Tailored support for seniors may speed recovery after CAR-T cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT06052826
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a geriatric assessment—checking physical function, thinking skills, and nutrition—followed by tailored support (physical therapy, delirium prevention, and nutritional help) can help people aged 60 and older recover faster after CAR-T therapy for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma. About 164 participants will be split into two groups: one gets the extra support, the other gets standard care. The main goal is to see if the extra support improves physical function 30 days after treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- geriatric assessment and tailored interventions (physical therapy, cognitive education, nutritional support)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that personalized geriatric care helps older adults recover faster and with fewer side effects after CAR-T therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with 164 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The interventions are supportive, not a direct treatment for the cancer itself.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Ability to provide informed consent * Patient's physician must agree for patient participation. A physician may elect to provide blanket agreement for participation of any eligible CAR-T patient under their care * Ability to read English, or Spanish. Other languages will be acceptable with site principal investigator (PI) agreement if surveys are available and language does not preclude completing study procedures * Age: \>= 60 years at the time of enrollment * Scheduled to receive an Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved CAR-T for treatment of multiple myeloma or B-cell non- Hodgkin lymphoma * Willing and able to complete study requirements * Patients expect to be able to participate at least once before lymphodepletion with trimodality optimization visits Exclusion Criteria: * Prior CAR-T therapy * Any condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures * Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics)
