Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults treated with CAR-T cell therapy who can use an iPad and have visual acuity of 20/100 or better.

Probably not a fit

Patients unable to use tablet-based tools, or those who do not experience neurotoxicity may see no direct benefit.

What this trial studies

This pilot study evaluates the use of the DCog Short, a self-reporting, tablet-based tool, to detect neurotoxicity in patients undergoing CAR-T cell therapy. It aims to determine how well the tool works in capturing neurotoxic symptoms and cognitive changes. Eligible participants are adults treated with CAR-T therapy who can use an iPad, with recruitment planned at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The FDA has not approved DCog Short for this purpose, and the study includes screening, questionnaires, and cognitive assessments to compare findings with standard monitoring. About 40 participants are expected to enroll in this single-site study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, DCog Short could provide a convenient, patient-driven way to monitor neurotoxicity during CAR-T treatment.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research in similar patient-reported tools has shown potential for capturing neurotoxicity signals, but DCog Short is being evaluated for this specific setting and population.
