CAR-T therapy may erase vaccine immunity, new study warns
NCT ID NCT06784167
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.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors understand whether blood cancer patients need revaccination after CAR-T therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study (45 people) that only measures immune markers, not health outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients or vaccines.
