Examining extracellular vesicles in patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy

Official title: Study of Extracellular Vesicles (EV) in Patients Undergoing CAR-T Cell Therapy

Run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna · NCT06554951 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to find out if certain tiny particles in the blood can help predict how well CAR-T cell therapy will work and if it will cause side effects in people with tough blood cancers.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with hematological malignancies such as r/r B cell lymphoma, B cell acute leukemia, or multiple myeloma who are eligible for CAR-T cell therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with hematological malignancies who are not candidates for CAR-T cell therapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients with refractory or relapsed hematologic malignancies who are candidates for CAR-T cell therapy. It aims to identify potential biomarkers in extracellular vesicles that may predict outcomes and toxicity associated with CAR-T cell infusion. By analyzing these vesicles, researchers hope to uncover factors that influence treatment response and adverse effects, particularly neurological toxicity. The study will involve collecting data from patients undergoing CAR-T cell therapy at a leading medical center.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved patient outcomes by identifying biomarkers that predict treatment response and toxicity.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using extracellular vesicles as biomarkers is gaining interest, this specific study is exploring a novel application in the context of CAR-T cell therapy.
