New tool aims to detect brain fog in cancer patients early
NCT ID NCT06414278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a tool kit called SALSA that tracks stress, mood, and speech to find cognitive side effects early in people getting CAR-T therapy for cancer. About 38 adults will use the tool during their hospital stay. The goal is to see if it's practical and can catch problems sooner than standard checks.
