Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with DLBCL scheduled for commercial CAR‑T treatment at Hospices Civils de Lyon who can provide consent and are not institutionalized or under legal protection are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients treated in other centers or enrolled in other CAR‑T clinical trials, as well as institutionalized individuals or those under legal protection, are unlikely to be eligible or benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, non-comparative observational study of adults with diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma treated with commercial CAR‑T cells at Hospices Civils de Lyon. Participants will complete self-administered questionnaires and take part in semi-structured interviews to document quality of life, real-world drug consumption, and patient experience. Data collection occurs during routine hematology follow-up and through the clinical pharmacy unit to capture real-life care outside clinical trials. The goal is to provide complementary real-world evidence to the pivotal phase 1–2 trials that focused mainly on efficacy and safety.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help improve supportive care, medication management, and policy decisions for patients receiving CAR‑T therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Pivotal CAR‑T trials showed clinical benefit in refractory DLBCL but generally did not collect detailed real-world quality-of-life or drug-use data, making this observational focus relatively novel.
