety)

* Evaluation of salvage therapy after CAR-T failure (outcome and safety)

* Comparison of the different CAR T-cell products (time from patient screening to infusion, disease response and safety)

Primary endpoint:

to evaluate the percentage of patients infused versus those eligible and leukoapheresed to evaluate the overall response and survival at one year of the patients treated with CAR T cells.

Secondary endpoints:

Overall response rate (ORR) at 3-6-12-18 months Overall survival (OS) for all patients included in the study OS, Progression free survival (PFS), Event free survival (EFS), and duration of response (DoR), non-relapse mortality (NRM) after CAR T-cell therapy at one,two years and 5 years Incidence and grading of CRS and neurotoxicity Number of patients receiving a bridging therapy before lymphodepletion Intensive Care Unit admission rate for all treated patients Lymphoma genomics and circulating cell free DNA as early response biomarker Characterization of toxicity biomarkers Analysis of immune reconstitution and CAR-T expression Early Adverse event (grading/onset/severity/treatment) Long term Safety (AE grading/onset/severity/treatment) Incidence of second malignancies Evaluation of quantitative parameters of PET by central review, when applicable in selected sites This is an observational multicenter prospective study enrolling all consecutive patients referred to the Italian hematologic centers already qualified for CAR T-cell treatment with relapsed/refractory DLBCL, PMBCL, MCL and FL. The screening will be done according to the axi-cel, tisagen-cel, brexucabtagene autoleucel and lisocabtagene maraleucel label criteria, the eligibility of a given patient to CAR-T will be definedaccording to AIFA criteria.

All patients eligible to CAR-T will be consecutively enrolled Biological samples will be stored at each institution or centralized at the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milano. Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) will be in charge of the GCP management of the study. Web-based CRF are prepared by FIL.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Efficacy of the CAR-T cells treatment in lymphomas in the italian real life practice10 years enrollment, minimum 1 year follow-up

Evaluate the survival outcome of PMBCL, DLBCL, MCL and FL patients treated with CAR T-cells versus those potentially eligible, but excluded from cellular therapy for other causes (either related to the patient or to the manufacturing)

Feasibility of the CAR-T cells treatment in lymphomas in the italian real life practice10 years enrollment, minimum 1 year follow-up

Evaluate the feasibility of CAR T-cell treatment in the real-life setting, with particular regard to eligible patients versus those subjected to leukapheresis versus those finally treated. The percentage of patients infused will be estimated as the number of patients infused divided by the total number of those declared eligible; the corresponding exact confidence intervals at 95% will also be estimated.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of Outcome: duration of response (DoR)10 years, minimum f-up 1 year

Duration of Response (DoR): for patients who will respond to treatment, the duration of response will be measured as the interval between the response achievement and the date of progression or death, whichever occurs first, with censoring at the date of the latest follow-up in alive patients without progression. DoR curves will be estimated with the Kaplan Meier method.

Evaluation of bridging therapy: efficay10 years, minimum f-up 1 year

Bridging therapy will be analysed in terms of efficacy in terms of response achievement compared to response assessment prior to bridging therapy.

Evaluation of Outcome: Overall survival (OS), according to Lugano criteria.10 years, minimum f-up 1 year

Overall survival (OS): time will be measured as the interval between the date of CAR-T infusion and the date of death for all causes, with censoring at the date of the latest follow-up in alive patients. OS curves will be estimated with the Kaplan Meier method.

Evaluation of bridging therapy: safety10 years, minimum f-up 1 year

Bridging therapy will be analysed in terms of safety as per adverse event occurrence (according to CTCAE).

Evaluation of Outcome: non-relapse mortality (NRM)10 years, minimum f-up 1 year

Non-relapse mortality (NRM) after CAR-T cell therapy: time will be measured as the interval between the date of treatment start and the date of non-relapse death, with censoring at the date of the latest follow-up in alive patients without relapse. NRM cumulative incidence curves will be estimated regarding disease recurrence as competing event, and between groups comparisons will be performed using the Gray test.
