Summary

Per Health Authorities guidelines for gene therapy medicinal products that utilize
integrating vectors (e.g. lentiviral vectors), long term safety and efficacy follow up of
treated patients is required. The purpose of this study is to monitor all patients
exposed to CAR-T therapied for 15 years following their last CAR-T (e.g. CTL019) infusion
to assess the risk of delayed adverse events (AEs), monitor for replication competent
lentivirus (RCL) and assess long-term efficacy, including vector persistence.

Objectives

Patients are enrolled following completion or early discontinuation from a Novartis
sponsored or supported study of CAR T-Cell treatment. Patients will be followed for 15
years post treatment from the last treatment. They will be monitored for safety and
efficacy within the primary treatment protocols for the protocol defined duration.
Patients can drop off treatment protocols at any time to enter this long term Follow up
study. Patients discontinuing from the primary treatment protocols for any reason will be
enrolled in this long term follow up (LTFU). This will allow collecting data on long term
safety and efficacy (as applicable) as mandated by the health authorities of all patients
treated with CAR-T therapy within the concept of a single protocol.

Collection of such long term effects of CAR-T cell therapy will help to further define
the risk-benefit profile of CAR-T Therapies.

**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts... Click here to learn more about clinical trials.
