CAR T-Cell survivors: what happens years later?
NCT ID NCT07048535
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 80 children and young adults who received CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) at least two years ago. Researchers want to see how feasible it is to track their long-term health, including any new or lasting side effects, brain function, immune health, and quality of life. Participants must be in remission and have had no other treatments after CAR T-cells (except a stem cell transplant). The goal is to better understand the lasting effects of this therapy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could reveal the long-term health outcomes and quality of life after CAR T-cell therapy, helping doctors better manage survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational follow-up study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to new therapies, and results depend on participant willingness to return for assessments.
