ABSTRACT: Purpose
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy has shown clinical efficacy in refractory and relapsed large B-cell lymphomas, but is associated with serious acute and long-term toxicities. To understand the patient perspective, we measured a patient-reported outcome (PRO), specifically, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), at multiple time points over one year.Methods
This was a prospective feasibility study of a cohort of patients who were eligible for standard of care CART therapy, tisagenlecleucel. Demographic data and disease characteristics were collected. HRQoL was measured using FACT-Lym at baseline, and months 1, 3, 6 and 12. FACT-Lym includes FACT-G (physical, social, emotional and functional well-being domains), plus a lymphoma subscale.Results
