What's stopping myeloma patients from getting CAR T-Cell therapy?
NCT ID NCT06126341
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study observes 49 patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and their doctors to find out why some patients don't receive advanced cell therapies like CAR T-cells or stem cell transplants. Researchers will track referral rates and use questionnaires to measure anxiety, depression, and social support. The goal is to identify barriers and improve access to these treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors understand and remove barriers so more patients can access advanced cell therapies for multiple myeloma.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 49 participants, so findings may not apply to everyone. It does not test a new treatment itself.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Potential research subjects will be identified by a member of the patient's treatment team, the protocol investigator, or research team at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK). If the investigator is a member of the treatment team, s/he will screen their patient's medical records for suitable research study participants and discuss the study and their potential for enrolling in the research study. Potential participants contacted by their treating physician will be referred to the investigator/research staff of the study. The principal investigator may also screen the medical records of patients with whom they do not have a treatment relationship for the limited purpose of identifying patients who would be eligible to enroll in the study and to record appropriate contact information in order to approach these patients regarding the possibility of enrolling in the study.
