First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether CAR-T cell therapy reduces the body's ability to fight off diseases like measles and mumps that were previously prevented by vaccines. Researchers will measure antibody levels in 45 adults with multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma before and after CAR-T treatment. The goal is to understand if patients need to be revaccinated after this type of cancer therapy.
