New study to track brain health after CAR-T cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT07463781
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 100 adults with certain types of lymphoma who are receiving CAR-T cell therapy. Researchers will test memory, attention, and other thinking skills before treatment and at 6, 12, and 24 months after. The goal is to learn how CAR-T therapy affects brain function over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CAR-T cell therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better understand and manage memory and thinking problems that may occur after CAR-T therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
