Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancy who are scheduled for outpatient standard-of-care CAR-T therapy and have a committed family caregiver who can read English or Spanish are eligible.

Probably not a fit

Patients receiving inpatient CAR-T, those without a committed family caregiver, those unable to read English or Spanish, or those unable/unwilling to use remote monitoring are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies

This randomized, controlled Phase 3 trial will enroll 190 patients receiving outpatient standard-of-care CAR-T therapy and their family caregivers to compare usual care versus a multilevel intervention enhanced with remote patient monitoring (RPM), educational materials, telemonitoring, and structured questionnaires. The intervention combines real-time symptom telemetry, caregiver engagement, and best-practice clinical pathways to detect and respond to complications earlier. Outcomes will include clinical effects on symptom burden, adverse events, healthcare utilization, and caregiver-reported measures during and after CAR-T. The study is led by City of Hope Medical Center with support from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the program could reduce severe side effects, improve symptom control, and provide better support for caregivers during and after outpatient CAR-T therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Remote patient monitoring and digital education have shown promise for symptom management in other oncology settings, but robust randomized Phase 3 evidence specifically in CAR-T recipients is limited.
