Study design details

Study design

Observational study

Main study objective

To assess potential CAR transgene involvement by performing molecular profiling of tissue samples obtained or are about to be obtained in the course of routine clinical practice from patients who were treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel or brexucabtagene autoleucel and developed a secondary T-cell malignancy.
The molecular profiling will include the following, as applicable:
• The presence of the CAR transgene in the blood and/or tumor and/or bone marrow biopsy, as
well as the CAR level, if the CAR transgene was detected.
• Presence of RCR.

Setting

This observational study will be conducted in the EEA and UK and will enroll patients on an ongoing basis.

Outcomes

The following laboratory parameters will be used for molecular profiling:
• The presence of the CAR transgene in the blood and/or tumor and/or bone marrow biopsy.
• The CAR level, if the CAR transgene was detected in the blood and/or tumor and/or bone marrow biopsy.
• Presence of RCR.
• Presence of somatic mutations that are common in hematologic malignancies.
• Transgene integration site analysis results.
• Transcriptome/RNA analysis results

Data analysis plan

No statistical analysis is planned. The molecular profiling results will be described for each patient tested.
